Farming Simulator 15 Reviews
Farming Simulator 15 can provide a tranquil, educational and interesting virtual farming experience. However, at $50 for a hamstrung version compared to its PC sibling, the bugs and narrow gameplay make it difficult to easily recommend.
Farming Simulator 15 is an impressively realistic simulator that deserves commendation for its accuracy. It is, however, a very slow and time consuming title that will bore the average gamer.
It's not an easy life, and this is not an easy game; some will find it greatly rewarding, but they are likely in the minority.
Farming Simulator 2015 has a clean look to it that makes it fairly pleasing on the eyes. . . the frame rate is very consistent too, making gameplay a smooth experience
I'm not convinced that this game does not have an infinite shelf life. I don't think I will ever run out of things to do on my virtual farm, which is a bonus of sorts and adds to game value. There is something inherently relaxing about hearing cows moo in the distance while I drive a tractor to my cornfield at sunrise. And, when I feel lazy I can hire someone to drive my tractor for me. Back and forth. Up and down. Back and forth. It's mesmerizing and boring all at the same time; and so is Farming Simulator 2015.
Farming Simulator 2015 just does not offer enough to make it worth playing instead of all the great games we have available today. If you want to relax while playing videogames, there are way better games to do that – Flower and Journey come to mind as good examples.
Farming Simulator 15 is a fun game but not fun enough nor polished enough to warrant the £45 RRP on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It's a strong base that is strangely relaxing and hopefully the developers build upon this in future releases. It fails to be enough of a simulation to live up to its namesake, but if you're a fan of agriculture there is enjoyment to be had.
Farming Simulator 15 is only likely to please a narrow spectrum of people who love tractors and ploughing the fields.
Farming Simulator has a long way to go if it is to be enjoyed by the typical gamer. Lack of proper tutorials, glaring AI problems, and a long grind make it nearly unbearable – at least to those who have zero interest in farming. For those who appreciate agriculture however, Farming Simulator 15 does exactly what it says on the box, and they will likely enjoy the product.
A weird experience that descends into boredom
