Greenhaven Farm

Greenhaven Farm is the comfort food of this catalogue. You inherit a run-down plot and slowly turn it into a thriving little village, planting crops, befriending townsfolk and fixing up old buildings. Crucially, there are no energy meters or waiting timers pestering you to come back.

It plays entirely with taps and drags, and the layout tools are generous — you can rearrange your whole farm without penalty, which turned me into a serial redecorator. The seasons change the look of everything, so it never feels stale across a long playthrough.

Battery use is modest and it happily runs in short bursts or long lazy evenings. If you want something warm and low-stress, this is an easy pick.
