Snow Plowing Simulator First Snow Review Cons:

Performs badly from stutters to screen tearing and graphics constantly popping in and out.
No controller support.
Doesn’t feel as smooth as you would like when clearing snow.
Driving is bad.
The menu buttons and shortcuts are just ugly blocks of text, yes you can hide them but they are so ugly it makes reading them when you do need them harder.
Very easy to leave pixel-width snow particles that have to be cleared for 100 percent.
The first five minutes are just a constant bombardment of *tutorial* pop-ups.
Shoveling is tedious.
Any sort of precision is a frustrating task.
The music is very bland and not that energetic for the tasks at hand.
No timer on the screen.
