Hillshade Farm

There's a lot of bugs but the developer is incredibly responsive, rolling out patches faster than I've ever seen. The graphics are amazing, really well done, there's a lot of content. It's the interactions and game play that mostly need work but it is progressing and I'm happy to give it a go, eventually I suspect this this will be an amazing game, well worth the price tag in any case. Don't expect perfection but gradual progress towards it and you won't be disappointed.

If you have issues with issues you probably want to wait on this one for now. Little things like having finished quests suddenly become partially undone, so you need to re-finish them. To larger things like disconnecting an expensive piece of equipment from your tractor only to have it disappear forever. I'd wear out my keyboard if I'd try and list all the issues I've run into so far. No offense to the devs, but it might be a bit of a stretch to call this early access, and I'm writing this review after their planned release date. If you read through their early access comments they have some pretty lofty goals with an unrealistic timeline. So if you are going to purchase this game go into it with your eyes open, don't get your panties in a bind, and cut the devs some slack. They are probably new. One last warning: Don't run over the neighbor's cat! (Not my fault, it ran behind my truck as I was trying to turn around.) It's not that the neighbors will get mad at you, you might get your truck stuck on top of the cat.

This game is great! Awesome graphics, really nice music, questing and community involvement. Yes, the game is in early access, and there are a bunch of glitches and bugs, but the dev provides multiple updates per day, and answers all questions in the Community chat in Steam. I love playing this game, and I love the support. I highly recommend it!!

EDIT 2 -- It's been close to 20 days after release and not a single day the developer has missed giving updates. Two updates daily fixing bugs and now they have added a bunch of new stuff/machines!! I don't know what to say but this is really a behaviour of a developer that we players should respect. Most of the bugs are solved now and a bigger content update is upcoming.. I feel very happy to support this dev. They seems to be very passionable about the game. EDIT 1 -- Lots of bugs are fixed now. Lots of QOLs have been added and the dev actually listens to the community. They already implemented three of the requests I asked for. I'm so thankful about it.. This game is getting mixed review only because it's a bit complicated. But there's one gem of a game is hidden behind all the EA bugs. So the first thing I say is that please give this dev a chance. They've created a game that offers a lot of possibilities and all the hustle of a busy farm life. Some players are unhappy because this game doesn't offer MP or workers yet. But really, does every single game needs to have MP? Do you always need a worker to manage chores? Some responsibilities we must carry alone. Many have complained about game lags but thankfully I haven't experienced any lag or fps drop yet. I'm not on a super pc even. I've a gaming laptop with 6gb of rtx 3050 and 24 gb of RAM with a 12th gen i5 processor. And I haven't even turned on FSR . I'm on either TAA or TSR. I wish the game had DLSS but even without that my GPU is utilising most of it and the temp. is average as well. So I really don't know what the lags others are experiencing with a much better pc than mine.. I'd say don't play the game on epic settings. Play on high settings and you should be free of lags. Quick tip- if you've played the demo, then clear any demo save files from your SSD manually and if possible unintsall the game for once, and again reinstall it fresh. This will solve a lot of bugs. Game offerings -- This farming game is work of a solo dev so a lot of improvements they are adding daily but it already offers all the hustle of an abandoned ranch or a big farm should have for an alone person(the player). You gotta clean and clear weeds to recover fertile soil, you must keep your machines full of gasolines, sprinklers full of water, you must use the cleaned weeds and dry grasees to make compst that will be back to plants as fertilizer, you gotta tend your animals and must keep an eye for predators that will normally try to harm the animals (like a fox will try to steal chickens), you get to make and sell farm fresh products, or you can sell your harvests straight. You will tend greenhouse, you will cut trees down, you will fish, you will dig and mine and there's some more features which are upcoming.. Some developers really deserve support from us. What do you say??

i just got this game few days ago and i get it early access but....DONT NOT BUY YET!! it has to many buys right now every time u log out of the game all ur animals are GONE i have had to buy animals over and over again the game crashes randomly i been selling fruits and making food dishes just to make money in the game i finally get enough money to buy a tractor i buy it and the game tells me i don't own one the trees glitch also i will not be playing this game until half the bugs are fixed its very frustrating...save ur money for now during the time i did play this game i enjoyed it but right now there is WAY TO MANY BUGS

The game is in early access but the updates and fixes are daily! In just a few days the game grew significantly and I am so happy with the progress. It really is a wonderful chillout game, it's engaging and beautiful visually too. You can always seek help on the discord server if you need anything. I will keep playing and relaxing while expanding my cute farm <3 totally recommend!

Finally a new farming game that is unique! I loved what i played so far, biggest points i noticed are the STUNNING graphics, very smooth performance and the depth of things like the plant systems and animal details. With more work this could be one of my favorite farming sims! Definitely recommend!
