Der Milchbauer

This is an interactive spreadsheet disguised as a dairy farm management simulator, basically. You click buttons and watch numbers go up or down. Lots...and lots...of buttons. Not a bad way to burn through a few hours apart from the longer you play the more bugged it gets. A relatively minor recurring bug would be the inability to feed your cows improved rations for the first month after you load a saved game. A relatively major one? The ending's broken - every month past December 2020 sees your cows cease milk and calf production rather than give you a proper campaign end screen like going bankrupt does. Statistics tracking is also fragged for some reason. Achievements too seem to be a bit...off, although most of them work. I'd love to recommend this were it patched but seeing as SteamDB lists Der Milchbauer's last depot update as over five years ago I doubt that'll ever happen. Avoid this one.

If you need to speed up your carpal tunnels inflamation, this game is your best choice. Buying 300 cows => clicking 300times (+), no +5 , +10, mark with shift etc... If you want to inseminate the 300 cows you have to click 300times, but also need to scroll in slowly reacting list. The worst GUI execution is dragging this game completely down. And with the real economic data, well I am not really sure. Its better to buy the cows and sell them when they stop milking and buy new ones, than to inseminate them. Does not sound reallistic to me.
