Not very different from other GIANTS Software productions, Farming Simulator 2025 certainly brings some interesting news, implementing three new biomes and as many different methods to deal with the experience. Recommended for anyone who needs to get their hands dirty with mud and for those looking for a quiet experience.

Farming Simulator 25 is not a game for everyone, that's clear. It is a complex title, and only those who approach it with certain types of mentality will be able to survive its seasons.

Farming Simulator makes a less-than-triumphant return, with its latest entry buckling under the weight of bugs, performance issues, and bad UI.

Farming Simulator 25 is a pleasantly surprising experience that builds upon its predecessors to feel as expansive as ever while remaining authentic. While it's no revolutionary change for the series, Farming Simulator 25 is both rewarding and immersive if you stick with it, even if it won't hold your hand for most of the journey.

I was irritated by many things while playing Farming Simulator 25. Still, this is the best game in the series this far and a great foundation for future updates from the community – as long as the developers keep hearing what fans have to say.

Farming Simulator 25 is a tough experience if you haven't done farming before. The tutorial is short and only introduces you to the basics of agriculture, so you'll spend most of your time making mistakes and fumbling around. But if you stay and learn, you get a comprehensive farming experience. It comes at the cost of everything being related to farming, but you'll gain a better appreciation for the work that farmers do.

Farming Simulator remains an excellent experience. It’s educational, in that you’ll walk away with it with an appreciation for what farmers go through so you can eat.

Farming Simulator 25 offers extensive experience with new crops such as rice and spinach, extra animals such as goats and water buffalo, and a renewed weather system with extremes such as hail showers and tornados. Players can completely run their farm at their own discretion and take advantage of cross-play multiplayer. Unfortunately, the game lacks sufficient guidance for newcomers, which makes the learning curve steeper. Technical problems such as graphic simplicity, frame drops and weak voice-acting undermine the experience, but the game offers enough strategic depth for long-term gameplay.

Farming Simulator 25 is the new iteration of the popular series developed by GIANTS Software, even richer and more complete than in the past. Complex and rewarding, if incredibly peaceful and relaxing once the mechanics are assimilated, the farming and livestock simulation reaches new heights with brand new biomes and crops, as well as a number of interesting updates and improvements. This is not a title for everyone; however, those looking for a different and relaxing experience will find a true bucolic paradise.

Whilst I did find the visuals of Farming Simulator 25 not much further ahead from what I played ten years ago, I did appreciate that the scope of the game has changed massively. Other games in the genre try and simulate farming environments but with the work of Giant’s Software, you won’t get any better than this one. The maps are vast in size and there is an unlimited amount of hours within this game with three huge areas to choose from, longevity is there. Bring with this the massive array of authentic farming equipment you can invest in, it is a paradise for farming enthusiasts.

Farming Simulator 25 is a logical continuation of the franchise. This opus offers improved visual management, new crops, animals and two new maps. With its GPS system, the series takes a big step towards accessibility, and tasks on our farm are much less tedious. Nevertheless, this edition doesn't reinvent the wheel, and series regulars may even feel that some new features are missing. Not to mention the fact that, even at the time of writing, there are still plenty of technical problems to contend with. The game remains a benchmark in the field, but may not be the revolution some players were expecting.

Farming Simulator 25 talks a big game about the new features it has over previous iterations of the series. But those changes aren't quite big enough for me to recommend that you dive in right now. Give mods some time to catch up to the level they are in Farming Simulator 22, fix a couple of collision bugs I encountered, and maybe go on a sale, and then it's worth the upgrade. It runs well on the Steam Deck for the most part. The controls are great, and while performance in larger multiplayer games borders on unplayable, if you play solo or with a small group, it should run just fine.

Farming Simulator 25 makes some exciting improvements to AI and automation compared to its predecessors, making the game better in areas that it already excelled at, but it fails to ease the intimidating learning curve that's been in the franchise for a while.

Farming Simulator 25 is recommended for being able to combine realism and fun in an agricultural scenario. The introduction of three varied maps with new crops and animals perfect this saga. Without leaving behind the new deformation of the terrain and the graphical improvements that make it more similar to reality. A benchmark for veterans and new players who want to get into this genre.

Farming Simulator 25 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it certainly polishes it to a fine shine, offering a smoother and more refined experience. Whether you’re a newcomer eager to explore the rich world of farming or a seasoned player looking for a low-effort, laid-back game for those late nights, this is the ideal entry point. With the option to share the experience through multiplayer or enjoy the tranquility of solo play, Farming Simulator 25 delivers a relaxing and rewarding journey, no matter how you choose to tend your fields.

Farming Simulator 25 introduces interesting improvements like new crops, animals, production lines, and an Asian map, but while the AI is improved and contracts are varied, it still feels quite similar to Farming Simulator 22, with some persistent issues such as clunky menus, a lack of world liveliness, and minor performance problems on consoles.

Farming Simulator 25 is not an annual update and yet it feels like one. In a good and bad way, however, because there are new features, but at the same time a lot remains the same. New features are welcome, the new fruits and animals as well as the helpers are great and it continues to offer the best way to heat through the fields with combine harvesters and co, but remains graphically and for beginners very far behind.

This game and its niche subject matter certainly wouldn’t appeal to everyone, but if you want tractors to become your new obsession, this is the game for you.
