DeVuego LATAM

Gaucho and the Grassland is an adventure with hints of a farm simulator steeped in Brazilian folklore, but reflecting the culture of all of Latin America. It stands out not only for its open gameplay, but also for offering a heartfelt tribute to Latin American culture and folklore, a theme rarely explored in video games. It's true that Epopeia Games' title isn't going to redefine the genre, but it offers a different approach to farm simulators, placing narrative and exploration above the typical goal of making money.

To close out this Gaucho and the Grassland review, I’ll say this: it’s a love story. To land, to culture, to kindness. It’s one of those rare games that feels made with care, where every mechanic supports the theme. It might not be for players looking for fast-paced farming or tight controls, but for anyone who wants to slow down and feel something, it’s a gift. I feel like anyone who enjoys cosy games will want to pick this one up.

 Whether you’re helping villagers, lassoing bulls, or taking on a fire serpent, Gaucho and the Grassland brings a heartfelt adventure that’s worth exploring.

A refreshing, culturally rich twist on the life sim adventure, marred only by some technical roughness, Gaucho and the Grassland is a game that grows into itself over time and rewards those willing to overlook its clumsy start.

Combining two different themes that complement each other well, Gaucho and the Grassland is a Brazilian game worthy of praise. While on the one hand we need to take care of crops, animals, and farms, on the other we have to help friends and take care of a mystical world. The gameplay is simple and fun, with a production full of charisma, filled with references to Brazilian culture, particularly to the gaucha one. In short, a great and neighborly game that's a must-have for your library.

Gaucho and the Grassland is still an easy recommendation if you’re into chill, cosy adventures with a touch of magic and a culturally rich setting. There’s heart in every pixel. A little UI polish and a couple less clicks per wood log, and this game could be something really special.

Gaucho and the Grassland presents a refreshing and entertaining perspective on the farming sim genre, with a unique Latin American atmosphere, beautiful graphics and a focus on animal care and adventure.

If you’re into your low-stakes farming and crafting games then you may find Gaucho and the Grassland is a fun way to kill a few hours.

Gaucho and the Grassland presents good ideas and a distinctive atmosphere that reflects the spirit of life in the grasslands, but it suffers from an identity shift between adventure and cozy games, which prevents it from delivering a cohesive experience and causes it to lose part of its charm.

Despite its familiarity to your average farming sim, this is more of an adventure game at its core.

Gaucho and the Grassland is a game that has some good ideas, but fails to execute them convincingly.

La historia bebe mucho de la cultura de los Gaucho y se ve que han querido hacer un bonito homenaje a ella, falta por pulir algunos aspectos técnicos en su mayoría pero seguro que disfrutaréis de recorrer las tierras como un buen Gaucho a lomos de su caballo y vivir aventuras. 

Gaucho and the Grassland is a refreshing idea, adding adventure and cultural history to a game genre that can always use more diversity. But as it pulls up towards release, it’s still in a bit of a rough state, with game-locking bugs and some confusion left as to how to accomplish some of your many goals. The developers appear consistently active at working on the game, posting fairly frequent updates about what they’re working on. They’re not very responsive to Steam users, preferring Discord, so bear that in mind.

Gaucho and the Grassland is a lovely little farming sim that is just the right level of accessibility and cosiness to chill for a few hours at a time. Though the game isn’t never-ending, there’s a fair amount to unlock and discover in it, and it’s not always obvious what you need to do, therefore encouraging a fair share of curiosity, and ultimately, an excuse for exploring.
