60 of 180 · most liked firstWhile the concept is neat, some of the mechanics are outright broken. A big one for me is that my guy doesn't warm up in the truck or the garage like it says he will - part of a massive feature of the game and it doesn't even work. Also, the stuttering is really bad for some reason - my computer can run games like Spiderman 2 on the highest graphic settings and not even make a peep or anything, but this game the framerate stutters really bad. I want to play this game and the parts that have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know this game is in early release but omg the amount of times I have glitched this game out is insane. I want to play so bad but every time I gain a significant amount of money saved up I am driving the truck around and just glitch through the whole world and then I have to restart.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly, this game is in the same state that it has been for almost a year now. It has potential, but it just isnt where it should be. Saving doesnt work very well and alot of the times the game will stop responding to clicks. This is a problem when the whole interaction system relies on clicking. This is the second time ive bought and refunded the game. Its sad because the game has potential.....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too laggy, I can't recommend it. Refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shoveled snow for 3 hours. Little repetitive but, that's fine and to be expected. Finally saw my first NPC in game he tells me to check on a swing in his backyard. I fell in a hole and can't get out of it. Had to quit the game. No auto save, lost 3 hours of progress after falling into hole. Rage quit game, uninstalled game, waited 2 months before leaving review due to still being angry and not even wanting to even think about this game again. Would give it more thumbs down if i could.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →would not recommend i have a 9070xt with a 7800x3d and cant even get 60 fps on this game and it says my gpu isnt supported when its the same age as this game lmao
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish this game was better optimized. I like the game, but the fiddling around with graphical setting to get an okay-ish framerate is just frustrating.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game that is about moving snow, I wish the snow went somewhere when you picked it up or plowed it. Some plows will fill up and create a pile of snow once full like shown in the trailers, but you can just walk into the pile or use the plow on it again to delete most of it with no penalty. The rest of the tools either delete the snow on contact or toss it into the void, which also feels unsatisfying given how important deciding where to put the snow is when clearing snow in real life. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do snow removal for a living so i thought i would really like this game, and some parts i do. i find it annoying how the game wants you to get so close to objects but then stops your shovel dead when there isnt anything there, but i am willing to forgive that. Unfortunatly with how unoptimized it is im having a hard time giving it a thumbs up. My pc falls within the minimum and recommended specs and it seems im not the only one facing these issues. I would love to change my review to positive…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried it again after 1.0.. Just don't get this game. There's plenty of other simulators out there. It's a great time waster. Relaxing (until your truck get launched). Still can't finish jobs from a tablet or menu. You have to drive all the way back to a stupid signpost to say you're done. 3rd shovel is useless since you may have to go over the spot more than once, maybe 3 times. May as well use the 2nd one. 2nd plow is useless since it doesn't turn, may as well use the first so you can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bunch of BS! Instead of finishing the game, they pretty much added a couple things and called it 1.0. Now it's broken and won't be fixed! I want my money back! It's time to stop letting devs and publishing companies do this type of thing! FU!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like the game but the collision and controls with the tractor need to be fixed. At the very least add in a slider to allow us to slow down the turning.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're having graphic problems and the frame rate is crud.. try these simple things to change that! -SET FPS LIMIT TO 60 -SET SHADOWS TO LOW -SET VIEW DISTANCE TO LOW OR MEDIUM -MAKE SURE THE GAME IS FULLSCREEN -SET FOLIAGE TO LOW OR MEDIUM -SET RESOLUTION TO 1920 x 1080 AND WORK YOUR WAY UP FROM THERE -SET EVERYTHING TO MEDIUM OR LOW AND WORK THEM UP TO THE NEXT TIER IF IT RUNS FINE -SET RESOLUTION TO 75 IF ALL ELSE FAILS I nearly refunded this game and gave it a negative review. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do enjoy this game, as i been playing it quite often now. There are pros and cons of the game. Of course it's a early access game, and expect bugs and issues here and there. Pros: -A great leveling system and health mechanics. -Easy to learn once you get started. -Open-minded dev team who are continuing to make the game better - You have to use different shovels for different spots, You're not just stuck only using one item at a time. -Cool side quests and sotrylines. -A good reasonable…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the fact a things break and you cant repair is dumb beyond anything. and its not cheap stuff. fact how insanely the itrems break down is crazy to
