Terroir

A fun business sim, but some players might be annoyed by the amount of randomness in weather

It's not polished enough. It has a great base, but it doesn't feel finished. For example controls could be better and quality of life features are missing like why can't we click on gui elements like ripeness to open it's information page?

I have only played an hour, which I needed a few restarts before realising the game needs to played at a slow pace to allow you to be forgiven for your mistakes. Just a tip for when starting, only use the land you provided until you start making money. Start with cabernet sav and perfect it before moving to other grapes. Enjoyable game to relax whilst playing. There is not much depth. This could be be a good series with more improvements / updates for future releases.

It's a very cool game that makes you use your brain and manage your economy so you don't run out of money and compete to get wine prizes. But menus are a pain in the ass! Analogous to getting kneed in the balls. E.g.: the review tips you get when your wine is not 5-star are misleading when you have fungal rot (decrease final rating by 1 star). Another case is NOT displaying the tips you got in your review when you open the wine log. Are you supposed to make an excel spreadsheet to just check the statistics your wine variety got on different years? This is outrageous. Another problem is that on wine competitions you get awarded based on stars and flavors, but the dropdown menus only list the wine name and year! In this case I have to close the award menu and go to my logs, check, and come back to the award menu. Very impractical. The 4th problem is the cellar animation. I don't want to wait for that stupid animation. I know it's cool, but I want the option to deactivate it cuz I'm losing my train of thought. Anyway, I think developers stopped caring a long time ago but these are my 2 cents about the game.

I actually got this game for free and already considered not getting it, but it's super fun. The game looks great; it plays well; it's just really great. I love playing this on my quiet hours at work and even though I keep going bankrupt, I try, try, try again. Because that's essentially what the game is - trial and error
