  • grinding433 mentions

    The reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players. Many find the repetitive tasks, such as repairing buildings and managing farm equipment, to be tedious and time-consuming, often overshadowing the actual farming experience. While some appreciate the blend of farming with life simulation elements, others feel that the game lacks depth in its farming mechanics, leading to a sense of monotony and frustration, especially when compared to more polished titles like Farming Simulator.

    • “This is not farming simulator; it's a game with farming simulation elements.”
    • “No farming sim or Animal Crossing, but it has the fundamentals to be good if they actually work on the game.”
    • “Personally, it wasn't the farming that drew me in.”
    • “I would not recommend this game; in 3 hours, all I'm doing is repairing and not farming.”
    • “The game has grind where you spend up to a few hours just repairing your farm, which is pretty fun, but could become tedious as there are missions that involve repairing buildings.”
    • “The actual farming moments don’t innovate enough though, and there is no getting away from the fact that it is a big old grind.”
  • story136 mentions

    The game's story is generally viewed as simplistic and lacking depth, with many quests feeling repetitive and tedious. While players appreciate the initial variety of missions and the sense of progression in building and farming, the narrative tends to stagnate after early gameplay, leaving little motivation to continue beyond basic tasks. Overall, the story serves as a framework for gameplay but is criticized for its flat execution and underdeveloped NPC interactions.

    • “I love how there is a storyline and a lot of different things to do.”
    • “This game is really fun if you like games like Harvest Moon or any game where you have to do farming quests; it is a mix of Harvest Moon and House Flipper.”
    • “One of the better farming games if you like game realism of farming along with some semblance of story and progression.”
    • “The story just abruptly stops once you get married and there is nothing else but the constant grind.”
    • “The 'storyline' (if you can really call it that) is quite short and interaction with the NPCs gets old fairly quickly.”
    • “Same generic NPCs, many systems do not seem to be fully fleshed out, the world is empty, the story is dying for a rewrite.”
  • graphics126 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the beautiful and detailed environments, while others criticize the dated character models and overall visual quality. Many users note performance issues, such as lag and glitches, particularly during specific weather effects, which detracts from the experience. Overall, while the graphics have potential, they require significant improvements and optimization to meet modern standards.

    • “Beautiful graphics and smooth loading.”
    • “The graphics of the game are quite impressive, with detailed environments and realistic farming machinery.”
    • “The graphics and lighting are really beautiful.”

    • “Graphics look very bad even on max settings.”
  • gameplay86 mentions

    The gameplay of this farming simulator is characterized by a mix of unique mechanics and engaging activities, such as plowing, planting, and repairing, which can be enjoyable once players adapt to them. However, many users report issues with glitches, clunky controls, and a lack of polish, leading to a repetitive and at times frustrating experience. While the game shows potential for immersive gameplay and offers a variety of tasks, it is hindered by technical shortcomings and a need for further refinement.

    • “This is a unique and fun game with different mechanics than typical farming games.”
    • “The gameplay is immersive and engaging, with a variety of tasks to complete, from planting and harvesting crops to repairing buildings and machinery.”
    • “While it still needs a lot of work, the gameplay is already fun and addicting in its current state (assuming you're interested in farming simulation, business simulation, and RPG elements including grinding).”
    • “Incredibly boring, zero direction, awful gameplay.”
    • “No tutorial, boring mechanics, confusing gameplay, awful map and quest system.”
    • “Makes for some of the most annoying gameplay I have ever seen in any game to date.”
  • stability64 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting numerous glitches, bugs, and crashes that detract from the overall experience. While some players find enjoyment in the gameplay despite these issues, the consensus is that the game feels unfinished and requires substantial updates to address its instability. Overall, players recommend caution due to the frequent technical problems that can disrupt gameplay.

    • “This game feels unfinished and buggy.”
    • “The problem is the game freezes up and crashes a lot, and to make things even more annoying the auto save feature only saves after the completion of a mission.”
    • “Still needs a lot of work; it has a great premise and promise, but it's really buggy.”
  • optimization36 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe stuttering, frame rate drops, and performance issues even on high-end systems. Despite some players noting minor improvements over time, the general consensus is that the game requires substantial optimization to run smoothly and efficiently. Many users express hope for future updates to address these performance concerns.

