Farming Simulator 17 Reviews
For me, it's that aspect of Farming Simulator 2017 that feels the most at odds with itself. When you're manually mixing feed or loading up bales of hay with a front-loader, the game feels like it lives up to the notion of being called a simulator. As deep as the simulation can get, it stops short of introducing any driving forces to anything you do, short of your own curiosity. How far that will get you into the game is very dependent on your own drive and, ironically, how much relaxation you can handle.
The work done for this year edition is commendable, in terms of contents and from a technical standpoint. The game, however, remains what it has always been: a strict simulator, that requires dedication and hard work.

The difficulty with Farming Simulator is there’s a lot about it that is so wide of the mark it’s easy to dismiss it. Even the subject matter alone will make many people assume it’s a joke, and see above for the many faults with it. But once you get used to all of that, it’s fine. It’s not Civilization or Theme Hospital, but I certainly found myself wanting to return to it, and still do now.
I’m still kind of confused regarding how I feel about this game, but I can’t stop playing.
Simply the best farm game out there. It may not be visually stunning or polished, but it's a solid offers for those who enjoy this kind of simulators.

Once you get over initial learning curve the addiction to the game will begin to set in. Growing and harvesting crops is surprisingly fun. Learning about all the different machines and how to use them is fun all on its own. You will constantly strive toward getting more efficient in your farming techniques. There is so much enjoyment to be had in upgrading your machines and simply growing your farm. Watching the money roll into your bank account makes this game far more addictive than you might expect.
If you're looking for an easy going simulation of what it is to be a farmer, or even if you're looking for a more immersive version of Farmville, then you'll definitely get a kick out of Farming Simulator 17. If you're not a fan of watching root veg slowly pop out of the ground, then you won't enjoy this unfortunately.
Farming Simulator 17 is the best kind of game; it’s a game that offers more than just entertainment.
Farming Simulator 17 is the natural evolution of the work done by Giants Software. The title does not revolutionize the game mechanics but adds a few key elements to improve the experience in the first few hours of play. Too bad the cosmetic component is not yet matching the actual games.

Farming Simulator 17 is the best version to date, and if you’ve ever been curious about what the genre is all about, now’s the best time to experiment with something a little different. However, it’s not a title that will appeal to everyone. This is after all a game about watching digital grass grow.
Lots of tractors. Hens. Trailers. People driving tractors. Combine harvesters. No train on train track.
Without any doubt, this is the best Farming Simulator ever. It's not perfect, but adds a few key elements to improve the unique experience.

It’s a Zen like experience for me in that it’s relaxing, therapeutic, and just easy to lose track of time in. No bosses, no time limits, no artificial difficulty, just farming. I’m completely OK with that.
