The reviews for "grinding" in the game highlight a significant divide in player experiences. While some players appreciate the depth and realism of the farming mechanics, noting that the game offers a more authentic simulation compared to Farming Simulator, others criticize the excessive grinding required to achieve progress, labeling it as tedious and joyless. Overall, the game is seen as a more complex and realistic farming simulator, but the grind can be a barrier for casual players.
- “Almost impossible achievements (if you are not spending hundreds of hours grinding).”
- “The game lacks content; they bring you anything you can need for farming, but I suppose buying the brand licenses is not easy or probably FS has rights... I'm not sure, but the sim lacks vehicles.”
- “I thought this game would be a lot better than it is, so not worth what I paid for it. It's hard to control anything, and this is coming from someone that has over 300 hours in Farming Sim 17. I played one hour of this game and after that, I am trying to see if I can get a refund because the controls are just that bad. It's unplayable.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the realistic soil physics and vehicle models, while others criticize the overall visual quality and performance issues, particularly at higher settings. Some users note that the graphics can be stunning when optimized, but the game struggles with frame rates and draw distances, leading to immersion-breaking experiences. Overall, while there is potential for impressive visuals, significant improvements are needed to meet player expectations.
- “The graphics are extremely well done; you actually feel like you are plowing the field when your tractor starts to struggle in a wet area or up a hill.”
- “Harvesting animations are also excellent; it is pure joy viewing how the maize is being pulled in and cut with the harvester, all done with stunning graphics and visuals.”
- “For example, the soft soil physics are by far the best I've seen in a farming sim; the soil feels realistically soft and the plow and cultivator behave very nicely.”
- “I expected much better graphics by now.”
- “Do not think your game will be able to output the same visuals as the official screenshots show, without sacrificing a playable frame-rate.”
- “To make it look acceptable you need max graphical settings and the game runs on 10fps with those.”

The gameplay of the farming simulator is centered around a detailed and realistic farming experience, emphasizing crop care, machinery use, and environmental factors. While the game features deep mechanics and a well-organized tutorial system, it suffers from performance issues and incomplete content compared to established titles like Farming Simulator. Players appreciate the potential for realism and complexity but note that the game currently lacks a comprehensive economy and some gameplay elements, suggesting it may improve with future updates.
- “You want to simulate a detailed farming experience on just one beautifully created and realistic looking map where the care-taking of crops using different machines and implements is the core of gameplay, making careful judgments on how these implements are used while keeping a close eye on upcoming weather, soil composition, and fertilizing when needed. In a nutshell, do all the thinking and planning a farmer does.”
- “The crop mechanics and driving physics on the fields are really well done compared to other farming games.”
- “The growth mechanics are excellent and very realistic for a video game.”
- “If you want to play a farming game, stick with Farming Simulator. While it may not promise as much innovation and new mechanics year on year, it does at least offer a fully finished and playable game, with more than one map, three tractors, and five pieces of equipment.”
- “Main thing added after 5 or 6 years was fertilizing mechanics, which are just too confusing and time-wasting.”
- “If you’re expecting a lot of content and major gameplay features as it stands currently, I’d not recommend and will suggest waiting a couple of months as more content and features get added in and current content gets improved and bugs ironed out.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for being underdeveloped, with players feeling that the tutorial missions serve more as a lengthy introduction than a cohesive narrative. While the missions are designed to teach gameplay mechanics, they often lack polish and balance, leading to frustration. Overall, players express hope for future improvements, believing the game has potential but currently feels incomplete.
- “Just one hour into the tutorial missions, I can easily say that this will be a great farming game eventually.”
- “Feel your kidneys ache as you plow or plough -:) Well, nearly with great suspension you feel as you are really there. Every task you could think of is simulated in some form or another, from selling cattle to silage work to feeding cattle to field work and harvesting your crops and wonderful missions on two fine maps.”
- “You start a new story and there is nothing to help you get started - a nudge towards first steps.”
- “The most frustrating ones are related to quests which are intended to teach you how to play and probably are the first thing you encounter.”
- “The game is very promising, but it is still very 'green' yet, since you just play a lot of missions to get used to it, like a big tutorial.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players reporting significant improvements after updates, while others still experience poor performance and bugs. Many users note that it runs well on higher-end systems but struggles on lower-spec machines, leading to low frame rates and crashes. Overall, while there are ongoing efforts to enhance optimization, the game is still considered unpolished and lacking in content.
- “Better performance, new reworked tires, added detail, and the ground mechanic.”
- “There have been a couple of big performance improvements so the game runs smooth now.”
- “The game is well optimized and I'm able to run it maxed out on my Asus ROG Strix laptop with a GTX 1070.”
- “I can't recommend this to anyone, as it's severely unoptimized, lacks content, functionality, there is essentially no machinery progression, and the game is full of bugs.”
- “From what I played, it's highly unoptimized; even when I had the graphic settings set to low, I was getting poor performance.”
- “Do not expect a fully polished game yet; performance is horrible at some times.”
stability

The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, glitches, and overall buggy performance since its release. Despite some improvements, many players feel that the game remains unfinished and unstable, leading to frustration over the lack of timely patches and responses from the developers. Overall, the consensus is that the game is still plagued by significant stability issues, detracting from the experience.
- “A buggy mess of a release and no patch until just before Christmas and no responses to anyone's questions, and they will get away with it because there is no competition.”
- “It has been released and there is no reason for this game to be so buggy.”
- “I have been patient for many instances with this one for years of early stage until 1.0 - the product is buggy and not stable/finished and it will never be because it took so long to develop and still it is full of problems.”
music

The game features a customizable radio that allows players to listen to their own chosen music, enhancing the overall experience. However, users have suggested improvements, such as adding an opening trailer, background music in the menu, and addressing some localization issues where certain words remain in German despite selecting English.
- “We have a radio where you can listen to your own chosen music.”
- “+ radio - you can listen to your own chosen music.”
- “It is time to add an opening trailer when loading the game, some music in the menu, and also more character options. I also noticed that a few words are still in German, even when you choose English, for example the word 'alle', instead of 'all'.”
monetization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The monetization strategy has faced criticism due to a focus on a specific market (Germany) and a lack of broader engagement, which some users believe contributed to poor sales and ultimately led to the game's discontinuation.
- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game purchases that disrupt the overall experience.”
- “I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind a paywall, making it difficult to enjoy the game without spending extra.”
- “The game is heavily focused on microtransactions, which detracts from the enjoyment and makes it feel more like a cash grab than a genuine gaming experience.”
humor

Users find humor in the game's quirks, particularly noting a recent patch that caused achievements to display in the language set on Steam, which some perceive as a rushed oversight. This amusing glitch adds a lighthearted touch to the overall experience.
- “Not a big deal, but kind of funny and seems to demonstrate (in my view) that they did indeed rush here.”
- “Very funny to see.”
