60 of 253 · most liked firstGiving a negative review because you guys are ridiculous, trying to sell stuff in DLC that should be part of the base game! Things that should be a natural part of the gameplay are being sold separately as DLC. That whole “official guide” is basically the basics: crops, animals, machinery, neighbors, tips and tricks stuff we should have in the game from the start, not pay extra for. And the cooking recipes? In the first game, you could buy them directly from an in-game vendor, but now they’ve…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Save your money and don't buy this. This is just a new map for Farmer Dynasty 1 / Lumberjack Dynasty, everything else is the same. The same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ outdated engine, same fps issue's, same extreme graphical glitches and flikkering constantly, same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ assets, same music, same gameplay loop (only with less content). They haven't even tried to improve anything, instead they hired someone to reply to all the negative Steam reviews. Miss me with the early access copeium sniffers BS, if you ask…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can not recommend this game. First off don't be sucked into buying the guide. It is NOT a guide that you can open up and look through it is inside the game as basically a tutorial. Which SHOULD be part of the base game. It isn't very good and still leaves you wondering what you are actually supposed to be doing. The paying for the basic recipes inside of the game is pretty awful too. The mechanics are clunky and it feels over all still very unpolished even for an early access game especially…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lets start with Cons -It is exactly the same as Farmers Dynasty 1. Same sounds, graphics, vehicles, crops, greenhouse plants. -I have not noticed anything at all that is improved -I cant understand what they have building for months. A new map - sure. Content... same Pro's - If you have not played the original - this is good. I loved the first but its now just boring Recommendation: Load up the original. Delete your save. Start again. Tell yourself its Farmer Dynasty 2. The only difference…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hugely disappointed with this forced release (they are competing with Rancher: A New Life, you can tell because they went from 'some time in 2026' to an exact date after the Rancher demo came out) many of the bugs that were reported in the alpha and beta stages are still in game, it shows if you report a bug and it isn't just ignored (because like 10 people reported it before you), the community managers will tell you 'it's probably a work in progress' for real, a guy gets paid to log in and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun Game with several curves. I am slow in the game just like in real life. I am 72 yrs. old Hopefully in near future I will purchase a New Windows 11 PC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the first game quite a bit considering, it was never finished. this FD2 has been "coming soon" since the first one came out. So lets say weve been waiting about 5 years for this and it's basically the same game i guess. i dont really know because after ten attempts and not getting past the damn tutorial, im out. it doesnt look better, the tutorial/quests are broken, you can run faster than the tractor and truck . the Function keys for hotkeys is retarded. Ive played every one of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost 50 hours and time to have a say. Was excited day one and had high hopes Early access is what it is and i am not worrying too much and the bugs and problems as over time we hope they will be removed. There is sum really nice house assests in the game but you get given a house with no option to choose. be nice to have a smaller house with a car port on the side Instead you have this dirty big 3 story house in the middle of no where I wish this would change and give us the freedom to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More tedious than immersive I honestly don't know what the developers were thinking with some of the design decisions in this game. You start off having to drive a battered old tractor around the map at 30 km/h. Not for a short distance either, you're expected to travel from one side of the map to the other. Then you finally get your hands on a harvester and discover that it manages a mighty 13 km/h flat out, meaning you're once again spending ages travelling rather than actually farming.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DONT BUY THIS GAME. KEEP PLAYING FARMERS DYNASTY 1 WARNING: The game has 288 active bugs: You can find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2569670/discussions/2/ According to what the developers told me I was experimenting how to make a profit in this game. It is impossible. The game is worse than Farmers Dynasty 1 and similar Toplitz games like Medieval and Sengoku Dynasty. Or other new farm sims like Rancher a new life - Why can't Farmers Dynasty not choose between an old game and a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →right then, i will be blunt, this game feels like a repaint, basically if farmer dynasty and lumberjack dynasty had baby it would be Farmer dynasty 2, i've only had maybe 30 mins ingame, but it just leaves bit of a sour taste in my mouth, that may change over time, who knows. for now i'll give it a thumbs down, because of the aforementioned, being that it's EA, there will be bugs crashes and more, i hope with time the game will get the attention it deserves nay needs, if you like farming,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im going to be completely honest here. I gave up on this game. The distance between farms and the deathly slow movement of the vehicles are terrible...There is no way out of moving the vehicles, you have to travel the distance. Im all for simulation games, I love them! But this made me quit for now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would not reccomend. This game is an odd mix of mechanics that are either overly tedius and fiddly or laughably over simplified. The "dynasty" portion I just don't think works well and the time travel really juist doesn't work at this point. I can't decide if the developers are lazy and threw something together from existing bits and pieces or lack imagination. My first and last title with this developer. I took a 6 week break and came back to see the "improvements" honestly there are none..