  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the graphics and relaxing experience but criticizing the steep learning curve and lack of intuitive mechanics. Many feel that the game mechanics, particularly related to tool usage and driving, are underdeveloped and require significant improvement to enhance playability. Overall, while some controls, like the crane, function well, the gameplay is considered lacking and in need of more depth.

    • “I like the graphics, the gameplay is relaxing, and if you have a question, the people are very friendly and helpful on Discord.”
    • “The crane and mechanical controls work great.”
    • “Way better gameplay directed at logging too!”
    • “The learning curve on the tools is way too steep, as there are not many intuitive elements compared to other mechanic sims.”
    • “Much of the anemic gameplay revolves around driving, which is a solid no for me.”
    • “The game needs much work on mechanics to be considered playable, and it lacks engaging gameplay overall.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly due to the monetization of features that are typically included in other titles, like the Farming Simulator series. The lack of a polished experience and the janky physics engine further detract from the enjoyment, leading some to recommend alternative games for a better logging experience. Overall, the grinding feels excessive and poorly implemented compared to competitors.

    • “That is the biggest turn off for me. I would love to support official DLC, but when you want to charge five bucks to unlock a loan feature (again, the Farming Simulator series integrated that in the game at launch), it makes me want to uninstall the game.”
    • “The physics engine used for this game is way jankier than the one used for Farming Simulator.”
    • “If you are looking for a forestry game, I would recommend doing forestry in a Farming Simulator game if you can find one cheap enough.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with users reporting lag, glitches, and unresponsive controls that hinder gameplay. Many feel that despite attempts to adjust settings, the performance issues remain unresolved, indicating a need for substantial improvements in optimization.

    • “I would also like to see the controls, especially the lag, become more optimized.”
    • “A little optimization wouldn't hurt.”
    • “It's laggy, glitchy, and overall not optimized enough to be played.”
    • “I would also like to see the clunky controls and especially the lag become more optimized.”
    • “This is very badly optimized, and nothing I did with the settings fixed any of my issues.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely absent, with players noting a lack of background narrative and motivation, making it less appealing for those seeking a compelling storyline. Instead, the focus is primarily on missions and equipment purchases, which may feel tedious to some.

    • “There is no background story.”
    • “If you need a story for motivation, don't bother with this one.”
    • “It is great if you like being stuck in the mud and only doing missions and spending more money to buy a single machine.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, leading to crashes and other stability issues, prompting some players to recommend waiting for further updates before playing.

    • “This game has so many bugs and glitches.”
    • “I realize this is an early access game, but I will leave it and check back again once all the bugs and glitches have been worked through (like the game crashing when I try to turn vehicle lights on...).”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized as silly and potentially hilarious, often stemming from the malfunctioning machines that lead to amusing situations. However, the cumbersome controls can detract from the overall enjoyment, making the humor feel more frustrating than entertaining at times.
