Virtual Villagers Origins 2 for Pc

This game is a really nice concept, and it’s a lot of fun to play. However, everything takes much too long to complete because all of the crafting times take so long, and in order to have more than one crafting station open you need a lot of diamonds that are hard to get unless you want to pay a significant amount of money. If you could trade in tech points for lava Stones, especially since once you upgrade everything there’s no use for tech points anymore, It would be a lot better. Even if it was like 5 million tech points for 100 lava Stones, which would still take a long time to accumulate, it will be better than nothing at all. The puzzles are fun to solve and play, but once again they take days and days to finish because some of the crafting times are anywhere from 10 hours to over 24 hours, and you’re given just the one station to work with unless, again, you want to pay almost $30-40 to get enough lava Stones to upgrade to have the other two stations open. So, while I really enjoy the game, you have to be very very patient when playing it and it has to be a game you just play for a few minutes once a day because you’re going to have to wait until the following day to be able to move on with most of the puzzles once you start getting to the heart of puzzles.

I’m not sure whose idea it was to create this game but fail. I’ve been playing VV since I was a kid and never have I ever been so underwhelmed by anything. The format of this game is so annoying because it has the elements of LDW games we love but with the greediness of a P2P game. I downloaded VV 5 at the same time and finished that one today while barely making progress in this one. And this is after purchasing the starter pack so I can only imagine how boring it is without it. The truth is that this game is TOO slow. I play a lot of real time games and never have I been able to come check in once or twice a day and not be able to make any type of progress. The amount of tech points required to just get to level two is ridiculous. The amount of trial and error and the fact that you have to wait in between gathering resources. And then guess combinations. And then do more waiting as it is crafted. Just sooooooo many elements put into this game that scream overkill and desperation for money. Tip: if y’all are going to make a game that is “long term”, there needs to be some type of reward system (easier to accomplish mini puzzles, clear goals and instructions, longer descriptions about tech upgrades and what they bring) in place so your players don’t feel like they’re wasting their time. And it’s even more evident that this game was made strictly for profit because it doesn’t even have the same speed up capabilities as the others. So disappointing.

So I just recently purchased the lemur in hopes of gaining a ton of Magic because my villagers weren’t gathering any and the crafting hut said “Cannot be gathered at this time”, and while I’m away for a few days, it collects a lot of items that you can craft with, which is what I expect. However, and I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but when I’m gone for only a few hours/close to a day at a time, I come back to only tech points/food being collected. It feels like a waste at this point because I have to be on the app for an hour before it’ll collect any Magic. Then wait for the game to save itself, which takes forever, for it to be available to me. Not to mention I previously completed the blue statue puzzle in the game and had to exit the app before the saving icon in the top right corner could finish and now i have to wait for another jump potion to complete it again. Honestly, though, despite the bugs/money needed to get faster results, the game is great. I love that it’s different from the other versions, however I wish there was an option to stop time like in previous versions. Thanks for your time!

I would like to preface this by saying, I have loved the concept of these games, and the earlier ones were a good challenge. It took almost no time to have a stable supply of food and tech points. My people never starved, the only thing I really did need in this game is to wait for the crafting timers to be done to proceed, get people to master skills by repeatedly only letting them work on one thing and waiting on tech points. One such thing is how sometimes, your villagers will pop up in places they can’t get out of when you open the app. Another is how some ads won’t give you anything despite the timer being finished. I have been told and seen on from others who have this app that there should be something to pop up at times to let you watch an ad to shorten crafting times, but I never get that option. I have to agree with an earlier review as well, getting tech points and food from the cracks after having bought the lemur is rather frustrating, as I have no need for it, and likely never will. On one last note, when I pause the game, it should pause the daily login bonus as well, but it doesn’t. If there is some way to patch or fix these issues, please do so.
