Finally well done sim immersive farming

Reading the other review from James I have to step in to clear obvious things out. Playing several other farming simulators with zero or terrible story and NPCs including ...dynasty games I can say after playing a few in game years this is finally an immersive sim with well done NPCs and good (real life) writing. James obviously didn't even make it past the very first main objective to get rid of alcoholism in the first place which takes not that much in-game time. Economy is finally not game-y but realistic, meaning realistic prices and a hard start for someone who almost sold the whole farm for alcohol. Luckily there's a lot of junk on your property to sell to tinkerer on marketplace. This and a hunting rifle is your first income to buy a rooster to increase the population of chickens, then you can afford a partner for your piggy pal to reproduce... then a cow to save on that milk and butter. Wildlife is actually realistic, you need to be extremely stealthy to get close enough to crouch and aim for a while to minimize spread and boom - headshot! Single shot needed when you realize missing your target doesn't mean "sponge-y". There are so many activities that are so well done when it comes to balancing realism and fun be it the best cooking mechanism I've seen in a game, socializing in a very eastern-european rural way for year 1945, distilling alcohol, manual labor on the field in the correct realistic order, mowing, drying, hoeing, sowing, weeding out, harvesting and fertilizing the used land and repeat. Going from the very bottom of one-man show to utilizing draft animals, repairing your tractor and using better mechanization and eventually getting a wife. Now graphics (lighting and shading), interface and controls (no controller support) are all very VERY weak points of this game but I am willing to ignore that as this is finally well done 3D immsim of a farmer's life. Though time is passing double the speed I'd like but hey, I may give a try to make a mod.

The Best Alcoholic Farmer Simulator

Warning: Even though farming is in the name, you live a life also. You make booze to sell. You roll up cigarettes to sell or smoke with your potential friends. Sure, you farm, but there's much more than that in the game. You have quests. You have contracts. You make food that you feed yourself or other people who you want to be your friend. You even have some survival mechanism. You also are depressed during winter and are also trying to be a functional alcoholic who gain super power from drinking all the moonshine you made. If all of this sounds appealing, give this game a go.

Simple yet unique

I'm from Poland so I may have different approach since this game feels... "close" to me. I mean I can relate, I can still remember similar farms from my childhood, remember stories from my grandma... so it is another "layer" for me I may add an additional point "in plus". Overall - pretty nice! Not the best, not outstanding, not optimized too well, repetetive after some time, yet... just has this "I'll just finish this one more thing and am going to sleep" factor. I don't play many games of this kind so I can't really tell you if it's better/worse than something else, can't really compare the mechanics but one thing I know for sure: the unique setting, simple mechanics but in quite a volume, slow-paced gameplay which can sometimes surpise us with "oh daaang, I'm late to do this, this and that!" and this whole rural atmoshpere of a Polish village in that times - it all creates a mixture that keeps you sticked to the screen for hours and hours. We have hard work, blique surroundings, inhospitable household (at least at the beginning), unfavorable neighbours, depressing, almost melancholic story of main protagonist combined with challanges, farm management, making decisions which animal to have (no, you won't be able to afford all of them at once from start), which structures to build, crazy races utilizing tractor, horse, bull, your own pet piggy or my favourite bike race with a local priest xD we have it all! We are not left alone - there are some guidelines, tutorials, we know what and how to do. But it's our decision how to perform. Hunting? Great! But watch your rifle AND your ammo. Skinning animals - great! You got meat and furs, splendid! But it takes time. Wood? You can buy it but why when you can chop and prepare it yourself? But again - it takes time. Tractor and additional utilities to help you grow crops more efficient? Sure thing! But it costs a lot... you need to think, make decisions and plan accordingly. It's not like that you gonna starve to death as long as you have a water on stove and couple of chickens to lay eggs, however! Surviving isn't thriving! ;) You know you can do better and you just keep going - I think this is the whole "magic" of this game. Definitely an average title, yet at the same time definitely an underrated gem.

A story about redemption

I thought when first starting this game that it was a story about despair, but after playing I found it is in fact a story about redemption. It has dark moments, and you can do some dark and wacky stuff, but ultimately it gives you the opportunity to take a character from the darkest moments of his life to build a better future for himself and the entire community.

Tutorial is terrible

Button mapping is totally off, you have to hunt for the correct trigger, so you get stuck often, this is boring
