Hi. Thank you very much for this great game. I was very surprised. I feel like I play World of Warcraft. Seriously. If you will add map DLC's will be the best game. WOW!!! AMAZING!!! Thank you for your hard work.

Cleaning the Earth is incredibly satisfying. Can we fix the PS5 save glitch though? Played both PC and PS5. Love this game, but lost 14 hours on PS5.

Well... it's just... not good? The animations are clunky, controls are not very fluid and the whole game just feels VERY bare bones.

I like the game. One thing that I am still finding out is about planting the trees. I will continue to play because it is a relaxing and fun game to play.

Overall, besides a few bugs, this is a great game and I had a lot of fun! Super funny (Cornelius, my love <3), lighthearted and engaging.

Its a game, I played it for three hours. It was enjoyable. I recommend trying it for yourself. Typical story of where is grandpa/uncle/male figure? I must find him. There is a farm and animals. Robots to kill. Recycling. The message of Earth good, don't abandon it for another world.

Fun little cleaning/farming game with lots of creative elements, satisfying interface (I especially love the drill/ "vac pal", and the "super chicken"), plenty of cute critters, even a little light combat. The writing... needed some serious editing (many mechanical and grammatical errors, some writing was nearly incomprehensible -- poorly translated? -- and some of the writing was pretty trite... then again, I didn't purchase the game for its in-depth story.) Overall, I found the game relaxed and enjoyable. A few things the devs could have done better: 1) maps. When using the map to either see where one is, or to fast-travel, it would be great to have the location name come up while hovering the mouse over it. 2) Space. So many buildings, so many decorations, so many animals... NEED MORE SPACE on the farm! Would be easier if the landscaped weren't so picky about placement of items... and the critter "yards" weren't defined by annoying fence "stubs" that only get in the way of navigation. 3) Storage. Could we make larger chests, please? So we don't have to find space for more and more and more chests to store all the stuff we get while cleaning up the landscape/farming? Many of us who like this type of game are predisposed to hoarding resources... 4) Harvesting. Could we use the "Vac Pal" on animals as well as crops, for faster harvesting? It takes a long time to harvest each animal and tend to its needs... 5) Animals. It is really difficult to get into the right location to interact successfully with the three pets. It is also difficult to interact with the farmyard livestock animals while they constantly mill around. Maybe have them hold still while selected? 6) The water sprayer. OMG. So hard to aim it when "bathing" animals -- could you add a targeting reticle? 7) Could we have some indication of what percentage of an area is clean? Also, could all the areas we have fully cleaned transform, like the village does? It was very satisfying. (Can we get rid of the busted car/empty oil drums in the village, please?) Finally, a few small glitches I've run across in my game: 1) The olive trees don't produce olives (olives appear on the branches, and I've waited long enough for them to have grown fully). 2) The harvesting robots don't always do their job. Likewise the llamas don't always do their job -- it seems to be somewhat random, as far as I'm able to determine.

This feels like a port of a gamecube game I never played growing up. Super fried and addictive trash removal progression type game with cutesy farm vibes and a secret tunnel system also. Would recommend.

Disappointing. Redesigns from alpha/beta stages ended up leaving traces of cut content and map geography that feels as messy as what you're supposed to be cleaning. Both the desert and final boss (if you could call it that) couldn't feel more rushed, not to mention the houses in the mountain/tundra area that you can enter, clean, and hope in vain for an update to furnish. Was fun at first just cleaning stuff up, but revisions messed up the progression horribly 6/10 tripped too much at the finish line for me to endorse

This review is based on 100% completion and 27.1 hours of gameplay. [h1][b]Recommendation:[/b][/h1] Would I recommend this game? I would. While it’s nothing spectacular or something to get hyped about, I did enjoy my time with it. The game definitely has its issues with bugs and quality, but overall, for a more relaxed and chilled experience, it does deliver. If you’ve played games like [i]PowerWash Simulator[/i] or [i]Crime Scene Cleaner[/i], there’s a good chance you’ll have a good time with this one. In terms of gameplay, the mechanics are pretty straightforward—use your drill to break rubble, suck up rubbish piles, and clean up the environment. There’s also a bit of basic combat with robot spider-like enemies, which, while nothing groundbreaking, adds some variety so you don’t get bored just cleaning. The game also includes a farming system where you can grow crops, as well as some basic animal husbandry where you feed and care for animals. While all of these mechanics are very simple and nothing particularly noteworthy on their own, together they help keep the gameplay from becoming too monotonous. That said, the controls take a bit of getting used to, and some aspects of their optimisation could be improved. It feels a little clunky at times, and certain actions could have been made more intuitive. The graphics are decent—not amazing, but good enough to keep you engaged. It almost reminds me of [i]Halo: Combat Evolved[/i] back in the day in terms of style. The sound design and music are also solid, and I didn’t notice any major issues. However, if you plan to use the explosive chickens to clear things out, I strongly recommend lowering the SFX volume, as they are extremely loud. You’ll get some during the tutorial, so you can gauge the volume then. The narrative was surprisingly interesting. The main story does a good job of guiding you through the world and explaining things as you progress, and it’s easy to follow. I also really enjoyed some of the smaller side quests scattered throughout the game—they were entertaining, but I’ll leave you to discover those for yourself. Towards the end of the game, I ran into an issue with the sheep—this was my biggest problem. You only get five cures from the quest, which means you can only get five sheep. There was no way for me to obtain more cures naturally, which forced me to use console commands to give myself the extras I needed. While this wasn’t game-breaking, it was annoying. Another issue was object and environment clipping. For example, when placing a cowshed, the ground doesn’t automatically adjust, so the building might clip into the terrain or float above it. A simple grid function for object placement would have been a massive improvement. Overall, while the game isn’t anything spectacular, it was still an enjoyable experience. The base price is borderline acceptable, but I highly recommend waiting for a good sale instead of buying at full price. [h1][b]Achievements:[/b][/h1] [b][i] There is one semi-missable achievement, and I also ran into one bugged/glitched achievement.[/i][/b] The achievements in this game are very simple and easy to get. You’ll unlock most of them naturally by completing everything as you progress. The two you need to be aware of are:[list] [*]"Nightmare’s Kitchen" – Perform a cooking experiment. Get this early by making a dish without knowing the recipe first. If you unlock all recipes beforehand, you won’t be able to get this and will have to start a new game. [*]"Worsheepment" – Befriend 10 sheep. This achievement was bugged for me. You only get five cures from the quest, and since I had no way to obtain more, I had to use console commands. To fix this, open the console [i](\ key)[/i] and enter: [i]Give SheepCure 5[/i] This will give you the extra cures needed to befriend the remaining sheep.[/list] If you want to speed up 100% completion, console commands do not void achievements, so you can use them freely as long as you meet the unlock criteria. Again, all achievements are very easy, and you should have little to no trouble getting them.
