    • “The graphics are out of this world!”
    • “The graphics compare to Skyrim and so does its realism; I can tell the makers really spent their time on this.”
    • “Bugs and glitches are so obvious that they would need to actually hit you in the face to be more obvious... from horrible graphics to flying players and trees... and you need to press and hold the right mouse button to turn the camera?”
    • “The max resolution is well below my standard screen resolution, and with all the graphics cranked to max, well, it's lackluster.”
    • “The graphics are worse than vanilla TES III: Morrowind, the controls are nonexistent, and you really can't do anything.”
  • story26 mentions

    The game's story is loosely inspired by the myth of Orpheus in the Underworld, but players find it lacking depth and engagement, often describing it as too short and repetitive. The primary objective revolves around completing missions to chop down specific trees, which can feel tedious and unfulfilling, with the narrative only gaining momentum towards the end. While some players appreciate the humor in unlockable historic missions, the overall storytelling experience is overshadowed by gameplay frustrations and glitches.

    • “From that moment on, the story really kicks into high gear.”
    • “I don't want to spoil it too much, but you'll need the axe from the fifth mission for the good ending as it is the only way to sever Mother Nature from her roots.”
    • “The storyline is too short.”
    • “I still feel like I have achieved precisely nothing after 2 quests and a whole lot of finger strain.”
    • “It isn't until the final act of the story that you find out the reason for your ghostly tree cutting.”
  • gameplay14 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users citing poor mechanics, a frustrating interface, and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. While some players find enjoyment in its simplistic simulator aspects, many criticize it for being repetitive, poorly optimized, and lacking engaging content. Overall, the gameplay is described as a mix of terrible execution and occasional fun, leaving players divided on their experience.

    • “I would firstly like to mention that games such as this must captivate you with their simplest mechanics - and WCS13 does exactly this.”
    • “The gameplay is just something else; I've spent hours on this game and haven't been bored for a single second.”
    • “The gameplay is magnificent, truly amazing.”
    • “Very poor gameplay, tutorials that don't work, terrible interface, bugs, and a character that runs faster than a car.”
    • “The mechanics of the game require you to be in a particular spot to initiate action, and while your slowest walking speed is painfully slow, they seem to want you standing on a dime, because you just can't take a small enough step to be in the right place the first time.”
    • “The idea itself has potential if you're a simulator fan, but it's so horribly optimized and the gameplay is awful.”
  • stability11 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous bugs and glitches reported, including issues with graphics, vehicle behavior, and multiplayer functionality. Players experience frequent disruptions, such as characters and objects behaving erratically, making the game feel incomplete and frustrating. Overall, the consensus is that the game is plagued by stability problems, detracting significantly from the gameplay experience.

    • “Bugs and glitches are so obvious that they would need to actually hit you in the face to be more obvious... from horrible graphics to flying players and trees... and you need to press and hold the right mouse button to turn the camera?”
    • “There are a few glitches in the game like the multiplayer servers not working and the van I bought didn't spawn in.”
    • “It is nowhere near complete and is very buggy.”
  • humor8 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some players find the glitchy physics and absurd scenarios—like flying through the air after using a chainsaw—hilariously entertaining, others feel that the overall comedic value is lacking and more akin to a dark joke. The initial laughs may fade as repetitive gameplay sets in, leaving some players questioning the game's merit in delivering consistent humor. Overall, the humor is described as both amusing and frustrating, with moments of genuine hilarity overshadowed by a sense of absurdity.

    • “Initially, you run around with a chainsaw and cut down trees for money, and then use that money to buy tree cutters and log haulers. The physics can be glitchy at times, sending your player or car flying through the air, but you don't die from it, so it is not frustrating, but hilarious more than anything.”
    • “I spent a good few minutes laughing when I flew directly up into the air after using the chainsaw on a stationary vehicle.”
    • “What is freedom without the freedom to fail miserably and hilariously?”

    • “The catchy, upbeat songs will have you almost jumping out of your seat ready to dance!”
    • “Finally, a game where I can live out my dream to run aimlessly around a forest chopping down trees, pretending that I am the lumberjack from Hoodwinked and sing plenty of songs with the woodland critters!”
    • “2/10 for decent music.”
    • “That hope started to die away as I heard the hideous title music, stereotypical of most simulators.”

    • “I don't recommend it at all; there are many other sims out there that are much better, such as Farming Simulator 22.”
