The Ranchers

The house building is a complete disaster. Terrible building mechanics. I don't know or care about the games kickstarter history but you have to do some mental flexing to justify the price of this. It starts off just good enough to get you past the 2 hour return window, then the game falls apart with the crafting and building. I could not finish the house because it would not register my roof was done. At that point I was soft locked and could not progress. I feel like I got ripped off. Painful.

[b]ความแปลกใหม่ที่ต้องใช้เวลาในการปรับตัว[/b] เกมนี้จะหนักไปทาง Life Sim มากกว่าเกมทำฟาร์มปกติ ถ้าคาดหวังว่าจะเหมือน Coral Island น่าจะไม่ชอบกัน ตัวเกมจะเป็นกึ่ง Open-world ที่เราจะได้ใช้ชีวิตแบบสมจริง และ[u]ต้องมาทำรายละเอียดทุกอย่างด้วยตัวเอง[/u] อย่างต้องคอยจ่ายค่าน้ำค่าไฟ บ้านเราก็ต้องมานั่งสร้างตั้งแต่พื้น กำแพง หลังคา ออกแบบบ้านเองทีละชิ้น ออกมาที่เมืองเราจะได้ขับรถทำอะไร ที่จะให้ความรู้สึกเหมือน GTA แบบมินิ ที่ขับชน ก่อโจรกรรมให้ติดดาวแล้ววิ่งหนีตำรวจ ทำงานอื่น ๆ ในเมืองอย่างขับแท็กซี่ได้ แต่ว่าการควบคุมรถของเรานั้นยาก แถมต้องคอยซ่อมรถ เติมน้ำมัน แล้วไม่มีวาร์ปให้นอกจากในเควส [u]เกมก็เลยคืบหน้าได้ช้า[/u]จากที่ต้องมานั่งขับรถ กับพลังงานที่ต้องใช้ทำรายละเอียดเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ เหมาะสำหรับคนที่อยากจะค่อย ๆ ใช้เวลากับเกม ดำเนินชีวิตโดยที่ไม่รีบร้อนให้ตัวเราค่อย ๆ เติบโตซะมากกว่าครับ [b]เดี๋ยวไว้เล่นต่อไปสักพักแล้วจะมาทำคลิปสรุปให้เห็นอีกทีนะครับ[/b]

The game feels very constrained! This will be my last time buying something early access! May steam should change there policy where early access games con not charge for the game! kind of like a demo! or trial run! I try to always give it time to grow on me but that always bites me in the but so the loss of revenue will begin in this house hold we are just not spending money in good faith any longer we bought 2 copies and at this time well we hate the game lol! Game does not feel like a game granted its early access but it massively lacking enjoyment! Hopefully it get better.

I just harvested my crops and finished building a house then got ready to sleep for the night when it happened. I lost internet connection. Not my connection, but the games connection disconnected. I lost ALL the progress that I did for the day and now have to do it all over again. I know the game is in early release right now, but this is rediculous. This is like the third or fourth time it happened within just a couple hours of play. Hoping this gets repaired soon, but for now I say save your money and buy something else until a later update happens.

I like this game, however I can not give it a positive review at the moment for two reasons. 1) You can not change the controls, the current controls from my perspective are just awkward. 2) I have come across a few bugs that stop the story from progressing, especially around house building

After 4.5 years on my Wishlist I think it needs another 4.5 years in development before it is worth playing. Even No Man's Sky launched in a better shape than The Ranchers. It is unfortunate, and I feel sorry for the Dev(s) but I feel they launched into early access some years too early. the viewing angle is just horrible, the money goes down far too quickly. The 'Dialogue' is all typed out in real-time so long dialogues from NPC's use up the majority of the game day. You character's Energy runs out so quickly you find yourself having to quit the day and sleep til the next day at 9am in the morning - seriously, it's THAT BAD! If you are wondering if this might be like 'My Time in Sandrock' or 'Portia' it is NOT - not even close. In those games there was a way to more easily increaseand manage your energy and you had a lot more energy to star with. Money lasts only a few days yet the ability to grow food takes much longer and costs money and there is a VERY high probability you will lose the whole crop to birds before you manage to grow the food you so desperately need to survive. It's like playing The SIms 1 with a much more restricted view, with no food and Souls Like game rules. It is far from a 'cozy' game. I will revisit this game every now and again and update my review if it warrants it.

Unfinnished pre-alpa looking, quick cash grab game.

I have been following and anxiously awaiting the release of this game for a long time. I am not disappointed! While there are some quirks and bugs, and some features are not yet available, it is to be expected in a game that has just been released and is in early access. However, quirks and all, they do not affect the enjoyment of playing the game. I know the devs are dedicated and can not wait for the updates when the additional features are available.
