Farmer's Life: Prologue

"Farmer's Life: Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Farmer's Life", a somewhat insincere "simulator" game a little more like "My Summer Car" but with a destitute farm, alcoholism and so on... intended somewhat to succeed on the "joke" factor than from quality gameplay development and compelling game loops and narrative. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not "Farmer's Life", it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Farmer's Life: Prologue" too. The objective of this advertisement is to get you to pay a whopping $20 USD to buy the full product... and because it's a joke game that's being advertised, I don't recommend you do that, either. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. 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. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. 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 behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

这是啥中文啊？还不如英文，中文里面全部都是格子，完全没翻译啊。

Je n'ai malheureusement pas pris de plaisir a jouer à ce prologue. Il ne m'a pas donné envie d'essayer le jeu quand il sortira. J'ai eu quelque lag et le prologue ne nous donne même pas eu l'occasion de planter quelque chose... un peu l'imite. Je souhaite tout de même bon courage au développeur.

Игра Farmer's Life: Prologue - это затягивающая, хоть и короткая, возможность окунуться в суровую жизнь польского фермера. Несмотря на альфа-версию, механики работы на земле и взаимодействия с окружением (сбор ресурсов, крафт, торговля) достаточно хорошо реализованы и вызывают интерес. Графика хоть и не поражает воображение, но создает атмосферу сельской местности. Основной акцент сделан на выживание и планирование: нужно следить за голодом, усталостью, а также успевать вовремя засеять поля, собрать урожай и продать его. Интересно выполнены поломки инструментов и необходимость поддерживать свое хозяйство в порядке. Однако, стоит отметить наличие багов, которые могут помешать прохождению. Prologue, как и следует из названия, обрывается достаточно быстро, оставляя желание увидеть полную версию. Тем не менее, проект демонстрирует большой потенциал и дает представление о том, что нас ждет в Farmer's Life. Рекомендую попробовать, если вас привлекают симуляторы фермерской жизни с элементами выживания.
