It’s got guns though, which is very un-Stardew

Are you tired of running a pleasant farm in the quaint fields ofStardew Valley? Then why not don your best plaid shirt, whip out a hunting rifle and get to building your very own homestead inRanch Simulator. It’s an open-world simulation game that launched in early access today, and it seems a whole lot like a gritty, realistic (ish) 3D version of Stardew.
The family ranch isn’t doing so well these days, so your grandad has summoned you to come and work the farm (sound familiar?) and fix her up. You’ll need to rebuild the ranch, improve on the main house and tend to some livestock to create a bustling homestead and live the dream.

Earn enough money and you can head to town to buy new trucks and supplies. The game has singleplayer as well as four-player co-op, so you can invite your pals along to help you.
There are bears in Stardew Valley, I guess, but they aren’t dangerous. One of them just wants some tasty maple syrup. I wonder if Ranch Sim has maple syrup.
Ranch Sim is out in early accesson Steamright now, and it’ll cost you £20/$25/€21. Developers Toxic dog expect the game to stay in early access for 8-12 months.
