The gameplay is currently hindered by numerous bugs, making it difficult to assess its overall quality, though some players find enjoyment in mastering storage mechanics. While the introduction of Central America gameplay offers a fresh seasonal dynamic, many feel overwhelmed by the complexity, detracting from the fun factor. New features like soil mechanics and larger-scale farming are present, but they are not seen as significant improvements.
“Game is great once you learn the storage mechanics.”
“The Central America gameplay is a welcome change to the initial mechanics of the game in terms of seasons.”
“Soil mechanics and larger scale farming is pretty much it.”
“But for me, there are too many things I need to take care of, making the game no longer fun to play. It was excruciating after half an hour with the vision of future gameplay.”
“In terms of new gameplay features, it's nothing too significant.”
“Soil mechanics and larger scale farming are pretty much it.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players noting poor optimization that leads to performance issues even on capable hardware like the RTX 2080 Ti and GTX 1650. While a few users appreciate the improved visuals compared to the previous version, many feel that the enhancements are minimal and not worth the price, suggesting that the game feels outdated overall.
“I like it, but it overheats my graphics card, which is an RTX 2080 Ti. I know it's pretty old, but it usually can handle this type of game with ease without the fans on maximum.”
“Lots of things to do, and the graphics are good.”
“I started the game and found it not optimized, even with my NVIDIA GTX 1650 DDR6 graphics card.”
“Technically, it's almost the same game as 2021, with more crops, slightly better graphics, and some new features.”
