The Ranchers
The game
The Ranchers is an open world country-life sim for 1-4 players. Raise animals, grow crops, craft machines, build your dream house and explore the gigantic open world where mines and dangerous monsters abound. Earn the villagers' respect and esteem. And who knows, maybe find love and start a family.
The Ranchers has players deeply divided, the core country-life sim loop of raising animals and building a farm has its fans, but it's bogged down by constant complaints about poor performance and jank. Driving mechanics, resource gathering, and controls are widely criticized, making the open world feel frustrating to navigate. While it runs okay on Steam Deck, many on PC are hitting crashes and bugs that sour the experience, so it's a tough sell unless you're desperate for a new co-op farm sim and can overlook the rough edges.