…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's got rough edges ... And I feel like I've only scratched the surface of it.. bit it's a fantastic game the developer actually cares, I posted an invisible wall to them and they not only gave me the solution but assured it would be later fixed If this developer stick with this and really goes at it. It has all the potential to be one of the greats ... If you like everything polished id hold off for abit but failing that it's got alot of content already well after all this time I've now…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought Farmer’s Dynasty 2 expecting a farming game. Unfortunately, after many hours of gameplay, it feels more like a village life and renovation simulator than a farming simulator. Too much time is spent running around the map, completing quests, talking to NPCs, and repairing buildings. Actual farming activities such as crop management, animal husbandry, and farm development feel like a small part of the overall experience. The game has a nice atmosphere and some good ideas, but if…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is terribly unbalanced economically. You buy pigs for 2,000 and don't even have to care for them. You send them to the farmer, get the meat and hides, make sausages, and sell them for 10,000. It's not worth sowing anything in the fields because it's unprofitable both in terms of time and the potential profit. There is no progress, because in 1-2 hours you can earn so much on pigs, chickens or sheep that you can buy all the fields, farms and machines in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chaotic, buggy, sometimes absurd… and absolutely unique :) Farmer’s Dynasty 2 is one of those games that keeps making you say: “what is even happening here?” …and then you start it again the next day anyway. This is not a perfect game. It is not even a properly polished game. This is Early Access in the fullest sense — with bugs, strange physics, unclear mechanics, sometimes absurd machine behavior, and moments where you honestly do not know whether you are reporting a technical issue or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short Version: This is a fun game that is worth of the "Dynasty" name as well as Toplitz Productions. Long Version: Twice I tried to play the original Farmer's Dynasty but I experienced really bad motion sickness both times. Unfortunately, I had to give it a thumb's down because of this. Thus, I was excited to hear there was a sequel and "motion" was first on my agenda of things to check out. I have played a little over 2 hours now, and haven't experienced any motion sickness or nausea. I did…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugly, ugly characters, lousy driving method, difficult to switch tools (that often disappear). Little or no explanation how to do things. Whatever you do don't pick up the wire brush because you will forever have difficulty accessing your very primitive nail gun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TO ANYONE NEW HERE - Please try to ignore the small dumpster fires forming in the reviews. Those are what I like to call the 'unpleaseables' if you will. -Continue reading if you are a) New to this game b) New to this game but enjoyed other farming games c) Enjoyed harvest moon. Yes you read that right. This is just a more realistic Harvest Moon Wonderful Life- albeit the fact everyone is a clone and your character looks like a psychopathic blue-eyed JP from Grandma's boy, with his 'Its not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game... This is the first time I've written a review for a game, maybe something I should do more often since I have been gaming for 40 years across five decades. I really want to like this game and sink a ton more hours into it, but in its current state I cannot recommend it. I realize it is early access, but let's review; In October 2024 I played Lumberjack Dynasty for the first time, ground 100+ hours into it quickly and saw the "Coming Soon" for Farmers…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i gave this game a thumbs up cause i am enjoying it, but... there is alot of aspects to the game i hope will be improved on, the graphics are great, i like where this game is going but it is missing some eliments that if improved would make this game even better, some of the things i will mention is it would be nice if the animals could be bred cause as it stands right now , you purchase an animal to then butcher it then buy the animal again , there is not much profit in that. there needs to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I could refund it, I would. I know Farmer's Dynasty 1 was a bit rough when it first released but you'd assumed they might've learnt from the experience. They haven't. Cars spawning and going in circles on the road, walls not being able to be paint and some that randomly change colour even though you spent hours trying to make it look nice. Their first 'hotfix' was to stop logs glitching through the ground, low and behold they are still, glitching into the ground. Very poor performance, I'd…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's Farmers Dynasty and Lumberjack Dynasty mixed. I was expecting a new improved game so far I am seeing the same game. I get the early access and I will give it a chance but why have the guide cost extra. most games you buy have the guide included. So if you love the first one you will like this one too. But if you are looking for a new better game you may want to wait a few months.