Playing video games can have many positive effects on children. Eye coordination, problem solving, decision making, and reading are just some of the skills that benefit from a healthy amount of gaming. my wonderful ranch is an easy-to-play management simulation game that can be played with small children as an introduction to the game.
fantasy ranch
Developed by Paris-based team Piece of Cake Studios, the game is available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Played here on PS5, the game has an install size of 1.17GB.
gameplay
my wonderful ranch Set in a fantasy world where you design and develop a ranch to adopt, train and care for unicorns and dragons. To develop your ranch, you can offer lessons to paying students and earn cash to spend on upgrades. The game will pop up some small goal achievements aiming for small rewards for completing these tasks.
As you grow your product and gain reputation, you will be able to level it up and gain access to new buildings, arenas, and decorations. You can also upgrade the buildings you have to increase your abilities and abilities. Managing the happiness of students and creatures striving for perfection will eventually unlock the option to compete your team in tournaments.
You can also host festivals for your kingdom to impress the royal family with their achievements. It all evokes theme park nostalgia.
graphics and audio
The visuals here aren’t world-lightening, but they’re very engaging for the target audience.
The ranch is a nest of animated activities, all while staff, students and creatures work around the ranch. The default view is the Isometric His style perspective. The right thumbstick lets you zoom to any part of the ranch to see activity up close.
The audio adds to the relaxing feel of the game and fades nicely into the background as you play.
I ran into a bug where characters and creatures would freeze in the middle of tasks in renders where the arena was not available. After exiting the game and returning to the save file, a crash occurred and this save file became inaccessible. Hopefully the team can patch this issue.
longevity
The game has two different modes, Normal and Dreamer. Normal offers a standard, basic story mode, while Dreamer is a free reign mode with no story or restrictions. Ideal for children to explore on their own and test their skills without limits.
Tournaments offer the added challenge of trying to train top talent who can take home big prizes.There are also a total of 25 trophies: 9 Bronze, 8 Silver, 7 Gold and 1 Platinum. can be obtained.
final thoughts
my wonderful ranch It offers a simple yet sophisticated gameplay experience. Its slow pace makes it perfect for playing with younger children while still challenging the older ones.
The vibrant presentation will appeal to kids who don’t like unicorns and dragons. My kids (4 year old and her 6 year old) enjoyed doing this with me and loved the variety of creatures available for adoption as the ranch grew and buzzed with activities.
i am in this game Thumb Culture Silver Award.
