The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the realistic handling of the lawnmower, while others criticize it as unpolished and lacking variety compared to previous entries in the franchise. Despite some enjoyable mechanics and fun elements, many feel it falls short of expectations, especially given its price point.
“Very fun game, lots of enemies to avoid, and the drifting mechanics are beautiful!”
“The gameplay consists of a lawnmower that handles terribly; however, I believe this to be a conscious choice by the developers to reflect the realism of driving a John Deere.”
“This entry into the lawnmower game franchise feels like a step backwards, matching the relatively high price of the first game while simultaneously failing to deliver in performance and gameplay variety.”
“It may maintain some mechanics from the second game and even add some of its own, but when you get down to it, it's really just an unpolished, novelty revamp of the original game.”

The story is considered decent but lacking depth, with reviewers expressing a desire for more backstory regarding the infected animals and clearer objectives. The absence of a competitive leaderboard further diminishes engagement, leaving players feeling that the narrative could benefit from additional content.
“5/10: Decent, but not enough content. I feel like there should be more of a backstory as to why the animals are infected, and there should be more of an objective. I can't keep trying to get a score without a leaderboard to compete on.”
