Reviews indicate that the game is not a true farming simulator, with many players expressing disappointment in its lack of authentic farming mechanics and tedious gameplay. While some find it enjoyable as a casual farming-themed game, others criticize it for being a frustrating experience, particularly due to lag and repetitive tasks. Overall, those seeking a genuine farming simulation are advised to look elsewhere.
“If you are seeking a farming simulation, then seek elsewhere, because this has nothing to do with farming, nor simulation.”
“A game shouldn't be tedious to play, but halfway through the first race I just wanted it to stop, and that's not what you want from a game in the slightest.”
“A bad version of farming simulator with 100% more lag!”

The game's optimization is considered subpar, requiring players to either lower graphic settings or have a high-end rig to achieve satisfactory performance. While some tweaks can improve frame rates, the overall experience is not as polished as other titles in the genre, with a passable frame rate of around 30 fps being deemed adequate for the slower-paced gameplay.
“This is the best so far, and there are one or two other options I could try out further to see if any more performance gains can be had.”
“Without further ado, here is the new performance; full HD maxed out.”
“Frame rate is passable; not as optimized as, say, Codemasters' Grid or Dirt of F1 series, but it's still enjoyable as the tractors are slow-moving, so 30 fps should be adequate.”
“Frame rate is passable; not as optimized as, say, Codemasters' Grid or Dirt or F1 series, but it's still enjoyable as the tractors are slow-moving, so 30 fps should be adequate.”
“Only thing, as mentioned before, is that the optimization isn't top-notch, so either sacrifice some graphic quality or you need a very beefy rig.”
“Applying one of those tweaks here resulted in a marked improvement in fps; older lackluster performance when compared to this can be found at the bottom of this review and another one in the forum.”

The game's graphics are praised for their beauty and offer extensive customization options, though these are only accessible through the launcher. However, the optimization is criticized, requiring either a powerful rig or compromises on graphic quality for smoother performance.
“In short, the graphic quality is beautiful, so I don't understand what's the dissatisfaction with that.”
“Apparently, someone has said that this game will run on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.”
“The game has plenty of options to tweak graphic details, but that is only available in the launcher.”
“The optimization isn't top notch, so you either have to sacrifice some graphic quality or need a very beefy rig.”
“The graphics are underwhelming and could use significant improvement.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the cheesy soundtrack while others find it repetitive and uninspired, particularly criticizing the lack of engine noises and the presence of a generic country soundtrack. Despite these criticisms, some users still appreciate the overall quality of the soundtrack in conjunction with the game's graphics and controls.
“Great graphics, amazing soundtrack, and amazing controls.”
“There are no engine noises; instead, the pure lack of anything is filled with a really bad 'country' soundtrack, which I had definitely heard somewhere before.”

Users have reported stability issues, particularly with USB gamepad functionality, where the in-game cursor uncontrollably drifts to the right, indicating buggy behavior when using the analog stick for mouse control.
