Farming Simulator 25 Reviews
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.

If you have already played a previous version of Farming Simulator, you will love the new features that you will find in this installment although they may not seem too much to you, on the other hand if you have never tried this simulator and you are interested in the theme, I invite you to join the virtual farming community, it takes a while to adapt, but it is well worth it.

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 offers an immersive farming experience with a vast array of machinery to operate and numerous tasks to complete, providing something for everyone at a whole new level of gameplay.
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.
Fans of the series will be delighted with the new possibilities that Farming Simulator 25 offers. Unfortunately, slowly Giants Software has to think about a significant upgrade of its engine.

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.
With the new additions, it will keep you amused for hours and who knows you might even be able to join my farm one day and learn how to not farm the land. The developers did an amazing job with creating just a great atmosphere and what feels like a brand new game from previous ones and I’m keen to keep sinking hours in.
This is still a good game. It might be a bit hard to justify the price for the increases if you’re coming in from a previous entry, but if you’re fresh meat then this is one to either pick up now or wait for a sale (and further updates) some months down the line. Mod support is also present but because it’s a new game, it’ll take a while for some of those great mods to come into fruition. When it does though, this game will transform completely and for the better.
Overall, Farming Simulator 2025 does not appear to be fully developed. For enthusiasts or gamers who are already well versed in farming - perhaps having played the predecessors - the obstacles mentioned may not be a major problem. For newcomers or people who like to learn by playing and want to switch off from a game, it might be more difficult to take this farming simulation to heart, as the gameplay is explained far too little and too poorly. This also detracts from the atmosphere of the game. Those who like elaborate technical animations and complex controls and are not put off by a bit of hard work will get their money's worth here. However, I would not give it a general recommendation, as the difference to its predecessor is not that great according to the player forums and many gamers recommend the 2022 version.

Although I was expecting more emphasis on physics in this title, and I only got a fraction of it, I can't say that Farming Simulator 25 is a lousy title. I was most pleased with the new GPS and animal innovations. And I don't think I'll be the only one. We were all definitely expecting a more significant step forward. I believe there is still a lot to improve, and I really hope that in the next version, we will see some new features that will make us all sit on our asses. If the modders can do it, why can't the developers do it?

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.