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cool simulator in which we have to clear snow from sidewalks and entrances to garages, earning money to improve our equipment. Each successful task will bring us closer to buying more serious equipment and vehicles. With the increasing efficiency of our equipment, new opportunities will open up: we will be able to accept more complex orders and work in interesting places - from cozy residential areas to large commercial facilities. Over time, we will not only improve our skills, but also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a really fun chill game 👍 I thought that you had to just guess with the mini map to figure out what needs to be cleared but turns out there is a button that highlights everything that needs to be clear. After I found that I was having a grand old time. If you want to explore and clean up a winter wonderland then this is the game for you!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took 5 mins of trying to get this game to run decent to give up and refund it, looks like a fun game but needs to be optimized. Game didn't even like turning it down to 1080p... PC specs: 12700kf 64gb ram 5070 gpu
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy piece of ♥♥♥♥ game. Can not believe they charge money for this ♥♥♥♥ show.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a stuttering mess played the demo last year ran great.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I am gonna leave a review for this game for a simple reason....The game is addicting and is constantly getting updates to it. With the new DLC that just came out, Which is a incredible price even off sale, is well worth it. I will say the storms can get repetitive, But....Welcome to winter! I am giving the game a 4 of 5 because like any game there is room for improvement, however...I highly suggest giving this game a really good try. I myself have left it, came back, left it and now back…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of people complain about the games optimization and whilst it’s not great it’s not the biggest problem, not even close. The manual snow clearing is actually not too bad but the actual snow ploughing, with any vehicle type, is terrible. The driving is awful, steering is almost impossible to control and the view options are poor. However, the biggest issue is the actual ploughing. There is no difference between just driving the tractor/truck and ploughing. It just feels like you’re…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →updated review: ive replayed the games intro again and they have added a full tutorial with markers however going into the open world has gave me a lot of issues mostly due to missing faces on some of the meshs and extremely stretched textures on the sidewalks in particular performance is still kinda hit or miss still needs a lot of polishing before being a worthwhile purchase it really shouldve stayed in early access that bit longer to iron these issues
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't even get past the opening job as the shovel won't even spawn in after purchasing. Just standing around doing nothing. Graphics look like they're from 2005 and the snow is very jagged, not what I was hoping for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Originally had some issues but the people working on this game are amazing! They took time to message me and make sure I got what I needed out of the game. The game itself at its core is really good with a few small issues here and there but with the way the devs are going I'm sure they will keep working hard on it. Also really need to mention I love all the weird investigating you can do around town definitely adds value
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent chill fun, it's got it quirks but seems like the dev(s) are working on it so should continue to get better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like games like this I really do. Power wash simulator, crime scene cleaner, viscera cleanup detail, etc. Nice little time sinks that are pretty relaxing and fulfilling. This promises to follow that formula but right now I simply can't recommend it. I'd wait. The introduction of wear for equipment, tyres, etc has not been good. Not the game mechanic, that's needed, but it's so badly balanced and poorly thought out that it removes any enjoyment from the game. Tyres wear out very quickly and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →remember its early access the game is very well made and is constantly being updated and everytime you load the game it shows a little message that show progress of current wokings by the dev team that said there is still some issues ive found such as when you clear a road it doesnt tell you where to turn it in just a signpost appears on the map and there are a few issues with slow story progression and hit box registration with vehicles and tools in certain areas how ever with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game concept is really great, its even somewhat enjoyable, however its really unoptimized. A game like this has no reason to require an RTX 2060 as a minimum. I really hope that as time passes the dev(s) will optimize this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slow/poor development of core gameplay and bug fixes and native controller support. Creating lower sales. Then focused all resources on DLC, leaving the poor core gameplay. This compounded the original problem POOR CORE GAMEPLAY AND BUGS... Greed will blind, pride will destroy. They thought their product was finished and ready for DLC. It is not. Sales will be the only market. That will just lead to more people let down. Crushing the developer and the publisher. But heres the reality, the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this and I was enjoying the game, even through the bugged out snow visuals and road clearing etc. What completely killed it for me was the progression bug I encountered, one item doesn't spawn or fell through the world and now all progression is locked. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The floppy disk I need to be able to change weather.....that is the item that just fell through the world or failed to spawn . Due to this one bug I would have to start over I guess and hope it doesn't happen on a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so I picked this game up on dec 16 2025, and by the 19th i had to uninstall it. The main issue i have is when i get done talking to an npc the only movement I have is the camera. I cant move or open any menus, i'm just stuck standing there. I hope this gets fixed because i do like the game but at this point it is unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy this trash game, this beyond terrible. This is was of the worst games that i honestly wouldn't even touch this game with a 12 foot stripper pole that's been used for years, this screams a unity asset flip with zero effort and some how made the game boring, unrealistic, and just straight up lies. The "totally legit" reviews that you've seen by these companies that barely even existing. Paid reviews, stupid concept of a game with zero multiplayer and just a flat out scam. I'm reporting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It bugged when I bought the first shovel and wouldn't deliver it even after 5 in game days. Then when I reloaded my save it did deliver the shovel but 30 seconds after starting to use it the game froze. When I'm not even 1 hour into a full release game and already had 2 major bugs that is a sure sign to thumbs down and get a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It may still be a little buggy with more than a few things, It has given me quite of bit of entertainment with it being out of the normal simulation games. Thank you devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I understand that the game needs a lot of work, particularly with optimization, but I there is a really cool concept underneath all of that. The Developer is trying his best so I have to commend him on that. I will persevere for a bit cause I do enjoy it this style of game a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Snow Plowing Simulator: First Snow on Steam.
unlabelledView post →So first off, I need to preface this review by saying I absolutely LOVE winter and snow and this game’s setting, I want to live there! So I caught wind of this game searching for simulators. I had become a junky. And when I saw this, I thought, “This is a no brainer” before I even checked to see if it was supported on SteamDeck. Initially, I could not get the game to load or play at all. But with some trickery by putting -DX12 as a launch option and on medium settings, the game has worked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has gotten buggier since they updated it. I legitimately thought it was still in Early Access and was stunned to see it was in full release. I started a new game and after completing the first mission the camera zoomed up in to a bird's eye view of my home office and then never zoomed back down. I had to restart and eventually uninstall/reinstall + verify game files. I tried starting another new game and it popped up a tip which then froze the game. Totally unacceptable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a great premise and i expected it to be somewhat similar to Lawn Mowing Simulator, and it kind of was But the major issues cannot be ignored Performance is ABYSMAL, im pretty sure Sonic 06 had less pop ins than this, driving in vehicles feels like swimming in concrete, but at the same time you bounce off railings like a helium balloon Road cleaning quests are repeatable, after a snowstorm hits they all fill up with snow This is fine, you have to earn money somehow, except the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FreeMind the name of this product describes the game pretty good. The game runs with +100fps, but everything is stuttering all the time. The User Interface is not working. You open a menu and suddenly your mouse is gone no obvious way to get back/out of the interface. State of the game is Alpha if not worse. No idea how someone thought this is ready for a release. Its not even ready for a EA-release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game IS NOT READY to be out of pre-release. I understand that the developer is working hard to make it better. but there are more bugs than things that work correctly. there is constantly snow too close to obstructions so i cannot get to it with any tool. the hud is bugged and i lose my compass and options often ( i know h hides these, but this is not that). if you tap a gate with a plow it'll send a line of the deepest snow possible across the property, you often have to reload to gain…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit 25/06/25 After my initial negative review and conversation with the dev, I still can't recommend this game. I've spent about 7 hours playing the game and I'm seeing a lot of bugs, such as the snow that seems to be constantly moving and shifting, getting stuck easily, and some house doors spinning like a helicopter when closing, to name a few. Performance is still horrible when trying different settings with frequent frame rate drops. But all of this can be improved and fixed. What I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love it. Is it complete ? Obviously no. But does devs work hard on it ? Yes they do. Driving is a bit janky and i feel optimisation is the issue,does have small bug(only one in 13 hours) and had a couple of crash that dev helped me with yesterday.5 message email back and forth in two days,that's dedication. Yes it's EAG but i have no problem recommend it at that price. Thanks Adam !