    • “I will be excited to see this game develop over time as it is polished and optimized.”
    • “Hopefully it will continue being worked on and after some real optimization it would be a great game.”
    • “They fixed a lot of issues, the optimization is better and it doesn't crash anymore for me.”
    • “Very bad voice acting, poor optimization that makes your GPU work harder; frame rate and performance are all over the place.”
    • “Optimization is terrible and the game is riddled with frame drops and lag issues, going from 80fps down to 8 within mere seconds and then back to normal.”
    • “The optimization of the game is shocking; I have a decent system.”
  • humor15 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely derived from its unintentionally funny voice acting, awkward animations, and buggy design, which provide moments of amusement but can become irritating over time. While many players initially find the comedic elements entertaining, they often note that the novelty wears off, leaving a sense of shallow humor. Overall, the game's charm lies in its quirky, albeit flawed, presentation that can elicit laughter, especially in its dialogue and character interactions.

    • “The voiceovers are hilarious and funny to listen to.”
    • “Some of the bugs are hilarious, like a quest giver who likes to jog around the map and blocks traffic until you finish his quest.”
    • “The speech in the tutorial was super funny; I don't think the writer was a native English speaker.”
  • music8 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its pleasant, old Hollywood-style score while others find it repetitive and tiresome over time. While some enjoy the relaxing nature of the soundtrack, others prefer to play their own music in the background. Additionally, the voiceover work has been criticized for lacking depth and variety.

    • “The soundtrack running throughout Farmer's Dynasty is a joyous, almost old Hollywood movie-type score that is pleasant to the ear. You can be sure you'll tire of it after a while; do what I do when I farm and get some of your favorite playlists going in the background.”
    • “Put music on repeat; it is pleasant and relaxing.”
    • “Music is great; I like the machines and the graphics.”
    • “The music is very bad.”
    • “The soundtrack running throughout Farmer's Dynasty is a joyous, almost old Hollywood movie-type score that is pleasant to the ear, but you can be sure you'll tire of it after a while; do what I do when I farm and get some of your favorite playlists going in the background. Similarly, in terms of the voiceover work, it isn't the best I'm afraid; some of the characters feel like robots and others are a bit too suggestive when you just want to talk about your new combine harvester.”
    • “The soundtrack is a bit repetitive but still nice.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    Reviews indicate that the game's monetization strategy is perceived as exploitative, with developers prioritizing cash grabs through advertisements and DLCs over proper support and completion of the game. Players feel abandoned and frustrated by the lack of functionality and the expectation to troubleshoot issues caused by these monetization efforts.

    • “The game was abandoned by the developers half-finished to make another game in a cash grab effort.”
    • “Game no longer works after releasing 2 new DLCs on a cash grab, then they expect me to figure the problem for them by running my event viewer to see what is causing the crash.”
    • “Also want to point out that the only reason the lazy devs even released that patch was to add an advertisement for Farmer's Dynasty 2 to the game.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is praised for its beautiful, detailed graphics that enhance the overall experience, creating a satisfying and immersive environment. While some players note a slow start, the engaging atmosphere ultimately contributes to the fun and enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “Nice atmosphere, good graphics; a little slow in getting started but fun nonetheless.”
    • “Which adds to the whole atmosphere.”
    • “Beautiful detailed graphics, atmospheric, goals, and a feeling of satisfaction when completed.”
  • character development2 mentions

    Character development is marked by comical and meme-worthy designs, but suffers from inconsistencies, as some characters appear oddly rendered and animations are lacking, leading to abrupt and unnatural NPC behaviors.

    • “Unfortunately, the character design is a bit strange – people don’t look right, and a few animations seem to be missing; NPCs suddenly start running for no reason, before promptly stopping and standing still.”
    • “The character designs are comical and meme-worthy.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    The lack of mod support significantly limits the game's replayability, as players feel that the addition of user-generated content like maps and equipment could have greatly enhanced the experience. As it stands, many reviewers find the replay value to be virtually nonexistent.

    • “Had it been more open for modding, which would allow more maps and equipment, the replayability value would be insane.”
    • “It has no mod support, therefore it has zero replay value.”
    • “The game feels repetitive after just a few playthroughs.”
    • “Once you complete the main story, there's little incentive to return.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Players have reported experiencing significant motion sickness while playing the game, leading to feelings of discomfort and frustration. This negative emotional response has resulted in some users seeking refunds, which were denied, ultimately diminishing their confidence in the upcoming sequel.
