The reviews highlight that while the game offers a satisfying farming experience with a blend of simulation elements, it is often criticized for its grindy nature, requiring significant time investment to progress and unlock features.

- “Good game - quite grindy though.”
- “Sadly to say, I legit sat there on 3x speed for so long without doing a single thing trying to make money so I could start doing the cool stuff like using tractors and combines in fields, but sadly you'd probably have to spend like 4+ hours grinding tomatoes to get to that point.”
- “Farming costs a fortune without any good income (vehicle, people cost, low seasonal income).”

monetization
