About
Tired of life in the big city? Escape to an American ranch. In this ranch life simulator, you’ll have to find your place in a rural and sometimes unforgiving world.
You can keep eating fast food like before, or start growing healthy vegetables to prepare your own meals. Cook freshly caught fish and enjoy a glass of fresh milk. You’ll have access to a wide variety of recipes with different levels of complexity. Prepare your meals in the kitchen, on the grill, or over a campfire.
Plant your favorite vegetables in garden beds or in a greenhouse. Create beautiful garden arrangements using flowers, vegetables, and fruit. Grow, water, and harvest your crops. Pick apples in the orchard and plant your favorite flowers along the path. Mow the grass yourself or get help from living lawnmowers, such as cows.
The ranch you purchase will need plenty of repairs. Patch the holes in the roof, fill the cracks in the walls, and paint the rooms in colors of your choice. Once you can afford it, replace the furniture, redesign the interior, and buy decorations for the fireplace or even potted plants.
Use the money you earn to expand your workshop. Buy additional tools and equipment. Build increasingly complex structures from boards you cut yourself. Where will you begin? With a bookcase, a fence around the pasture, or perhaps a birdhouse?
Restore a forgotten car and use it to travel into town. Give it a new paint job, repair the engine, replace the tires, and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the finished result.
Ride an ATV along nearby forest trails, walk through the woods gathering mushrooms, or take photographs of the animals you encounter. Explore your vast ranch on horseback. Visit the shooting range, go fishing, light a campfire, or have a barbecue in the nearby gazebo.
Eat well, get enough sleep, avoid overworking yourself, and enjoy the many available activities! Learn to play the harmonica, beat your personal records, and take on new challenges.
Raise and sell animals, including cows and chickens. Feed them with animal feed or let them graze in the pastures, and make sure they always have access to water. Breed cows, collect eggs, and raise livestock for sale. Put your heart into caring for them. Petting is highly encouraged!
Should you decide to get a dog, you won’t regret it. Take care of your loyal companion and let it help with your work by herding animals into the pastures. You can also play fetch together.
Relax with Rancher: A New Life!

The gameplay is relaxing. Some is tedious, but it's really not annoying unless you lose track of time irl while baking cheesecake because you're zoned out on hitting nails in game. That was almost a ♥♥♥♥♥♥' disaster. If you're looking for a game that has potential to grow more, but still has more than enough to showcase it in early access, then go for it. Give it a try. There's far worse early access games out there with way less to do. If you have a problem with playing too many simulation games like I do, you'll definitely find some familiar mechanics with a much more appealing look, but there's a lot of their own touch too. I'm not far in and already heavily enjoying it for winding down at the end of the day of a near cheesecake disaster. I have absolutely zero lag issues. It's day one of early access, meaning I expected there to be lag, but none. Perhaps if you have issues with a game in early access, you could click the box that says "attach pc specs to this review", and the developer could help you figure out your issue better, or contact them through their support. Also, make sure you're maintaining your computers, because if you're not taking care of your ♥♥♥♥, it doesn't matter what your specs are.

Player it at release. For now I cannot recommend it. With a ton of hot fixes and patches? I could and most definetly would! The game has insane potential and I love the details. But it is a buggy mess rn. No autosave, no working sounds (please fix the chainsaw. It's not part of any sound option and it's LOUD!! Also it's not working...) The idea is great, the world looks stunning, the type of gameplay is awesome. I really had fun while playing. So, if your willing to wait, go for it. But for now this game is not in accaptable state for selling and especially not for this price. Early Access is not an excuse for publishing a game that does not work. And please fix the difference between the missiontext on tablet and screen while playing. I ended up making screenshots because half the info for any mission was missing in the screen menu xD I don't know about the grafics some people warn about. Mine worked fine. I only had to set from ultra to high and the game was still amazing to look at. All in all: VERY promising game and great Idea. I looked for a game like this and was not disappointed. But the price and the state of release do not add up. If you want to buy this game, wait for the reviews to get better. I'm gonna edit my review once it's playable and okay for the price
there are a lot of mishaps in this game but its in early access and what makes it greater is the fact that the devs are on top of EVERYTHING rolling out patches to help improve the game and fix minor mishaps. But people need to be helpful and proactive and actually voice the bugs on their discord so they know what needs addressed... just giving a negative review and bashing them doesn't help them to create a game and fix things. KUDOS to the DEVS you're on top of this and its a GREAT GAME!
cluncky ui, horrible quest mechanism, cant move stuff had to pack it and unpack it
I have now played this game for 5 hours, at the start it didn't go that well for the bugs. But after the first update that was all fixed and now it is very good to play, so far as expected. I would recommend it at least so far! I don't have issues with the game at all, no lag nothing.
