The value story
April 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $9.74. It has been discounted 21 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Littlewood ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Pathless Woods ($15.99, scores 36).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 1 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 17.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 13 of the 465 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 569 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 524 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say
I really don't like posting negative reviews for a game when I know the development team is small and is really making an effort to make a good game. But I've been told that the developers have said that this is basically it…they'll only be fixing bugs from here on out. And I cannot recommend this game. I don't want this to sound mean. There are nice things! I like the art and the character design. The music is...
Game is still incredibly buggy and unpolished. Not ready for release. Most annoyingly, randomly become unable to use tools except for axe after dismounting hover bike. I do like how the player is able to walk at the hover bike speed after some interactions while mounted. Update: New worst bug(s)? Time froze when I slept in the ship on Hafnir, and all my furniture at my farm disappeared. I don't know if they're...
I'm recommending Farlands because, after 13 hours, I still want to keep playing. That's usually the biggest sign that a game is doing something right. That said, Farlands is a game still searching for its identity. It borrows ideas from a lot of other titles, farming, crafting, exploration, progression systems and while none of these elements are bad on their own, they don't always come together into something that...