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun little game and is very relaxing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Snow Plowing Simulator is absolutely a cool game! It’s not just about clearing roads; it’s about embracing the beauty and challenge of winter. And it feels real in the game. The game’s realistic snow physics and weather effects make every plow feels authentic, and the variety of tools to deal with snow keep the gameplay engaging. It’s relaxing yet thrilling. Huge kudos to the developers for creating such a unique and enjoyable experience.I played it an shared my experience. I will play more as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update to 1.0 made this game go from slightly unoptimized to an absolute mess. Like unplayable due to lack of performance. (on a 4070) Bit weird how we went from v0.2 to 1.0 in one patch too - did PlayWay lose patience that quickly? *Just noticed this game is apparently still in early access, but they just released version 1.0? How does that make any sense? 1.0 is feature complete. End of. Don't buy if you value your sanity.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a lot of bugs but if you get stuck anywhere you will just lose all your progress and it sucksss a lot you should be able to save game from the menu or have a key for unstuck i think it would help a lot of people
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so far so good, regardless of how this feels more like work up here in the north it is still fun with the aspect of growing your business etc. As a sim it has some relaxing elements to play through. Now having the ski resort dlc it has gotten a bit better. Dialing in the visuals can take some doing i wish the game engine was better but it is still a relaxing game to play. worth a run through especially at 15 bucks. Oh also while the game has some issues the game is getting constant attention…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chill game to sit back and not stress about.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont waste your money. Game constantly bugs out, story line is impossible to complete because the devs couldnt design their way out of a wet paper bag. talking to the NPC's for the story causes the game to lock up and you have to alt f4 and lose your progress. half of the plowing missions are impossible to complete or take way longer than they should because you have to progress through the story line to unlock the needed equipment and that isnt possible with the current failed design. graphics…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Snow Plowing Simulator was a fun play. Thanks to @keymailer.bsky.social, #FreeMind games and #PlayWay for the opportunity! Check out the first few hours of the game from one of my latest VODs youtu.be/LVP0Xpr0nBs
unlabelledView post →Game runs very poorly in some areas, Plowed a bunch of roads and when i went to the highway part, The snow just reset and it wouldn't let me finish that quest, If there was a option to remove the snow from coming back, I'd probably play more. Main thing is the optimization and the snow coming back / The highway bugging.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →to snowy (this is a joke)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game would not support my very common graphics card which led to a very bad gaming expirience. I would love if they could fix this because it looks like a very enjoyable game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A horrible, wonky and senseless bugfest. You will have more fun shoveling the snow of your local malls parking lot with a plastic spoon
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →says its a finished game when you first start, this game is far from finished. the english is terrible, like nobody that was involved with the dialogue knows english and just put their language through google translate and put it in the game. the first quest glitched out or something and wouldn't finish so i refunded it after 1 hour. was looking for a relaxing game to play while im watching shows but all it did was cause frustration. 3/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game Its alot of fun i just wish we would be able to shovel the stairs too and porches will that be possible ! Thanks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this game, the UI/menus can be wonky at times with hotkeys to open a menu not always closing said menu. Fair amount of difficulty settings that can be changed on the fly. The english translation/grammar is a bit off when it comes to conversations but everything else is fine. 9/10 will drive my pickup through people's yards again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor vehicle physics, and extremely buggy. You will fall through the world often.
