Total waste of money. All of the mechanics available seem unfinished and delivered "in a rush", which is sarcastically impressive given that it's the nth title under the FS brand. To summarize:
1. AI workers can't get the job done on fields with irregular shapes. Also, forget about getting their help when there is a fence or a tree nearby. At least the game tells you that they're stuck... oh wait, it doesn't; they'll just keep climbing the tree;
2. You are paying one-third of an AAA game's cost for almost no content. Unless you belong to this entire "realism!!!111!one!!" Ursus-lovers cult, you'd be surprised that such a title has relied on and invested in the same crops since the first released version and still gets as many positive reviews. Sugar cane? Rice? Grapes? You'd better stick with the one and only vehicle in the original game...
3. ...unless you want to dive into the modding community guarded by all these old-equipment fanatics. At least they do the work that should have been done by the studio itself. The developers genuinely sell you just a platform with a faulty engine full of bugs.
4. It would be fair if they argued against the above, but they consciously added the "reset vehicle" function to the base game, knowing that in a lot of scenarios your equipment just... breaks without any specific reason.
5. Did I mention they promise you realism? Sure, unless you check the prices and the value you get from the corresponding equipment. You'd better save money to afford the potato planter with all of its modern features that simply do not exist in the game.
6. You're saving for the aforementioned planter, so you don't want to waste money on a better tractor? It's fine, just accept any contract and use the borrowed vehicle forever. Sure, you won't be able to use the attached equipment, but you can always attach yours.
7. Feed the animals; otherwise, they won't survive. Just kidding, they can be kept with 0% health for ages without any consequences. You call that family friendly? Is keeping the animals hungry yet alive giving a good example of how to care for living creatures?
8. Cultivate, seed, fertilize, roll and use the weeder (in that order - yes, you can use the weeder when nothing has risen from the ground yet) in the same month, and you'll be golden. Full immersion, except not.
9. Tired of realism? Take loans. Lots of loans. The interest rates are piffling.
I could spend a few hours listing all the things that make the price even more unreasonable, but it all boils down to one expression (you can call it a warning if you want) - the developers should cowboy up, start treating the player base seriously, and invest in QA. You're lying to people and the gamers are not stupid. They notice.