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Repairing and Rebuilding is fun. Travelling to quests at a snails pace is not. I'm not a farmer for the first 10 hours of the game.... Energy management is weird, especially coming from the first game, which was also jank, but it had charme. This one feels grindy and the voice acting is cringe. I'm inclined to think that i have wasted my money. But i know that it is early accsess, so there is hoping that this sees a good full release. Honestly i think they will not finish this though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thumbs up from me. I played a fairly recent playtest and already the game seem fairly polished at that point and was eager to try out the release. Everything is running well, big improvements graphic wise from the first game (Which I also liked) and seems like a lot more to do. Really looking forward to building up my farm. One of the main gripes from the playtest was AI voices which I'm pleased to say after talking to 6 or 7 different people in the early access release is already gone. It's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game I like very much the first game. The sequel is better a lot to do. New graphics new inventory everything great. There are some bugs but the game is very good. This is one of the games the sequel is better. I like very much the first game and I love the second one. 👍
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had some trouble getting into FD1 but FD2 has been fun so far, played a lot of FS13 through FS25 and this game gives you more of a purpose and a goal than just getting rich. game runs and looks good, I just miss the FS25 line keeping for fields and as a colorblind person seeing the difference between cultivated and sowed gets quite hard for some seeds. other than that great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute horrible piece of garbage game. minimal pros and uncountable cons. FD1 is twice the game and still aint good. after years of being out it never got fixed or updated and this game wont be either in the next 10 years. too many things added that aint even a work in progress, let alone functional at all. the tractor gets stuck the moment you put 1 hey bale on the trailer, the fields you plow up turn back to grass ridden fields the moment you harvest making it hard as heck to find the hey…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is quite addictive just like the first game but man is it poorly optimized!!! The devs have to take a REALLY deep dive to fix it ASAP, the level of technical incompetence and/or engine limitations is just astonishing in 2026. It's not that I'm running the game on a potato either :/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah....no. I find it hard to believe that any positive reviews are from anyone independent. I've just requested a refund. So much potential and yet still falling so so short. I understand that it's EA, I can forgive how buggy it is, but there have been some very questionable choices made by the devs here. And, shock, they're cash-grabbing in one of the most shady ways. 1) There is no in-game tutorial, you'll have to figure everything out yourself. Not a problem for many frequent gamers,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Struggling to understand the negative comments for an EA game that has only been out for 2 days. Beginning to think that some folks don't get the early access concept. I loved the first one and this looks like a big upgrade. It exchanges the realism of Farming Simulator 25 for a much more broader depth of gameplay with lots of activities to get involved in. If you like life simulation games, this one does it it very well. Looking for ward to what' s coming next. Not overpriced either.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring, bad voice acting and graphics from 2005. This was released a month ago. Shameful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so incomplete the "Dynasty" series should be ashamed of themselves. Items sinking in ground, glitched equipment which renders it useless hell, you can't even paint a building right without some trim paint changing the color of a wall somewhere. When I bought this I expected everything in the first game and more but all I have gotten is disappointment. Play the first game don't pay more than .99 cents for this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this is actually going backward, I believe the first sequel was 10 times better. As far as I remember the greenhouse had more functions, and it was much much better story line. What a waste of 25$
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am so addicted to this game. I played Farmer's Dynasty and loved it. I also played Lumberjack Dynasty and loved it as well. To me, this is a happy mixture of BOTH!! This game is awesome!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started this game knowing it was early release but the snails pace in which the dev are improving is pathetic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me say it loud and clear, i do not make reviews to hurt anyone, or butter some one up. I judge the game as i see it, you may not see the same, i do not care! Dynasty 2. Well looks like it is the same game. step 1, take over farm, step 2 , get the tour, step 3 do missions to get gear. It is the same in the first one. So what is new???? So far i do not see it. Still like the game. 6/10 for now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IMO, A huge step forward from the original. I would like to see a way to clear the stumps from the cleared forest land so the player could create new fields. Maybe that is yet to come. Also, where did the option of selecting how much of the selected cooking item go? Having to cook one at a time is aggravating and frustrating. Looking forward to experiencing the updates and upgrades as this game matures.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game but traveling with the tractor to get attachments is a pain
