  • gameplay54 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with players appreciating its unique mechanics and engaging gameplay loop, particularly in the context of survival and crafting. However, many reviewers noted issues such as a lack of clarity in mechanics, tedious grinding, and a feeling of unpolished execution, which detracts from the overall experience. While some find it enjoyable and rewarding once the mechanics are understood, others criticize it for being clunky and lacking content, suggesting that improvements are needed for a more intuitive and satisfying gameplay experience.

    • “I absolutely love it! Yes, it's hard and you have to get used to the game mechanics, but it's worth it ❤️”
    • “The gameplay loop in this game is really well developed.”
    • “I love games with their own unique gameplay.”
    • “The only upside for this game is that it is incredibly cheap, but the grind is just not worth it. There is no 'looking forward to what is next' in this game; tier 1 scythe is the same as tier 3, storage tier 1 is the same as its superior, and the upgraded kitchen just has more recipes. I can congratulate the developer if they are solo on this project and managing to actually finish it, but the game overall just seems lazy, at least in its gameplay mechanics.”
    • “A lot of flaws, sluggish gameplay, lack of content.”
    • “It is lacking content and only offers 1-2 hours of real gameplay time if you ignore all the grinding that is necessary to progress.”
  • grinding54 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding it tedious and repetitive, particularly in the early stages and during resource gathering. While some appreciate the grind as part of the survival and crafting experience, others criticize it for being overly slow and lacking engaging content.

    • “Pacing was a little too slow for me, story was not explained, grindy in a boring repetitive way and could have used more development time.”
    • “It's far too grindy, and you simply run out of game content on your way to get there.”
    • “It was fun for the first few hours then got tediously repetitive.”
  • story45 mentions

    The game's story is widely regarded as weak and underdeveloped, with many players expressing disappointment over its lack of depth and progression. While some appreciate the environmental storytelling and potential for a richer narrative, the absence of a compelling plot or character development leaves the experience feeling incomplete and grindy. Overall, players hope for future updates to enhance the story and provide a clearer sense of purpose within the game.

  • humor11 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding it genuinely funny and others feeling that the reliance on sarcasm and "bad" jokes detracts from the experience. While the game features amusing fourth-wall breaks and quirky character interactions, opinions vary on its overall comedic effectiveness, with some appreciating its charm and others deeming it outdated. Overall, the humor adds a unique flavor to the gameplay, though it may not resonate with everyone.

    • “Green Project is a great game even though it's not very well known. It has good gameplay, a bit of good humor, and it's generally fun to play if you like semi-grindy games.”
