The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates, poor texture quality, and frequent glitches. Many players noted that even on lower settings, the graphics remained unstable and unplayable, leading to frustration, especially when compared to other more graphically intensive games that run smoothly on their systems. Overall, the game's graphics are considered poorly optimized and in need of significant improvement.
- “Fun, beautiful graphics that need optimization; very glitchy, and I went through the map several times.”
- “Fun game, graphics could be slightly better; lags frequently for me because my PC isn't the best, but it's nice to have a good PC.”
- “Ran at 5 fps the whole time, sometimes dropping to 3, with the graphics on the lowest and resolution all the way down.”
- “The graphics quality tanks the second you drop it from the highest settings; there are massive problems with frames dropping, and the game is unplayable.”
- “Bad graphics and poorly optimized game, frequent crashes. I don't know what to say about a game that was supposed to look good but looks terrible in the trailers and gameplay before the premiere of this version.”

The reviews indicate a general consensus that the game lacks a compelling story, with many players expressing frustration over the difficulty of reaching any narrative content. Some players suggest that while there may be an interesting story in the main game, the challenges and obstacles make it nearly impossible to engage with it fully. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as minimal or non-existent, leading to a lack of motivation to explore it further.
- “I thought maybe when I started my first mission it would take me directly to it.”
- “In this game, we have realistic snow physics and missions, as well as beautiful winter landscapes.”
- “No story”
- “Eventually I got out of it and soon I would come to face myself with my first mission.”
- “But of course the job requires nothing but perfection since these obstacles create a chunky pile, creating a new obstacle. After spending another 40 minutes trying to complete this mission, I found myself staring back at myself and wondering, why am I even here? Why am I doing this?”

The gameplay has received largely negative feedback, with users criticizing the poor vehicle mechanics, bad audio, and overall lack of polish. Many feel that the game was not ready for release, citing issues like frequent crashes and subpar graphics, which detract from the core mechanics of completing tasks. Overall, players do not recommend the game in its current state.
- “Onto actual gameplay.”
- “The vehicle mechanics are bad, the audio is really bad, and the English is horrid.”
- “I came face to face with driving controls that can only be compared to what would happen when an old school video game is imported onto PC by a noob who had no concept of simple driving mechanics.”
- “All in all, while the main mechanics of the game are there, aka get job, shovel snow, get money, go next, do it again, this demo was not ready for release and I don't even know why they did release it.”
optimization

The game is widely criticized for its poor optimization, featuring unstable graphics, bad textures, and frequent crashes. Many players report significant performance issues, including memory leaks and glitches, particularly in outdoor environments. While some acknowledge the game's potential and hope for improvements in future updates, the current state makes it difficult to recommend.
- “Although the performance with the play test on my older system with an i7 7700k and 1080ti performed roughly the same as my 7800x3d and 4080 does now.”
- “Fun, beautiful graphics that need optimization; very glitchy and I went through the map several times.”
- “At this moment, I cannot recommend this game at all due to performance issues, even on the lowest settings.”
- “Poorly optimized, memory leaks (game started at ~2GB of RAM taken, before I closed it - 7GB).”
- “The game is not optimized a single bit; inside it's fine, but when you walk outside it's horrible and even worse with the pickup.”
- “Bad graphics and poorly optimized game, frequent crashes. I don't know what to say about a game that was supposed to look good but looks terrible in the trailers and gameplay before the premiere of this version.”
monetization
18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being misleading, as it presents itself as a full game while functioning primarily as an advertisement for the "Snow Plowing Simulator" priced at $30. This practice is seen as harmful to gamers and unfair to legitimate developers, as it occupies valuable marketing space and misrepresents the product, ultimately equating the experience to consuming free advertisements rather than engaging with a complete game.
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
- “This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”
grinding

Players overwhelmingly express that the grinding in the game is excessively time-consuming, often likening it to needing a "second life" to manage it. Some suggest that alternatives, like Farming Simulator 22 with mods, offer a more enjoyable experience without the same level of grind.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Just buy Farming Simulator 22 and get some snow plowing mods; it's going to be 100 times better.”
music

The music in the game has been widely criticized for being annoying and of poor quality, with users noting that it fails to respect saved sound settings, playing at maximum volume regardless of user preferences. This negative perception aligns with the developer's previous titles, which have also been noted for their subpar music.
- “Any song but the default one does not respect the previously saved sound settings – i.e., if your volume level is below 100%, the song would still play at 100% volume.”
- “Music is horrible.”
stability
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The stability of the game is criticized for being buggy and poorly optimized, particularly in the snow-clearing mechanics, which feel more like operating a zamboni than effectively pushing snow. Overall, players find the experience unsatisfying and frustrating.
- “It's unsatisfying, buggy, terribly optimized.”
- “Clearing snow is extremely unsatisfying and buggy (you don't really push snow, you're basically a snowplow zamboni, if that makes sense).”
