ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lost Artifacts Chapter 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hobby Farm has 182 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Hobby Farm's written reviews are positive against 0% of Lost Artifacts Chapter 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hobby Farm ships an update every 9 months, Lost Artifacts Chapter 1 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
