Not recommended Sep 15, 2026
I backed the Kickstarter and was extremely excited for this project to come to life. Unfortunately what I've seen for a long time is a lot of hostility, silence and empty promises being made. I was hoping after playing Alpha that the early access would have had much more content... But it literally is the exact same build. Knowing now that the developer is now pushing promised mechanics further back or they're just disappearing leaves very little hope that this game will actually include all that was stated on the Kickstarter. Basically sold on a lie and I can't recommend this game.

The time I spent playing Ranchers was filled with fustration, confusion, and was simply not fun. This game needs a serious quality of life update ASAP. Advice to dev add no new features. Focus on QOL.

Been playing this game since day 1 on kickstarter, its gone through so many changes and the team have put so much effort into both this and the community they built on discord. Highly recommend this game, its this strange mix of GTA and farming sim its just an incredible new idea on your typical farming sim game.

Honestly I really like this game. I understand it's still in development and I definitely think there's things that could be added. Like I'm super excited for the mining update and what that brings to the game. I'm upset so many people have downvoted the game simply for being in early access. I don't really write reviews for games, but I'm taking the time to write this one because I think the criticism is unfair. I like the police aspect and the mix between GTA and farming simulator. I think it's different and fun and adds a level to my cozy farming games that isn't usually there (because... yeah cozy games by definition don't have that), but I like the fact that it's drones and not cop cars chasing you. It's silly and fun, and I'm excited for what the next major update brings.

The bad reviews are from whiny cry babies. I played 30ish hours in the demo. I liked it even more when I realized I could steal cop cars and run from the law. This game may not be finished but it has the bones. Play the demo. Then. If you don't want an EA game, wait for the 1.0 to release. I bought a copy for me and my wife. This is like Stardew GTA.
