60 of 211 · most liked firstAs someone who enjoys mowing lawns in real life, I thought this would be a fun game, but unfortunately, it's just not for me. I found the controls and sensitivity to be either way too touchy or way too slow, no matter how I tweaked the settings. Combine that with the fact that your only options are riding mowers and they go full thrust with no limit (your person only knows pedal-to-the-metal and brake, no in between lol), and it just became really annoying and unsatisfying to try to maintain…

unlabelledView post →For a game whose specialty is grass cutting, it does not have sufficiently good graphics for the grass—especially when the player needs to see the difference between cut and uncut grass. I know that there is special function for to see uncut grass, but player only can use it while being still.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Drinkin beer and beer and mowing lawn, can't get more real. The only reason I got this game is because I mowed my good friends lawn while he was away, made the best looking and straightest lines in the neighbourhood.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 Would mow again. I'm really bad at it, but it let me live out my dreams of being a small business owner.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game, honestly surprised there aren't more positive reviews. Great super chill simulator to veg out to. There is a timer but its only to get $ bonuses, you can still take as long as you want on contracts and I regularly do. I played on steam deck and didn't have any input issues. If you do get stuck on rocks there is a button to recover the mower to a nearby location. My main drawback is I wish there were more levels, even with all of the DLCs. I also wish the pro view to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lawn Mowing Simulator has the potential to be a relaxing simulator about managing a small lawn-care business, unfortunately there's a number of annoyances that result in the simulator feeling tedious & leaving the player frustrated. Movement within the sim, such as turning on a mower, is clunky & leads to missed patches. Additionally, the grass texture makes it difficult to see what's been mowed & what hasn't. While there is a key to highlight missed areas, you have to hold the key for a moment…

unlabelledView post →This game is incredibly frustrating. The physics are wonky, collision hitboxes are terrible, and mechanics like ground damage are unrealistic. The fact that a powerful mower gets bogged down if you cut through grass but a hand push mower doesn't IRL is laughable. The button to delete your save pops in and out randomly right next to the button to quit the game, so you're screwed if you are trying to quit and accidentally move wrong. Fun game when it works, but it doesn't work 60% of the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted something relaxing, this is an exercise in 'you need an eco mower for all these contracts but you don't have one, can't afford one, and you don't even have a bay for it', timed and penalty induced frustration
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually play this on my Steam deck, it runs pretty decently. The game play does get repetitive but it's a good, casual game to play. I love that they finally added the ability to save mid-way through a job as some of them can take a while to do. There are some downsides, they offer a lot of mowers but most are useless on a lot of the jobs. Overall it is a good game and I can't wait for the second one to come out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i have only been able to get about 30% through the first yard it gives me terrible motion sickness. tried playing with the settings and still doesnt help. tried the new demo for the second one and still have the same problem. no other game ive ever played has done this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Currently game is playable BUT - Devs working on LMS2 and don't give a f... about this game, which means any bugs (and there's some) won't be fixed anymore - wheel support probably doesn't exist anymore despite "official support". A lot of people report issues and devs never responded it might be worth with big discount but definitely not full price.

unlabelledView post →I bought this game on sale and everything was great till I got stuck with Eco contracts. Why is getting stuck on eco contracts annoying? Well, I have only gotten to rank 5, just finished the first week, only have 2,125.58 euros in the bank and I only have gas powered equipment. The cheapest Eco mower is 4,299 euros. Not only can I not afford it but I don't even have the space to purchase it if i did. Now, you might be wondering why can I not have more than one mower? Well you have to upgrade…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this a no for a few reasons, but mostly for the janky UI. There are so many weird UI nonsense things, like the fact that escape doesn't work as a back button in most menus, but instead they opted to use backspace. Likewise there's nowhere to exit the game in most menus either. There's no save in the middle of contracts, even though some could be anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours long. The game's level-up RP system doesn't really clearly explain what you get for leveling up, it just…

I cried a thousand tears attempting to mow in the tutorial mode which I was in for a considerable amount of time. Unfortunately for me, I am terrible at remembering the controls for the mower. I was unsuccessful with a 100% completion of the yard and I may or may not have driven over several flowers. I thought for sure, I would have the opportunity to use a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are thinking about trying this game due to Wheel Support (ex. Logitech G29), don't bother. Whatever update happened be it the game or from Logitech, the game developers don't care about fixing it. I have seen multiple post in Steam about this issue with not response or resolutions from the developers. When I bought this game prior to this issue, I had not issue with my G29. I have tried everything including an OS reloaded and clean install of LGHUB. I have been thinking about getting…

unlabelledView post →Trash Picking Up Simulator I didn't buy this game to run around a lawn trying to find some random widget that the game may or may not actually render on my screen if I'm moving too fast. Except I'm forced to do that. There are WHOLE MISSIONS OF THAT. 33% of the current chapter is PICKING UP TRASH. i have no idea what the devs were thinking. It's like they said, "Hey, we created this nice relaxing game. How can we take a giant steaming dump all over the gameplay experience?"

Yeah im sure i could try and get a loan but i dont want to HAVE to survive on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Satisfying! There is a lot to play in this game. Sometimes I can hardly tell what's cut grass and what isn't when the sunlight reflects.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Every time i go back and try this game im reminded how ass the controls are and almsot never make it out of the test drive...i shouldnt have the camera sensitivity set to the max and it STILL take me 4 or more mouse swipes to look behind me which is only made worse but the over all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ feel of the camera

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its okay, could use some QOL stuff like a governor to limit speeds of mowers for those pesky overgrown jobs. I finished the base game and all the DLC, Im ready for the sequel that was announced.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls need a ton of calibration to get the actual driving feeling *decent*, but aside from that it's a solid simulator. Good podcast game. I enjoy that the mowers are real and you can play with some top notch equipment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice relaxing game, love to play this when im wanding down, but just not ready to hit the bed just of yet, the only downside to this game is I really wish it was multiplayer. Would love to play this with my bro.
