Barn Finders

Buying a storage unit always feels like a gamble. Most of the time it's just piles of junk, but every now and then you find something that makes the whole trip worth it. Cleaning everything up and slowly uncovering valuable items is surprisingly satisfying, even if the gameplay starts repeating itself after a while. I just wish there was a bit more variety because the idea behind the game is genuinely fun.

This one is... a very difficult recommendation.

See, it's a *LOT* of fun. I can sink hours into this just finding and grabbing items, selling them. The sense of humor is somewhat puerile, but at the same time, I can't help but find myself laughing at it, and though there are moments that feel uncomfortable, nothing falls into racism so much as character stereotypes. And *all* of them are stereotyped.

If that's the kind of humor and characterization (or lack thereof) that you either find hilarious or can deal with, this game has a hell of a lot of fun charm to go along with the buy and sell. I genuinely enjoy the majority of it, despite what I'm sure that says about my sense of humor.

The biggest issue that makes me lower the grade is that it's janky as *all* hell. Items clip a little too easily, programming errors pop up, and there are plenty of areas that you can get stuck in, though at least you can 'reload from last save' and get back to the entrance of a zone (generally with all finds intact). Getting back items that clipped into a background, on the other hand, is not as easy/possible to do (that I have found), so be careful.

If that isn't your type of humor, and if 'jankiness' makes you tear your hair out, I completely get giving it a pass. I wouldn't blame you. But all in all, I genuinely would recommend it otherwise. It's not expensive, and it's worth it. I did receive it (and the DLC) as a gift, but I'm not going to lie: I would be willing to pay for it in full.

I went into Barn Finders fully expecting chaos after reading all the reviews about glitches. Honestly, I was braced for my character to fall through the floor, explode into pixels, or get booted into space. But nope, I played the whole game and every DLC, and it all behaved surprisingly well.
I sunk 24 hours into rummaging through barns, hoarding junk, and unlocking every achievement like the over committed gremlin I am. A word of warning though: do not smash everything in sight. I know, I know it’s tempting. But some of those random objects are actually essential for reaching higher spots. Destroy them too early and you’ll be stuck staring up at unreachable loot like a sad raccoon. Looking at you, Knuckles’ Barn.
The annoying bit? You can’t restart a level until you’ve finished it, so if you mess up, congratulations, you’re living with your choices. And if you miss the golden toilet paper at a Bid Wars auction, tough luck, you can’t go back for it.
Verdict: 6/10
not brilliant, but definitely barn worthy.

The game is fine and fully playable, everything ran smoothly.
For 100% completion you will need both DLCs.

Bought this game as part of a bundle because it was only a dollar more to add the game, and honestly I like this game more than the game I originally bought the bundle for.
Super fun and there's a lot put in to the game, unique twist on an auction/flipper game. 10/10 would buy again!

If you ever loved watching Storage Wars, Barn Finders might be right up your alley.
You explore abandoned barns, houses and other locations, looking for anything worth taking home.
Some things are complete junk, while others can be cleaned up, repaired and sold for a nice profit.
It can get a little repetitive after a while, apart from that the game worked fine for me.
Overall, a decent game for when you just want to relax.
I also recommend buying it when it's on sale and not for the full price.
