The upgrades in graphics are one amazing feature that is far greater than any other farm sim game.
But also the new animal system is something to admire. Not only do you get young or old animals, you can also create a pasture as big as you like to which will increase animal capacity the larger you make it. Grazing is a great feature too so you can let the animals feed off the grass in these pastures. So you can spend less time producing food and more time on other jobs.
The starting a new game menu is much more user friendly. you can start the game as you wish. You can determine how much money, how much of a loan and whether you want a starting farm. I think this is great for content creators and people who are new to the game.
The new crops are amazing, I particularly like spinach. it is a regenerative crop so you don't need to replant all the time. I also like the mushrooms and the rice. They are a nice change of pace from regular field work.
The new productions are a great way to help keep money coming in too.
The lack of equipment and vehicles are disappointing but the game they created is remarkable. Yes there's a lot of bugs. But you wouldn't ask a baby to walk at 1 week old. So we shouldn't expect a seamless release of a game created on a brand new engine.
