Lawn Mowing Simulator: Landmark Edition

Nice game but with too many features/ mechanics that can make it absolutely unenjoyable. Driving the lawnmover and cutting grass is incredibly relaxing, no question but the "game" around it is atrocious sometimes. - the lawnmower controls are a bit...weird and take time getting used to. the camera is just plain bad, you cannot see anything in first person and in top down perspective you always have treetops obstructing your view - progress is incredibly slow! okay in theory but only earning 2k max a week and needing 100k+ for a new HQ is discouraging. - employees are annoying af. i chose a more qualified one but every contract he still damages the vehicle in each category at least 10% and never once manages to get paid the full amount for a contract, even though he doesn't collect much fines. yes, he does make me some money but it takes a lot of time and extra maintenance - the lawnmowing mechanics are also a bit too realistic at times. you can overload your engine. it can lead to not perfectly cut grass you have to go over again, left grass cuttings and damage to the engine. you can avoid all that by driving slower (but that is no option, at least not on PC because you can either drive or not, no option to reduce speed or anything) or by just using half of the width of your blades. this is just really stupid though because you'll buy a wider lawnmower to make things easier just to have the exact same amount of blade usable with this tactic. i had a contract end early because my engine was fried after driving 4 rounds around a field. i would love to recommend this game, and if it wasn't so overcomplicated with mechanics and rules that take all the fun out of it and that make the game very annoying to deal with, i would. i really hope that the devs will chance some of these things or add a mode with reduced "realism" or something because even though i enjoy cutting grass i am dreading opening the game again at the moment. The whole bundle with the DLC is good value, the dlcs add more maps and stuff and are worth it if you liked the base game.
