One More Lawn Review Summary

Fun lawn-mowing gameplay and an excellent soundtrack keep it entertaining, but AI-generated content concerns, poor performance, glitches, and mower-induced motion sickness hold it back.

Excellent soundtrack and songs: Players repeatedly praise the game's music, calling the soundtrack excellent, a masterpiece, and full of catchy AI songs that are bangers. The music is often cited as a standout feature and even a reason for purchase.

Overall fun and entertaining: The game is widely described as fun, entertaining, and enjoyable overall. It is a simple but satisfying experience that appeals to many.

Fun multiplayer with friends: Multiplayer, especially with up to six players, is highlighted as chaotic and full of laughs. Playing with friends is considered the best way to enjoy the game.

Quirky activities beyond mowing: Players appreciate the weird and secret activities, such as mini-games and silly interactions, that go beyond lawn mowing. These add extra fun and shenanigans to the experience.

Relaxing and chill experience: Many players find the game relaxing, therapeutic, and a chill-out experience. It serves as a relaxing simulator that lets players unwind.

AI-generated content concerns: Players suspect the music is AI-generated and note AI-generated polygons and a lack of human touch. The game feels produced by AI quickly, lacking soul.

Poor performance and glitches: The full game is reported as glitchy, laggy, and not smooth, with low FPS on strong PCs and Steam Deck. Performance drops significantly compared to the demo.

Motion sickness from mower: Players experience motion sickness due to the mower's near-360-degree rotation, backward movement, and camera spinning required for mowing. Many may abandon the game as a result.

Controller and Steam Deck issues: Controller support is wonky, especially on Steam Deck where settings are not read and controls differ. Menu navigation is hard, and the game is unplayable with a controller due to poor mapping.

Visual and design flaws: Ugly art and implementation choices, poor texture choices, and visual popping from an extra vertex frame. Vehicle attachments levitate and are not properly attached.

Lawn mowing core gameplay: The game is fundamentally a lawn mowing simulator where players cut grass and must avoid missing spots. This is the central activity described across many clusters.

Additional activities beyond mowing: The game includes various side activities such as grilling food, drinking beer, smoking, and fishing. These expand the simulator experience beyond just lawn care.

In-game radio with songs: A radio feature is included, allowing players to listen to songs while playing. This is a commonly mentioned feature that adds to the experience.

Multiplayer support up to 6: The game supports multiplayer for up to six players, including co-op play with friends. This is a frequently noted feature.

Map creation and sharing: Players can create their own maps and share them with the community and friends. This includes a map editor and customization tools.

Mixed performance reports: Some players report smooth, well-optimized performance, while others experience severe lag and low FPS. The disparity suggests performance varies significantly by hardware or settings.

Steam Deck compatibility issues: Several players report bad Steam Deck compatibility, including unrecognized gamepad settings and difficult menu navigation. However, some others report great performance on Steam Deck.

Full game performance worse: Multiple reports indicate the full release runs much worse than the demo, with FPS dropping from 90-200 in the demo to around 20 in the full game. This suggests optimization issues in the final build.

Very low FPS on low settings: Even on lowest graphics settings, some players only achieve around 20 FPS. This indicates poor optimization for lower-end hardware.

Long loading times: One player experienced a loading time of 3 minutes before playing. This could be an isolated issue but is notable.

Strong value for price: Multiple reviewers emphasize the game is well worth the money, with some calling it a no-brainer purchase. This is the most frequently cited positive point.

Music and radio praised: Several reviewers highlight the in-game music and radio stations as a standout feature worth buying the game for. One even says the music alone justifies the purchase.

Appeals to mowing enthusiasts: Reviewers recommend the game to players who enjoy lawn mowing, yard work, and outdoor activities. Crude humor and silly music are also cited as draws.

Community fair range: $5.99 - $9.99.

Session length: 2.0h.

Endgame: 2.0h.
