I’ve played the majority of the VV games, and I absolutely love it! From the intriguing puzzles, to finding new resources and maxing out the villagers’ skills. However one disappointing point about this new game is the fact that there are too many, and too expensive in-game purchases. It was so much better when you would pay for the game and it was much easier to gain tech points, food and other resources. It can be a deal breaker, and many games now are like that: at top level they are free, but to be able to make it through the game you have to at some point buy something.I would suggest going back to the old model, I would rather pay £1.99 or £0.99 for a game and be able to play it without having to watch ads or having to spend my salary on things to help me complete a game.

I like this game a lot, however it takes forever to craft things or costs too many lava stones. As another reviewer said you need patience which I'm afraid I don't have a lot of, however I've completed chapter 1 and am really looking forward to chapter 2, hopefully coming real soon. In the original version you could make stew/soup for the whole village which was great, so I would love to see this option in chapter 2. Just one question why are the scientists so contrary, they are forever wandering off either curious about something or washing themselves, sunning, swimming you name it but the farmers work their little socks off, also it would be nice to see them retire, oh and what's the point of the huts when they can't go in them? I would also like to see a clothing option. Thanks ☺️

I used to love playing these games on PC when I was younger and have just downloaded this app. I am currently really enjoying it! However the only things I would critique is the fact that the villagers seem a bit “dim” when left alone while your not playing the app. Therefore, I once didn’t play the app for around 24 hours and some of my villagers died from starvation when there was more than enough food available in the food hut. Alongside this, some of the in game purchases can be very expensive/ unrealistic to get without spending actual money. I think some prices of items should be lowered due to this game being aimed at CHILDREN as well as adults.

This is a game to take your time with. Yes, everything takes ages, (tech points, villager skills etc) but there is plenty to puzzle over. Not an intuitive game, but finding out what you can do is part of the puzzle. £9.99 IS a lot of money for the lemur and the perch, but guess what? You don’t need them. I’ve not yet managed to get all skills maxed for one villager in one VV lifetime (or even 3 as it turns out; but you can resurrect any villager in exchange for lava stones) but if like me you can’t solve a particular puzzle, then it just means you need to try it differently. This is a game you can really get your teeth into, and involves a lot more thought than the usual mindless crap you find in the games App Store. Well done LDOW, I love it and I am looking forward to Chapter 2!
