Farming Simulator 15 Reviews
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 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.
For all its flaws, Farming Simulator 2015 is the latest, best entry in an exceedingly niche genre, a reasonable improvement on the last entry, and perhaps a change of scenery if you're sick of the sight of alien spaceships and chest-high walls. Even if the closest you've ever come to farming in real life is accidentally picking up an unpackaged vegetable in Tesco, I challenge you to try the demo, watch the first rays of dappled sunlight break through the treeline, glinting off the whirring blades of your harvester, and not be gripped by a sudden urge to bring the barley in.
Farming Simulator 15 is not for all gamers and even though I wasn't a fan of the content, I can actually see its merits. It definitely recreates the farming experience well and it does give the player some great content in terms of what kind of farming equipment and crops are available. Needless to say, Farming Simulator 15 is also a time-hole because this game definitely requires patience to succeed but there is actually something enjoyable about this strange game based on farming!
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.
If you know you'd like a farming simulator game that tries hard to recreate perfectly a small portion of reality, Farming Simulator is just what you need. If you are looking for an all-encompassing simulation game that basically recreates life on a farm, maybe wait for Sims 7: Farming Life. If you're in between, try to score this game when a deal arises, as you may get bored like I did. It's worth trying it out, and I'm glad I own it so I can go back to it when the farming mood arises, but my attention wavered far more quickly than I would have preferred.
Farming Simulator is king at what it does, so go farm to your heart's content. There is even multiplayer farming with your friends! Win, win!
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.
Farming Simulator 15 is a great addition to the series that includes a massively improved graphics and physics engine in addition to redesigned user interface and woodcutting gameplay. Players new to the series and farming will require patience and trail and error in learning the various gameplay mechanics. Farming Simulator 15 earns a strong recommendation for both series fans and farming enthusiasts.
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.
