The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players praising their quality and aesthetics, while others criticize significant optimization issues leading to poor performance and frequent glitches. Despite the visual appeal, many users report that the game struggles to run smoothly even on high-end hardware, resulting in frustrating frame rates and graphical inconsistencies. Overall, while the graphics show potential, they are hampered by bugs and optimization challenges that the developers are actively addressing.
“The graphics already look very nice, even with the glitches and frame dips that happen frequently.”
“It's good graphically and the physics are nice, but it's very buggy with driving and how the vehicle reacts.”
“I'd like to note the dev team reached out to me on Steam to help both of us get my graphics card to work properly.”
“If I try to take the graphics down, it feels like I'm playing a game on Roblox.”
“The biggest issue is optimizing the game. I have no doubt they are working on this, so it's only a matter of time. But if I have it on the lowest setting and resolution where I can't even see anything outside because of how bad the graphics are, I get about 20-30 fps with a 7600X (CPU) and a 4070 Ti Super (GPU).”
“The graphics will give you a stroke.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues that render it nearly unplayable, even on high-end hardware. Despite its promising concept, the lack of optimization leads to significant frame rate drops and inconsistent performance, indicating that substantial improvements are necessary for a smoother gaming experience.
“I understand that the game needs a lot of work, particularly with optimization, but there is a really cool concept underneath all of that.”
“The game overall needs a lot of optimization.”
“Even on lower settings, there is no difference; it needs lots of optimization before it's playable.”
“The update to 1.0 made this game go from slightly unoptimized to an absolute mess.”
“Not optimized and almost unplayable for me on an RTX 4070 Ti and i9-13900KF.”
“The performance for this game is bad, constant chugging. I have an RTX 5070 XT and it shouldn't be this bad; it goes from 60 to 10 FPS back and forth constantly.”

The game's story has received mixed feedback, with some players expressing intrigue about its future developments while others criticize its slow progression and lack of depth. A few users liken the narrative to minimalistic experiences, suggesting it feels more like a tutorial than a fully fleshed-out story. Overall, while there are hints of an engaging plot, many feel it falls short of delivering a compelling narrative experience.
“I like it, didn't play so much, but I'm intrigued where the story goes in the future.”
“Epic story.”
“Don't get caught in the loop of just using minor tools, figure out the story and get the tractor, you're welcome.”
“Such as when you clear a road, it doesn't tell you where to turn; it just shows a signpost on the map. There are also a few issues with slow story progression and hitbox registration with vehicles and tools in certain areas.”
“This game has no story unless you count the tutorial :)”
“It's like playing 'Subway Surfers' for the story.”

The game's stability is significantly compromised, with users reporting consistent frame drops, freezes, and numerous bugs, particularly related to vehicle physics and hitbox collisions. While the graphics are visually appealing, the frequent glitches and performance issues detract from the overall experience, making it feel unpolished and frustrating to play.
“At 1440p and low settings, GPU usage was at 100% and there were constant frame drops and freezes.”
“In its current condition, it's not worth it; super buggy and freezes when trying to use the truck. It collides with hitboxes everywhere or the truck jumps 20 ft in the air for no reason.”
“Its good graphically and the physics are nice, but it's very buggy with driving and how the vehicle reacts.”

The gameplay is criticized for being poorly balanced and thought out, detracting from overall enjoyment, though players can still find some fun in it after a few hours. A notable bug affects gameplay by creating unintended snow lines, but unlocking new tools like the plow significantly enhances the experience and adds enjoyment.
“At the time of writing this review, I just unlocked the plow and plowed my first road, and it's a game changer for the gameplay and very fun!”
“The game mechanics are needed, but they are so badly balanced and poorly thought out that it removes any enjoyment from the game.”
“At this point, I'm not sure if I can recommend buying this game, but you will have some hours of gameplay before it becomes easier.”
“The only bug I found that impeded gameplay in any way was that when you run into an obstacle with certain tools, it creates a line of snow straight back from the tool across the entire property until it hits something else.”
