The tractors themselves definitely look very realistic as does the lighting in the game. Graphically, the game looks decent on a PC for a title of this calibre. Interestingly enough, the game does boast 140 authentic vehicles that include all the latest and hottest companies like Ponsse and Deutz-Fahr. With that said, it’s also quite hard not to make crop circles and other fun symbols in your corn crops when you do get a little bored of the gameplay. Making money is also quite easy yet time-consuming in Farm Simulator which does make the micromanagement aspect of this game quite easy and after a few hours of gaming, I was able to upgrade my equipment in order to make even more money. Regrettably I was unable to test this feature. The game also does feature a multiplayer component which allows you to invite up to 15 friends to help keep your farm alive and well. Needless to say when the environment was not affecting my crop maintenance with tractors and harvesters, the game is actually quite relaxing, although a little mind numbing at the same time, especially moving your crops to your silos. At times, certain parts of the gaming world did stop my tractor dead in its tracks. Apart from crops, the game also supports animal husbandry which gives the farmer… err player another component of farming.Ĭontrolling your farm is done via your mouse and keyboard which have been mapped out well but sometimes the environments affect the control of your tractors. However just like real farming, the elements at times do play havoc with your crops that can be quite frustrating, especially seeing them destroyed. Thankfully the game does contain a relatively basic tutorial that teaches you the intricacies of the game and hopefully succeed. Like a real farmer, the player does have access to a bank loan which will allow you to hopefully grow profitable crops in order to purchase additional equipment (more so with more powerful tractors) and other farm items. So the premise behind Farming Simulator 15 is to build a profitable farm and to survive the seasons. Sure it’s a little basic but it’s pure farming! Never having played the previous games, apparently this current instalment features an all-new gaming engine that is considerably more detailed than its predecessors and with that said, I must admit that the graphics do look rather decent on a high-end gaming PC. Even though there is a sandbox environment, there are many types of missions and objectives that are rewarded with cash for completing them.ĭisclaimer: The product images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product received.Sometimes you need to take one for the review team and for me, that was Farming Simulator 15 which basically transforms the player into a farmer which requires you to manage all facets of running a successful farm. Also new is the ability to control washing equipment from a first-person perspective to clean machinery and implements. with 140 vehicles and farming tools in total. This game adds 20 new licensed manufacturers for equipment, such as New Holland tractors, MAN trucks, Ponsse, Case IH, Deutz-Fahr etc. The general gameplay is identical for both settlements with similar delivery points such as train stations and windmills, but the American town has larger fields, making it more challenging. There is the village Bjornholm with Scandinavian influences and Westbridge Hills with a US-influence. This time there are two types of settlements to choose from to build a farm. Many new types of vehicles and machines are introduced for this activity.

Two new types of activities for this release are animal husbandry and forestry, but at a high starting cost. As in the previous games almost every action, such as connecting attachments, sowing, fertilization, plowing, harvesting, taking produce to the market and feeding animals need to be done manually. Players start with a small farm and by managing it efficiently the scope can be expanded while profits bring in new and better gear such as powerful tractors, harvesters and high capacity trailers. It largely continues the gameplay from the previous games in a sandbox environment. Nintendo Switch Accessories & Peripheralsįarming Simulator 15 is the 2015 edition of the farming simulation series.
