The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players noting it can be tedious and time-consuming, particularly when farming for resources, levels, and recipes. While some appreciate the balance of grinding with engaging storylines and mechanics like crafting and building, others find the repetitive nature of tasks such as farming and resource gathering to be a significant drawback. Overall, the game is recommended for those who enjoy a slower-paced experience, but it may not appeal to players who dislike grinding.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“Sometimes the pacing can be a little sluggish and running around, farming enemies in the hopes that they will drop actually useful recipes, like those for stronger armor or weapons, or holding down 'E' as you break trees upon trees or rocks upon rocks for resources, becomes tiresome.”
“The game has no cheat codes which is a big downer since there's a lot of grinding.”
“However, it gets boring very quickly since it is very grindy.”

The game is widely criticized for its instability, with numerous reports of bugs affecting both singleplayer and multiplayer experiences. Many users describe it as unpolished and unfinished, highlighting issues such as glitches, lag, and game crashes that detract from overall enjoyment. While some players note that they encountered few or no glitches, the consensus leans towards a need for significant quality of life updates and bug fixes.
“The story is great, the pixelated graphics are awesome, there are no glitches that I could find.”
“Great game as it is with so much to it, needs more polishing and more content, but there is a ton already in it. I'm not quite finished, but I know there is no way I won't be able to. This game is excellent, and I can tell if they keep up with the same great stuff they have so far, I know I'm going to love the end product. Things I would change include adding online servers so we can meet others who play, and having teleporters work more like a switch so you can summon it, then turn it off with the rune (then cooldown) so I could explore a bit more or do more before it shuts down. I would add more control, but otherwise, I'm happy and bug-free.”
“Awful, buggy, unfinished mess of a game.”
“It was way too buggy and laggy to actually do anything.”
“Just quite unfortunate that it can be rather buggy when playing on multiplayer, like sudden game crashes or weird screen of death.”

“The multiplayer was my main reason for buying Feel the Snow, and not being able to actually utilize it was heartbreaking.”
“This is incredibly cute and wholesome, despite only being in early access.”
“It's seamless, there are NPCs you can actually talk to, quests... this game is very wholesome and did I mention it was adorable as heck?”

The game's optimization is inconsistent, with reports of stuttering and performance issues, particularly after extended playtime, leading to frame rates dropping below 50. While it runs adequately on lower-end systems and has few bugs for an early access title, players have noted that multiplayer performance may vary and that ongoing improvements are needed for a smoother experience.
“It runs smoothly on any crappy computer (or mine) and it has lots to do, but the day and night cycle could be a bit longer.”
“For being in early access, I have only come across 2 bugs which made me have to restart the game, but apart from them, it runs smoothly.”
“Know that I played this game solo, so I can't judge the multiplayer, but if it runs smoothly, I think it would be fun.”
“When I finally got time to play this game, I was subject to consistent stuttering that occurred every 10 seconds.”
“But after the first hour, things got progressively slower. My FPS was barely sitting above 50, and my friend was lagging fairly badly. Obviously, this is something that's already being worked on, but I still feel I need to make it clear that performance isn't flawless yet.”