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did play for many hours and was enjoying it. However, this game feels way too far away from being finished. It is taking me so long to get enough skill points to progress that i've just given up. Tons of the "skill perks" you can earn are not yet developed in game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is REALLY early access still. However, it's relaxing farming sim for those who want more than just soil farming. What I've encountered in the game SO FAR is: * House repairs. * Questing. * Commerce. * Cooking. * Foresting. * and more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Currently a buggy mess. Mower attachment won't attach, painting is janky and unreliable, not enough new stuff in the future. Eras seem half thought out. Can't heat home. Devs hellbent on selling user manual at a high price, I remember when those were free. Don't buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's bad, real bad. Lol. I loved the first game and was excited to try the sequel, but from the ground up it's pretty unenjoyable so I don't think it'll get better as development continues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For an early game and a small dev crew, this is a great sim. could there be some improvements? yes, but what game couldn't use some, and the devs are working to improve it. I think its a solid start to something that has amazing potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is same as FD1 now clue wott is diff dont buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After several hours of gameplay, I can say that I'm really enjoying the game and it has a lot of potential, but I think it can be improved in a few areas: Driving and Vehicles: I would make the driving mechanics a bit more like GTA. Right now, vehicles barely turn when stationary, but they turn way too much at high speeds. Another flaw is that in the first-person vehicle camera, you can't look back to check the plow or the attached implement. I would also add collision damage for both the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is awful. save your money. It is the most buggy piece of garbage you will ever play in your life. I highly do NOT recommend it. I WISH I could refund it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is kind of a repeat of the first with a different story line. Although it does show a lot more promise it still has it problems, The AI traffic gets a bit weird sometimes and logs ted to fall into the ground under the texture and you can not retrieve them, and some repair points are not where you would ezpect them. But all in all still very good for early access. I would recommend this more after these bugs are fixed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was barely noticeable in the beginning, but this game has a constant traversal stutter if you are walking, running, or driving. No stuttering happens if you are standing still moving the camera around, It's only while you are moving and it makes the game unplayable now. Also texture bugs and some flickering especially in third person perspective.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2026 And still cant make a game with functioning Borderless window mode? At the moment its a great game, but this is just rather annoying thing. Funny thing is it wasn't a problem in the playtest. But guess I shouldn't expect much. The first game to this day has serious issues that are unfixed. 7/10 for now till they get things sorted out. Also love the voice acting sound so much better than that AI stuff that was in the playtest. The way the game is at the moment, Its very very Early Access.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is far superior to farming sim. and has an interesting story The game feels slow to start and using F keys to change equipment is annoying
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🚜 Farmer’s Dynasty 2 — Great Story, Rough Around the Edges ⭐ 8.5/10 — Highly Recommended I really enjoy Farmer’s Dynasty 2, and I definitely want more of it. The story and overall farming-life concept are what keep pulling me back. Starting with a run-down property and slowly trying to build something out of it gives the game a lot of personality, and I really like the sense of progression. That said, there are some technical issues that need work. Controller mechanics can feel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too expensive for what it offers, the future world is a unplayable at least for now, As a grandpa the game is good but as a grandson the game is crap!!! And one more thing, does electricity cost too much to have better lighting on the farm?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is pretty cool, runs well and enjoy the game play. Only suggestions would be a map in the corner of the screen so you dont have to go back to the MAP each time, sometimes it wont let you exit the vehicle but otherwise great game, enjoying it so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →never played FD1, so this one felt totally fresh to me. even though there are plenty of negative reviews, i actually loved it. the only thing is that the game feels pretty slow-paced. checkout the gameplay;
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too many game breaking bugs at this point. Wait till they fix it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only Bad thing is Lack of Instruction on how to play & High cost of trying to play, past and future prices suck. But relaxing game play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game, I cant stop playing it and cannot wait to see how the game grows. My only request from the devs would be to make the travelling by a car feel faster, I dont mind a grind but driving from one side of the map shouldnt feel so slow. Great work, love this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game! There are some issues, but I know the devs are really on it trying to fix and add things as quickly as possible. I am really enjoying having two different time periods to play and how what you do in the past affects the future. I can't wait for the updates! No, really. I can not wait! I need them NOW! LOL I do hope we get more building items such as wallpaper and flooring. I also hope we will be able to move placed furniture (bathroom items) or if we already can, we are told…
