Cattle Country

It feels like the devs gave up on this game. Or rather, they only made this game to put their foot in the farming simulator genre and then left it at that. The game is beautiful and the music is nice, but it's pretty bare bones. The characters are not fleshed out, their lines are repetitive and their cutscenes are generic and lack any sort of sparkle. There's a lot of QOL features that need to be added, because there's no guide that helps with romancing characters or figuring out how to progress in the game further. There's a lot of features like shooting a gun, that they don't even tell you how to do. The devs don't bother updating the game AT ALL, that's content updates and patches, so the game has a lot of bugs that are ridiculously easy to find. It's all around disappointing how they've treated this game. In the discord, they ignore people's complaints about bugs and don't answer their questions, like they forgot this game exists. Yes, it's pretty to look at, but it gets boring and repetitive after some hours. Sadly, pretty visuals isn't enough to make a good game, Playtonic, do better.

Literally TL;DR: - no character stats or menu, no perks, no skills, almost no nothing except craftables to soften the grind, just mining/farming/etc class exp & recipes - horrible handling of tools, especially watering can and fishing rod (fishing in general is extremely slow and clumsy) --- that shootout minigame / bandit encounter is terrible and unnecessarily forced, and in the surface world you can't just aim at bandits like you can shoot at wild game or 'monsters' in the mines - spawned rocks/trees/objects may block you on your own farm while your path-making/clearing tool (such as pickaxe) is at blacksmith's -- elevators only cover a very short distance, not 300+ blocks down, no point in building/crafting them (silver and gold ore are too time-consuming to obtain) - can't freely shoot while climbing ladders - mines are actually boring, no extreme or dangerous mobs there - no cosmetics such as pure red hair --- save system that doesn't let you save manually, or save on exit, or auto-save during transitions/moving to new areas, also seems like there is no backup save in the saves folder either - progression seems broken or far too conditional, no town projects for a long while now, for instance, while at the same time almost got to the deepest reaches of the mine w/o any probs (around 500+ floor) right after the start / (2nd season / summer) - no accurate relationship points gains or stats - can't customise pets (cat/dog)? - far too few inventory slots (esp for deep mining), 3 rows/36 slots is nothing - useless mats dropping in the mines like the regular wood which can be obtained everywhere, just to take a slot for the 100th time for no reason at all - no way to lock some slots/the toolbar for tools only - some resources are lost after falling into water, no biggie - moving and placing have different tiles available, like on the Rivers map (the northwesternmost corner) - buying items 1 by 1 is a bad joke when you just want to buy 100 bullets in bulk for 1100 gold quickly - bad regional pricing - few localisations/translations - no key rebinds - and more annoyances... + (mines) platforming that changes the view, for a breath of fresh air +++ mood, visuals, soundtrack + money-wise/earnings-wise, balanced enough + nice rewards for quests Verdict: 4+/10.

I've played through one year in this game and I'm loving it so far. I've not encountered any bugs at all - just the occasional quest that doesn't match with what the NPC said. Like Mabel said to raise 8 cows, but my journal said 4. Not a big deal as I'm always checking my quests in the journal anyway. Other reviews claiming the game is unplayable without a guide - I haven't used any guides at all. The NPC screen gives so much info. It shows all their liked & loved items for romance. It shows you if you have a heart event with them and tells you where it is. It even lets you know if the heart event won't trigger in certain seasons. The game is fully released, so complaints about it being abandoned make no sense. It's a completed game. It took me over 50 hours of playtime just to finish one year, so there's plenty of content in the game. I still have a few characters to max friendship with, a couple town projects to finish up, and need to find the last several fish for the town hall. I definitely recommend this game. It's way more polished and enjoyable than a lot of other indie farming games out there. And if you want to see some gameplay before you purchase there's a guy on YT with a long playlist showcasing this game. He does a brilliant job of showing how fun this game is.

Really fun farming sim. Really love that it takes place in the wildwest. The characters are quite loveable. The cutscenes are pretty good so far. Though I do wish there was a bit more interactions/more cutscenes since it does get a bit repetitive their dialogue, since they say the same thing everyday in town. Another thing that would be a cool fix, is when you go out in town and you speak to the person you married they awknowledge you in some way, it only happens in the farm and there seems to have like 2 sprites of the character roaming around, one in town, one in the farm. But that doesn't ruin the game or anything. I do for sure recommend this game, the mining is great, I LOVE HUNTING, love the bandit attacks, the seasonal events are pretty decent. I always like a game where we fix up a town, which was also unexpected when I first bought this. I look forward to what else this game can bring. Especially since this is one of those games where your character tries to build a sense of community in a small wild west town. ( Also would love a deputy job, since I know theres a mail sorting one :) or more similar jobs added - I think it would be a cool touch. )

DONT BUY!!!!!! there have been no updates sinds 31 oct 2025. but the game is not finished. and i have a feeling it will never be finished. dialoog with NPC's is repetative, there are quite a few bugs, and the game is stilll rough around it's edges. by now i regret buying this game, it seemed like a promising game, but with the lack of updates and bug fixes is not worth the € 18.99 only buy in a sale if you want to try the game.

YEEEEHAAAAW! Loved this game from the very beggining. Love the classic pixel-art style, cozy feeling, plenty of things to do and many more that i cannot count. Stardew younger brother went on wild west. But tbh it was ARHTUR MORGAN who BOUGHT ME. <3

This is an amazing game! It has mining, hunting, farming, relationships, and just so many very cool details that make this game endearing. You are in the wild west and there are some very cool conversations with the characters who are all like you just trying to survive out here in the wild. For those who prefer more chill game play you can turn off enemies in your settings. I got shot and robbed at one point and decided to try that out. Totally chill!

so far so good! its giving little house on the prairie had a baby with stardew valley vibes. i could honestly see this game having a following near into the future. I really like that you are able to butcher animals, hunt, and the mining mechanics. I love the art style. it feels so cozy! I would love it if this game were to continue to receive more updates in the future! the minigames are also fun :)
