I don't know if I should recommend or not. The thing is, I'm very mixed about it but there are a few more things I like than dislike.
PROS:
Accurately simulates a farmer's life. Mainly eat, sleep, milk cows, get eggs, interact, repeat.
Repairing buildings adds to the stuff you can do.
Decent graphics, definitely do not recommend using an internal GPU, game does not support it.
Comparing it to FS19, the equipment scaling is better, a 3 meter cultivator actually feels big, and not like a 2cm one.
Nice concept of inheriting a farm.
CONS:
The main one is that you can only play on one map. What I mean by this is that you can only play on a (From what I see) a Polish style map. I would've loved to see another map that would be more difficult to play on, and be able to chose between them.
The prices seem overkill for certain crops.
People seem very, bland. Very waxy. Not the main focus of the game, but definitely an important one.
Not much to do after you buy every field on the map, all the equipment and have a wife and two kids.
Over all, a well made game with a couple of bugs here and there. But I can definitely say that it needs work. I really want to see what this game becomes in a year or two. Definitely worth a try in the future, but now, only if you want to. It'll definitely be one of the games that sits in my library patiently until I don't want to play American Truck Sim, Farming Simulator, Stormworks or Forza. Definitely my longest review but it's mainly to tell you about the main concept of the game in a more Pros vs. Cons way.

When I began playing Farmer's Dynasty I found it pretty challenging to manage the farm equipment, but I'm glad I stuck with it and kept playing. Once you get accustomed to the mechanics of the game, it can be pretty fun plowing, harvesting, repairing, growing and such. Foraging and gardening are a nice addition. Fishing in this game is relaxed and not at all frustrating as in some games. The concept of fixing up your farm is appealing. I would like to see more in terms of personal customization... like how about a lady farmer? That would be cool. Would be nice to be able to customize paint, surface treatments , add new furniture and appliances... be able to better clear debris.... I know that is a total chick wishlist.. lol.. I'm also excited about earning the new farm equipment. Landscape in the game is very pretty.. cooking in the game is well done.. maybe more recipes? I know another chick request.. My character won't be getting married as the NPC's are not that appealing to me. As long as we have friendly convo and they pay me for quests.. we're good.. lol...But there is a cute cat and dog to keep me company as I work-a -holic my way to the best darn farm ever. This is a game with a lot to offer and huge potential. I look forward to playing it more and seeing where the Devs take it in the future.

What a surprise!!!.... So many upgrade options, So many ways to make money.... FREEDOM!!!
So coming from farming simulator... with 1000s of hours over the series.... this is what farming simulator should have been aiming for.... there is no point making a simulator with nothing to spend your money on after you have the top vehicles..... with this game you can now do up you farm, repair it and repair other farms.
Really you just need to give it a try... parts are a little clunky but so was the first farming simulator title... I vote support these guys as they have thrown so much different things at this game

This gets a super reluctant thumbs up from me. I'll try to explain why
.The Good:It's a nice, relaxing game where you can just waste hours chilling and tending your farm. I love these sorts of games, my job is stressful and I enjoy just chilling when I get home.
The ability to fix up your farm and your neighbor's farms is also nice. I also really enjoy being able to customize my farming equipment, painting them different colors, etc. And the fact they get dirty and need cleaned is a nice little touch.
The map is expansive and feels much larger than it really is.
The Bad:The animal and NPC animations are AWFUL. Just...atrocious. It's also very buggy, animals will appear and disappear, NPCs will float around. It's nothing game breaking but it does kill the immersion.
Vehicles tend to keep rolling even after trying to stop them several times. The harvester absolutely despises hitching up to its attachments and I've ended up wasting 5-10 minutes just backing up and trying again over and over to line up juuuust right to pick it up.
The nitpicky:This stuff isn't a game killer for me...but it'd be nice to customize your character a little. Even better if I could play a female. Like I said, not gonna ruin my experience but it would be nice.
The Engineers Sight is handy, but having it outline apples and strawberries and mushrooms in...green? Really? Green will be easier to spot in green trees and green grass? That makes zero sense.
Overall...it's not something I would recommend unless you really love those 'pretend to have a job' sorts of games that let you escape into a world where you aren't trapped in whatever job you're currently in. Also as a side note I'm pretty sure Steve in Fisherman's Wharf is a drug dealer. People keep asking me to bring them 'packages' from him and giving me 200+ euros for delivering them. It's a little suspicious if you ask me.

Year One. Since I inherited the farm.
Heading towards fall now. It's been a good year. Rex the stray dog just moved in he barks in the yard at the deer and boar wander into the yard. There are never any thieves here, for that mind no cops either. So I just leave the gates and the door open all the time. Being from the city it took a while to get used to it. But the people are friendly, but strange.
The People
Strange how? Well just for example there ain't no blondes. Did they all get up and leave? Were they made to feel unwelcome? Maybe they all bottle dye it, but I haven't asked people about it. Not been here long enough to pry. I just help folk out with odd jobs when I have the time and I generally do. I take them things they need, fix buildings which I pride myself on being a strong point, plow their fields.
I also deliver packages around the place like I am USPS. Mostly collecting stuff from some old man in the South and running it round the place. I get paid $200 a time mostly but the buses are good for getting about the place. I used to worry about it being something illegal in those there packages. I never opened them enough but people are very open about it. Maybe they are all a little touched and want to keep me busy, but who knows. I guess as I am the one that is running round the place for them I must fit right in.
The Lovely Sasha
I have been courting a young lady, Sasha on a farm nearby. Her folks are very proper. I can never take her out anywhere but she is okay with my turning up at 6:30am after I have collected the eggs and milked the cows, saying hi to her and sweet talking her, ignoring the rest of the family and driving away. I do this every other day and that seems to be the way around here. Drive by wooing.
The Farm
The farm is a beaut. On the side of a valley it's sweet and I am happy to live here for the rest of my days. Which is fortunate as there is some strange law in these parts that means I can't buy other farmhouses or houses to live in. The farmers will happily sell me their fields, but not a new home. Lucky it's kinda nice.
I started with two fields. Got them harvested and filled again with wheat. They will ripen and grow over winter. I have bought two more fields locally with money from selling tomatoes from the greenhouse and doing jobs for the people in these parts. I hope to buy another small one before fall comes.
I have done all the farming myself except for fertilizing. You would laugh to see my plow lines at the start but my turns at the end are getting real neat. The fertilizer I get them to air drop that in for speed and just cause it's cool. Kinda enjoy the farming part. Folks around were kind enough to give me the equipment I need as I did odd jobs for them. The equipment is poor quality, I reckon that bale cart came over with the settlers. But it works until I can buy more. At the moment I am spending money on fields as I am cash poor rather than time poor as that changes later on I can invest in more efficient equipment.
Still can't neatly reverse the tractor with the seeder on in to the seed stall if Sasha's life depended on it.
Decorating the old place
It was a bit of a wreck around here when I moved in but it cost me nothing to fix up and now I am spending a little of what I make on redecorating the house and doing the garden so the place is real nice for when Sasha makes me a happy man and agrees to me my wife. Though the way I hear argue with her sister on the farm sometimes makes me know she's not all sweetness and light all the time...

Its a fun game if you have the time. it makes me a bit nausous sometimes from the camera movements but i still play through that. I wish they would have a character creator and have a female player possible.
