Ranchbound

пока игру к покупке не рекомендую. она довольна скучная, однообразная. Оптимизации никакой. Скорее всего верну за нее деньги. (если разрабы за неделю ничего нормального не добавят)

I have 20 hours in the game currently. Any issues? One from a recent update. I kept freezing when i opened a family tree for one of my cattle. Reported it in the discord. Got a reply. Fixed the next day. People seem to think this is a big company.. Its not. It's an indie group, possibly even a solo developer. Another thing, the people saying there 'wasn't anything to it' or that it was lacking content/slow? Honestly.. What game were you playing? The game runs smoothly, my issue with the freeze up was immediately patched and the developer has mentioned in his discord he's prioritizing more content in his updates. As of launch, there's been so much content added. - A new cow color - Genders among the cattle so you now need a male and female - Traits, both good and bad, that may positively or negatively impact your business. - performance updates (though, i haven't had an issue with performance excluding the freeze up from that one update) - A family tree for each and every cow with additional buttons to swap between cattle and show more/less of the family tree. - Pregnancy - Disease + a doctor to cure it - You can buy cattle from the trader - Adjustments to bandit frequency - The ability to sell calves - Many bug fixes - Another pen (The demo, at least, didn't have it.. I forgot if that was a thing at launch) The developer listens and replies to the community, they have even changed course of what they are focusing on as a result of what the community is asking for and that? is something a LOT of big games don't do. This is a simulation game. A management game. And part of it? Yes! It's waiting. All games have some form of waiting involved. Whether its waiting for cash, waiting for cattle to breed or waiting for bandits to appear.. It's kind of part of the game. You can bet and play cards at the saloon if you're wanting something to do while you wait. You can also split your cows and cowboys and have twice as many cows being bred at once (this is a great strat honestly) For a game that is STILL early access, i don't get the negativity - it's a really good game and it is really fun.

I can see the potential in the game, just quite frankly its slow. 2.5/5 for me currently. looking forward to further updates.
