  • Farming Engine offers a charming and relaxing farming experience, reminiscent of early versions of popular games like Stardew Valley and Don't Starve.
  • The game is free to play, making it an accessible option for those on a budget who enjoy mindless farming mechanics.
  • Despite its incomplete state, the game runs well on lower-end hardware and provides a pleasant way to spend time.
  • There is no tutorial, which makes it difficult for players to understand the mechanics and objectives, leading to confusion.
  • The game feels incomplete, with limited content, bugs, and a lack of essential features like sound and a proper menu system.
  • Many players have reported glitches that can erase progress, and the overall gameplay experience is considered tedious and lacking depth.
  • monetization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a deceptive form of advertising, with users equating it to traditional ads that are generally disliked. Despite the developer's claims that this approach prevents asset flipping, many see it as a cash grab that undermines the integrity of the game. Overall, the monetization model is viewed negatively, with users feeling it detracts from the gaming experience.

    • “And because this is advertising, there's no way I can recommend it even if it's free.”
    • “If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, yeah... this is absolutely an advertisement.”
    • “The developer makes the somewhat farcical claim this isn't an advertisement, but that's how everyone else sees it.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of "Farming Engine" to be both enjoyable and tedious; while some appreciate the mindless farming experience, others criticize the lack of features like multi-sow functions and character customization, which can make the gameplay feel repetitive and frustrating. Additionally, the absence of a tutorial may hinder new players from fully engaging with the game.

    • “I will not recommend this game at this time as there needs to be more work done by the devs. There is no multi-sow function; each seed has to be selected to be sown individually, which makes it tedious at best.”
    • “There is no character customization, and there is no tutorial either. If you are not familiar with farming games, then you might struggle to figure things out.”
    • “Farming Engine is a Unity asset flip cash grab.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a low-poly style that some users find reminiscent of pre-existing Unity assets, leading to mixed feelings about their originality. While the art style is generally described as cute and appealing, the overall execution is seen as lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for more engaging gameplay elements.

    • “This was lovely, and I enjoyed the art style. It's a cute little game, exactly what I like in a game.”
    • “Lazy, low poly graphics (some of which look like someone else's Unity assets!).”
    • “The graphics are cute, but the gameplay is lacking in many ways.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been compared to "Don't Starve" in terms of mechanics, but it suffers from a lack of tutorial guidance, bugs, and overall flimsy execution.

    • “Reminds me a bit of 'Don't Starve' in some of the mechanics.”
    • “No tutorial, bugs, and flimsy gameplay.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report significant stability issues, with game glitches causing loss of progress as early as day 8, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction.

    • “Game glitches and destroys all your hard work by day 8.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I lost my progress multiple times due to unstable servers.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game is notably lacking, with users reporting the absence of any music, sound effects, or audio cues, which contributes to a disengaging experience. This absence detracts from the overall immersion and enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “There is no tutorial, no music or sound effects, and no quests or tasks. After playing for around 10 minutes, I just didn't feel engaged at all.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is perceived as lacking originality and depth, with some players finding it amusing only in a superficial way. Overall, the comedic elements do not seem to elevate the gameplay experience significantly.
