Do you remember FarmVille, the agriculture-simulating social network game that once flourished on Facebook, captivating millions of players worldwide? Its simple yet enchanting gameplay made us all virtual farmers, growing crops and raising livestock while managing our dream farms. The joy of reaping our digital crops and the sense of community from sharing with friends were the cornerstones of its overwhelming popularity.
Although FarmVille may no longer be as prevalent as it once was, the captivating experience it offered has certainly left its mark. It sparked a whole genre of farm-themed simulation games, many of which have added their unique twists and turns to make the gaming experience even more exciting.

So grab your virtual plows and watering cans, because it’s time to get back to the farm! Stay tuned as we dive into the realm of games that will rekindle your love for digital farming and rural life.
Farming Simulator 22
It's a bit more technical and true to life compared to FarmVille, but it's a fantastic series for those interested in a more realistic farming experience. You operate machinery, manage resources, and try to build a successful agricultural enterprise.
Hay Day
Developed by Supercell, Hay Day is a farming game where you cultivate crops, raise animals, and manage resources to expand your farm. It has a vibrant art style and gameplay similar to FarmVille. Plus, it's available on mobile devices, allowing you to farm on the go!
Stardew Valley
It isn't a free game nor is it on iOS or Android (at least not yet anyway), but it is a great little game that is worth playing if you liked the farm simulation side of Farmville.
Big Farm
Big Farm: Mobile Harvest is practically the same game as Farmville. It actually looks a lot nicer than Farmville and is available on mobile. You will not have the same sort of community that you did with Farmville since this was connected to Facebook and pretty much everyone was playing it, so you had lots of friends to visit.
Farm Tribe 2
Farm Tribe is another series on mobile that is a lot like Farmville. They have released a few different games in this series now so they have nailed down a lot of the bits that have not fit right
Plantera
Plantera puts a completely different perspective on things, but is along the lines. Might be a nice one to play if you want to change things a bit since there are already 2 Farmville clones that I have referenced here already.
