Farming Simulator 15 Reviews
A weird experience that descends into boredom
I really like Farming Simulator 2015. It's not without fault and there are clearly areas for improvement, but it is great, involved fun and you will absolutely get your money's worth. And at the rate they're improving this series, Farming Simulator 2021 will be finest game known to farmkind.
If you're curious enough to pick up this title, and for some reason you have the inexplicable urge to treat it like the simulator that it is, I say give it a whirl. For everyone else in the gaming scene though, just stay the heck away and don't give it a second glance. If I could, I would appear across space and time to smack that copy right out of your hands.
It's definitely an experience we haven't really seen on the consoles to date, but one that is a tough thing to manage with the repetitive nature of the game. That being said, I'm sure there will be a good portion of people who will genuinely enjoy everything about making their own farm and watching it grow, as it's so simple to pick up.
It is a good game that completely lacks mass appeal. If just wanting to dip the toes into the farming experience there are far better options out there, but for farming or simulator enthusiasts, a great game awaits to fulfil that sweet spot that only a great simulator can do.
There's some fun to be had in Farming Simulator 2015, but come prepared with your iPod.
The final product that's on offer here is confused, confusing, guilty of not providing a smooth on ramp for new players, and also of not providing enough to keep veterans playing after the initial novelty of the new features – some of which are broken - has died down. Initially the game is engaging enough but the problems start to show through very, very quickly.
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
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 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.
