  1. [R11] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US Long time player and Love it!: I really enjoy FarmVille 2: Country Escape, but there are a few quality-of-life improvements that would make a huge difference: • Show how many of each item I already have in my barn while viewing recipes in each production station. • Add a “Sort by Lowest Inventory” option so recipes I need most appear first. • Allow players to search for recipes and inventory item
  2. [R15] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many: Too many games going on at once
  3. [R17] FarmVille 2 5/5 · US FarmVille 2 country escape: I have played farm games before, but this country escape is very realistic. I love how it can teach the littles what animal eats which food and how much work it takes to keep a farm up and running. Might i suggest a bit of adventure for our creatures if we dont keep them fenced in.
  4. [R30] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Special Events!!!: I am about ready to delete this game! I enjoy playing it but they make it so hard (without spending money) to complete the special events! Your not guaranteed a needed item when completing a craft BUT the game should not give you random items 3 to 4 times or more in a row when it is so hard to make the items needed to hopefully get the needed item!!! I have wasted too much ti
  5. [R1] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
  6. [R3] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many issues!!: I’m ready for Zynga and Facebook to fix the connection!
  7. [R4] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Problem connecting: Since the update at beginning of July, the game doesn’t connect to Facebook, and no pictures of coop available and just acting buggy in game. Is this being worked on to fix?
  8. [R5] FarmVille 2 4/5 · US Love it: I would have had put 5 stars but I have been unable to connect to my facebook for about 3 days and it effects the global shop
  9. [R24] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Play to win and tedious: I find it hard to enjoy this game fully. You’re expected to have an absurd amount of keys for most items you wish to get for your farm that are hard to obtain without watching over 400 ads (literally as that’s what it costs to just get a dog) or otherwise buy them with your real life money. It feels very pay to win. Then there’s the fact so many tasks require hours to comp
  10. [R25] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Not enough space for storage: I am tired of my barn being so full I can’t do anything. I x out a lot just to make a little space. To enlarge the barn requires so much material that air have no room for them plus all the events take extra items. I get frustrated that I stop playing. Sometimes I have unlimited speed seeds but no space to use them. What a waste
  11. [R34] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Greedy companies: Your taking the fun out of playing games because of your corporate greed
  12. [R22] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Buggy: Too many bugs. Not getting credit for quest, supplies gathered and can only get keys if you buy them.
  13. [R28] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US You still have not returned my keys you stollen from me 400 plus I want them back: You
  14. [R46] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Too many glitches: I finished my bonus round in the boat race. It didn’t go away, but made me do it again so now it shows me doing it two times when I already completed it do you think that they do anything? That would be a big fat NO! I’ve written to them about other glitches with screenshots and they do nothing not compensate me not fix it not anything.
  15. [R49] FarmVille 2 1/5 · US Glitches and lack support: I have been playing for about 4 years or so and it’s got progressively worse. The glitches never get fixed and they have way too many events and things going on. Reaching out to support to fix glitches are meet with no help or promises to get back with a resolution. Only to never hear back. Don’t purchase things in this game if you do download. You’ll only be disappointe
  16. [R61] Township 2/5 · US Fake: Game is not at all what it is advertised to be.
  17. [R65] Township 5/5 · US Great game: Great game butNOTHING LIKE THE AD!! NOTHING. I don’t know y it’s like that. I’ve been playing for about 2years. I love this game. Challenging, great graphics. I play every day so it bothers me that the ad shows one thing and the game is another. I don’t get it. But great game nonetheless
  18. [R70] Township 1/5 · US Not Good: Nothing like the Add. You only get to play the ad game maybe once a month for 2 min. impossible game to play without spending lots of money. dont waste your time.
  19. [R73] Township 1/5 · US Nothing like the Ad: The game play is not like the ad at all. Really lame.
  20. [R64] Township 2/5 · US Just another money grab: Can’t really play without spending money. After the next chapter my barn kept saying full no mater what I sold. Then found out game cut back on barn capacity. Would have once again pay money to expand barn.
  21. [R67] Township 1/5 · US Rife with cheating: If you don’t care to compete and don’t plan to pay money, sure - download this and enjoy it. But if you are someone who enjoys playing on a team and competing against other teams, don’t bother. Opposing teams frequently put up mathematically impossible scores and hack their accounts to get access to things that they shouldn’t have. It’s a hot mess.
  22. [R78] Township 3/5 · US Good: My scale of W.O.A.H W=WOAH O=Okay A=And where’s the rest of it H=Horrible I would rate this game an O .This game is nothing like the adds but it is fun. You may end up spending money on this game as time goes on.
  23. [R12] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Pop ups!: You have to many pop ups every time you open the game to play. It is very frustrating and you need to change that. sometimes I just back out of the game because I’m tired of closing them down all the time!
  24. [R43] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Too many pop-ups at game start: Every time I open the game there are 4-5 pop ups for events that have to be closed.
  25. [R51] FarmVille 2 3/5 · US Too many clicks before start: It’s a pain to click through several sub games and missions before the start of game. I wouldn’t mind one or two but this is getting ridiculous
  26. [R55] FarmVille 2 2/5 · US Pop ups: Wish there was less pop ups for the different events they have going on. Also wish I could have more of option to open event pop ups instead of being locked into the same weekly thing. Also is there a way to help with the lag because of all the pop ups in the beginning????
