The gameplay has been widely criticized for being repetitive, dull, and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting its unfinished mechanics and clunky user interface. Players find the experience unsatisfying, often reduced to simple tasks like waiting for crops to grow without engaging goals or exploration. While some appreciate the smooth performance and graphics, the overall consensus is that the gameplay feels more like a low-quality mobile game than a polished PC title.
“Haven't had any glitches or problems, seems to run quite smooth and has nice graphics that are quite pleasing for this type of gameplay.”
“The gameplay is pretty straightforward, going away from the 'driving farming machinery' approach that some current simulators take and focusing on timing the planting according to the season and planning when to sell the crops.”
“Gameplay is repetitive, boring, and unsatisfying.”
“The UI is clunky and unintuitive, the gameplay is dull at best, and overall it feels like an unfinished game.”
“Gameplay consists of designating land for specific crops, punching buttons to get someone else to drive the tractor and do all the work, and then hitting fast forward for several days in a row until it's time to punch the next button.”
