Happy's Humble Burger Farm is a very well made game, by a very talented studio that is Scythe Dev Team, and I am curious to check out their other works after playing the Happy's Humble games.
The gameplay loop is very fun, and making these burgers is extremely fun. It always adds new things to monitor the more you play, it adds new foods you have to make customers the more you play, and that adds to the games overall replay ability. Especially since beating the main game gives you an Endless Mode that you could sink a few hours into.
In terms of the main story mode, the game's first half is significantly better than the game's 2nd half. The first half really builds up this eerie atmosphere, with the burger restaurant. And at first, it really works.
The first boss fight is done very well, and ties into everything well. After you get past this first boss fight, the game does take a bit of a tumble. The game gets a bit crowded, it gets a bit over-complicated, and it just starts adding way too much, and expanding way too much.
They really added too much content to a game that needed not much in the first place. If they kept it as a game just about making burgers, and have the big twist at the end, it would work much better.
The times you meet the mascots are good, but the best is by far Petey, the first villain you meet, and his section is probably the best in the entire game. After that, the sections just get a bit tedious after a while as they over bloat their parts in the game.
The story is good, and very unique for an indie horror game, but it can be a bit confusing. There are many unanswered questions, and from what I have heard, these games are connected to the Northbury Grove games, in which I have not played. So references, cameos, and story that is connected to them I wouldn't even notice, which does halter the experience a bit.
Even if I am sounding negative, this is still a really good indie horror game, and one you should really check out. It just has some big issues, but the positives do outweigh them
Overall: 8/10
