Look before you buy
I am sure that this would be a fun game if only the illustrations were not so small. There seems to be lots of ways to earn points,build the farm,make purchases etc and the music is cheerful but I found myself having to squint to see some of the items. Other people may not have this problem.I only played the demo but decided not to buy,

An almost perfect game
I purchased Farmscapes before I began writing reviews, and never made it back here. It's an outstanding game, well worth purchasing even at full price, as I did. The artwork, colors, animations are all exquisite. The matching games and hidden object scenes are bright and colorful and fun. Nothing gloomy, nothing too tiny to see. The best part, like Gardenscapes, is designing a marvelous farm, with choices for mixing and matching. The animations of the farm are a lot of fun to watch, and you can interact with the farm buildings and people by clicking on them. This is nearly a perfect game, but...
There are no power-ups during the matching games. Yes, you can earn bombs for matching groups of four or more, but you have no control over where the bombs land on the playing field. And some of the playing boards have tricky designs with trouble spots, and you'd really like to have an easy out with a power-up to get rid of it. Instead, you end up matching and matching, sometimes, waiting for the icons to drop in just the right way to break the crate. This shouldn't hold you back from buying the game. It's just a little grumble that I hope Playrix will fix if they make a version 2 of Farmscapes...and I'll be one of the first to buy it if they do.

BEEHIVES and LONNNGGGG LOADING
I gave this game a 4star rating mainly because I felt that I was spending MORE TIME WAITING for the scenes to load 1 after the other than I was in actually playing the game! This L-O-N-G, L-O-N-G, L-O-N-G loading of scenes in between the farm scenes and the Match3 play just made the momentum sag and become somewhat frustrating.
As for the Beehives -- these will show up during your Match3 game play (not sure if they'll show up BEFORE buying the beehives for the farm or not; if not buy as soon as possible) after you've used quite a few of the firecrackers, bombs, and explosives and are OBJECT eliminators.
I stress the fact that the hives are OBJECT eliminators because you'll come upon levels wherein you either are LUCKY enough to get a bomb or explosive close enough to blow-up those squares that are NOT part of the main board or you'll need to use a beehive on those objects that MATCH said objects that are in those squares that are NOT connected to the main board to clear the yellow tiles.
My point being -- don't be too quick to use the beehive (as they ONLY appear after you've used MANY firecrackers, bombs, and explosives which only they themselves only show up w/5 or more matches) because you may need to try to work objects close to those beehives (no, you don't need to have 3 matches to use the beehive) in order to get those off-to-the-side squares cleared.

FARMSCAPES - FUN BUT ...
Overall, a good game with lots to do and great art. I particularly enjoyed the match 3 along with hidden objects. The only thing that I could find that will prevent me from buying this game is the annoying scene where we are to find the beetles. They took so long to show up it wasted my time. Other than that, a great game.

Lots of subtle extras
Won't repeat all the other reviews, but I like that the screensaver shows the current state of the farm: you put up a hammock, the screensaver shows the hammock. Also like the interactions between the characters and you the player, complete with your name: and the way you can name the dog.
One problem: while playing the M3 games, I don't have time to read all the comments made at the bottom of the screen by the customers!
It would be nice (though probably much more coding time) if the other farms could have different layouts.

Good Clean Fun
Haven't finished playing it yet but am having a great time. The story is clean and fun with no occult overtones or even hints. It's fun to build the farm and see the improvements, interact with the characters a bit and wait to see if the Mall parking lot will eventually take over my farm! A great way to spend some spare time. And the little boy is funny to watch, very hyper, goofy, clumsy sometimes. "Grandpa, Shekki is bothering me," he says when I click on him too much. Hahaha
