This game is deep. I thought it was a simple little farming sim. I was waaaaayyyy wrong. There is tons to do and a whole lotta depth. I finally got the graphics set just perfect, so it looks great. I was farming, got my tractor, working on getting married; thought that I was over 50% done with it. Turns out, after watching some videos, I am barely 8% into this game.

Talk about value for you money. I don't even care if they work on this game anymore, there is plenty do to do for your $17, or whatever you get it for. I bought games for $40, they had about 8 hours of playtime, and nobody b*tched about it. I see a game like this with tons of content, hours of playtime, and people whining about what they do with their money. I don't even care what they do with the money I gave them, they released a really fun sim with over 40 hours of playtime. What more can you ask for with $17?

The only thing I am really bothered with are the days. Each day is a month? I had to use the cheats to slow the days down a bit. I think they should come back to the board with that and make it so every 10 days is a month, especially if they are going by that fast. I don't understand why they make it that way, they could just make it 1 to 1 on the days, and then every 5 min equals an hour. I believe the game would move along just fine if you could play out the months day by day. Sometimes it takes a bit to do a mission and then all of a sudden winter is here. Kinda sucks sometimes. I would like an option to make it day by day, or just an option to set it at my pace. Would make this sim almost perfect.

Oh yeah the other thing is the alcoholism. I have a family of alcoholics, and if 2 months go by without a drink, they are pretty much cured (until they have a drink of course, most fall back off the horse). My point is, they don't sit there and cry about it, not shutting up about it, after 2 months. I haven't given him a drink in 7 months and he still babbles about it. Why? This should be done with.

Sure, it's not the prettiest game out there. Sure, it has some glitches. Sure, the main character's voice is borderline annoying. But it's soooo... much... fun. Great quirky life sim. 5 Thumbs.

great game, would recommend to friends.
