I’ve been playing Animal Land for over a year and still genuinely love it. It’s beautiful, relaxing, and fun — I still enjoy checking in, collecting my crops, playing the event islands, and slowly making progress. I’ve reached Level 13 and unlocked almost all the land without spending any money, and I’ve never had to watch an ad either.I know the game has changed a lot recently, but personally I’ve really enjoyed the changes. After playing for so long, I was getting close to running out of things to do, so the new content has made the game feel fresh again. I also really appreciate how responsive and helpful the support team has been whenever I’ve had an issue.For me, it’s the kind of game that’s best enjoyed slowly, at your own pace. After more than a year, I’m still having fun and looking forward to what comes next.

this was my favorite game. I wrote the review that started "I'm afraid to say this," afraid that it'd change, and I'm sad to say that I was right. With these new updates, there is NO current way to unlock most land and barns. You now need "golden tools" instead of just coins from selling crops, and there's no way to get said golden tools. I've had the same main island for weeks and weeks. There is now no way to estimate how much time it'll take to unlock new land on your main island because it up to utter chance. You now need to sell your wood and stone in exchange for a kind of lottery system for different crystals. You used to just use your coin, wood, and stone. After spending all of the wood and stone I'd saved for weeks, I had 2/88 crystals to unlock a barn. There is no drive or motivation to keep playing, whereas I used to be able to see my progress and look forward to more. The psychology of this game is now that there's nothing to look forward to. And check the Discord; a lot of people feel this way. I'm just a writer lol so I can sort of put it into words. Every new update makes it more difficult to actually *play the game.* This game is supposed to be peaceful and pleasing. It was the BEST GAME I had ever encountered on the App Store before these updates and my favorite by far. We just want to farm, sell, and unlock new land and decorations. That is it. The home island and new fishing is cool but besides that I am actually on my hands and knees begging you to put my favorite game back together. Please please please. It is RUINED and I played it for HOURS every day and now I barely open it because I learned there is no point anymore. There's no replacement. Nobody is playing more often with these recent updates. Please please put it back!!!

I’ve been playing this game for several months now, and I literally log on and play several hours a day each day. It’s so relaxing and a great cozy game. I love that there are so many things you can do, without being “locked” if you don’t do certain things. The developers also take feedback seriously and are very helpful. Overall, it’s been a wonderful game to play and I enjoy all the different events, mini-games, and cute features.

I have been playing for quite some time and found this game to be very fun, but it has become annoying since the backpack feature was added. I can no longer unlock plots on my home island because I need too many gold tools, I have 4 lots of land waiting to be unlocked but I need a total of 19 golden tools to unlock those plots. I get the same items over and over that are useless. Playing the same thing each week and not being able to make any progress on my home island is extremely frustrating. I would rather grind for gold coins like the old way. And I know the response will be “the overall difficulty to unlock plots should be easier than before”, yes it SHOULD but it is not. Because I have played so much already, and I typically buy passes and items weekly, I’m trying to hold on for a better update to fix this issue but I’m not sure how long I can wait. Please listen to your players, this same issue has been mentioned a lot by many players.
