The game lacks a traditional storyline, offering players the freedom to create their own experiences through farming and completing repetitive quests. While some players appreciate the casual, pressure-free gameplay, many find the absence of a narrative or character interactions leads to a sense of monotony over time. Overall, it caters to those seeking a relaxing farming experience rather than a story-driven adventure.
“It doesn't have any set storyline or any finish, but instead lets you choose how you play, what you do, and allows for almost endless possibilities.”
“The different quests and missions in the game are fun to complete and by doing them it shows you that you can do a lot of different things on your farm or somebody else’s.”
“You can decide to follow quests which earn you ribbons to spend on things like gas stations to fuel a customizable tractor, buildings to speed things up and make life on your farm easier, sprinklers to water crops which will lower the time to take before harvesting them or flowers to earn more money off them.”
“However, it gets a little boring after a while due to lack of a storyline.”
“There are no objectives and there is no story.”
“The only downsides is that there isn't any story or plot; your quests are just to unlock different crops, trees, plots, etc.”

“At least until the ads start, or you run out of energy or whatever and have to spend real money or wait to continue playing, all while locked behind a paywall and having your battery drained like crazy?”

Overall, the game's stability is mixed; while many players report smooth performance at 1080p with minimal bugs, some experience significant issues such as freezing and crashes. Early access status means that while there are some minor glitches, they are generally not game-breaking. However, a few users have encountered severe problems that hinder gameplay, leading to a lack of recommendation for those affected.
“Runs great at 1080p medium detail.”
“Great mechanics, super fun, runs great on Steam Deck.”
“It is also very bug-free, with only a few very minor issues noted.”
“Every action you do drops your FPS, controller support is super buggy, and the resolution keeps changing by itself.”
“So buggy you can't even type the farm name.”
“However, in my case, the game is impossible to run. It either freezes or gives me a blue screen (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR). I've tried contacting support, changed launch parameters, deleted UnityCrashHandler, changed video settings numerous times, reinstalled the game, learned about fan curves, and configured my GPU to hit a maximum of 75°C, cleaned out my dust filter, cleaned up my SSD, posted on Reddit with no response, and yet after all of that, the game still freezes. For that reason, I do not recommend the game if you encounter the same errors.”