Game itself is fine. Controller support is the deal‑breaker. Playtime: 1 hour The core game runs fine. Graphics are what I expected, gameplay is stable, movement needs some tuning, but nothing game‑breaking. No crashes, no freezes, and saves/load work without issues. As an early‑access foundation, it’s solid. The problem is the controller support — it’s not usable. Even with Steam Input, the controls are inconsistent. The B button opens the menu and also acts as the action button, and sometimes it doesn’t respond at all. You end up switching between controller and keyboard just to play. I can’t play it the way it is. If you rely on a controller, this isn’t ready. Controller support is the deal‑breaker here. Conclusion: The game itself shows promise, but until the controller issues are fixed, it’s not playable for controller‑first players. Worth keeping an eye on, but not worth diving into yet.
I fully understand that this is an early access game but honestly it is not ready even for early access - for instance stacking items together in your inventory makes them dissapear, i hope devs can make it work cause it has a lot of potential
アーリーアクセス開始時点で購入しました。 体験版を遊んで面白かったことと、1,500円という価格なら今後の開発への支援も含めて十分納得できると思ったのが購入理由です。 実際に5時間ほど遊んでみても、ゲーム自体は普通に面白いです。 特に気に入っているのが、作業をかなり細かく行うところ。 例えば鳥の巣箱ひとつ作るにも、板を取り付け、釘を打ち、扉を付け、蝶番を取り付ける、といった工程があります。 こういった部分を「面倒」と感じる人もいると思いますが、個人的にはむしろ好きです。クリック一つで完成するよりも、自分で牧場を修理したり物を作ったりしている実感があります。 まだ実装されていない機能も多いですが、基本的な作業そのものに時間がかかるため、現時点ではそれほどボリューム不足とも感じていません。 一方で、ゲームの内容ではなくUI・UX面でストレスを感じるところがかなりあります。 ・全体的に説明が少なく、伐採など基本的な操作でも方法が分かりにくい ・家の外壁塗装で「43/44」まで進んでも、残り1か所がどこなのか分からない。実際には該当箇所を見つけていたものの通常の位置から反応せず、ジャンプしながら塗ることでようやく完了した ・タスクを自分でピン留めしていても、新しいタスクが発生すると自動的にそちらへ切り替わってしまう。手動でピン留めしたタスクは、自分で解除するまで固定してほしい ・建物の修理モード中に視点を自由に動かせない。画面外に修理箇所がある場合、一度修理モードを解除し、立ち位置を変えて再び対象を指定する必要がある ・セーブがESCメニュー内にあることが分かりにくい。アーリーアクセスという性質上フリーズ等も考えられるため、オートセーブやセーブについての案内があると安心 ・現状では道路を走る車や歩いている人などがほとんど見られず、世界に少し寂しさを感じる。今後NPCや交通などが追加され、生活感が増えることに期待したい 特に、「作業に手間がかかること」と「操作が不便なこと」は別だと思っています。 巣箱を一工程ずつ組み立てるような手間は、このゲームならではの魅力なので残してほしいです。 その一方で、目的の場所が分からない、カメラを動かせない、選択したタスクが勝手に切り替わる、といった部分はゲームの面白さとは直接関係のないストレスなので、今後改善されるとうれしいです。 現状のまま正式版になったら少し厳しい評価になると思いますが、1,500円のアーリーアクセスとして考えれば個人的には十分満足しています。 基本となるゲーム部分がつまらないのではなく、「ここが遊びやすくなればもっと面白くなるのに」と感じるところが多い作品です。 今後のアップデートに期待しています。
Very Quick Money Grab just to install Ransomware on your computer and does'nt care Don't Buy this Game I found THIS IS ILLEGAL TO DO >> >> ( Ransomeware in the Rancher: A new life exe ) as i was half way through the gameplay not recommended until this is fixed and then maybe just think about it on any products of games ITS IN THE RANCHER EXE NOT THE GARBAGE >>>FAKE EXCUSE This was just a false positive DOES NOT EXIST AND DILUSHIONAL>>>>A delusion is a fixed, false belief that a person holds onto strongly, even when clear facts show it is not true
Plein de chose à dire Pour commencer c'est un jeu très prometteur avec de nombreuses fonctionnalités très sympa et d'autres arriverons encore. C'est un jeu unique auquel j'ai joué et j'attends les prochaine mises à jours avec impatience. D'une manière globale, je jour de sa sortie, beaucoup de petits bugs et pas de multijoueur pour l'instant certes mais le jeu est jouable. Le problème d'optimisation est en train d'être corrigé, et pour avoir signalé des bugs je peux assurer que l'équipe fait en sorte de les résoudre rapidement, c'est déjà le 3ème correctif 6h après la sortie du jeu Il ne faut pas oublier que le studio est indépendant, et le jeu mérite sa chance, il sera encore meilleurs dans les mois à venir ----------- English version : So much to say First off, this is a very promising game with lots of cool features, and more are still on the way. It’s a unique game—I’ve played it—and I’m eagerly awaiting the next updates. Overall, on the day it was released, there were a lot of minor bugs and no multiplayer yet, but the game is still playable. The optimization issue is currently being fixed, and having reported some bugs myself, I can assure you that the team is working hard to resolve them quickly—this is already the third patch, just six hours after the game’s release. We shouldn’t forget that this is an indie studio, and the game deserves a chance; it will only get better in the coming months.
