A Repetitive Farming Simulator Crawling with Bugs (PSVR2)

A farm simulator with a hand-drawn style, Across the Valley is from FusionPlay. Each day lasts fifteen minutes, and your role is farmhand. You’ll have to complete as many tasks from the task board as possible before dark. Among the daily tasks on the farm are planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting crops, feeding, watering, and petting livestock, and shoveling animal waste.

It’s the most interactive activity of all. To ensure maximum yields, you’ll need to evenly sprinkle seeds on each plot on your allotment. Water and weed each patch daily, and after a few days you’ll reap the benefits. Your harvest can then be used for livestock feeding or sold for a profit. As well as topping up their water and feeding troughs, you must pet and muck out their barns on a daily basis for the livestock. Although the tasks are simple, it feels more like a list of chores than a game. There are very few minigames for shearing sheep and milking cows besides your daily routines.

Since you drift further and further away from the wooden stool on which you are supposed to sit, every time you teleport around the farm, you’ll have to reset your position. You even clip into walls and other objects — at one point we even found ourselves inside a sheep! This, along with the cumbersome tool interactions, wacky item collisions, and your hands often getting stuck and becoming immovable, make these simple chores quite tedious.

It’s wide array of bugs, repetitive gameplay, and lack of content make this farm unsuitable for Push Square or Red Tractor approval.
