    AVOID. If you can get past the random crashes that the insomnia engine is famous for, the gameplay is sort of interesting but falls quickly into silly mode.

    At first it appears you have a lot to do and there are lots of options to make for a big farm with very diverse options. And yet, as they did in AgSim2013, Actalogic have failed to properly design a game that, while suggesting    AVOID.

    And yet, as they did in AgSim2013, Actalogic have failed to properly design a game that, while suggesting the potential for BIG farm setups, continues to force downsizing because of seemingly endless clicking and micro-management.

    I can get to multi-million$$ very quickly and setting up just one more paddock gets oh so monotonous. Please, can't we just copy field??!!!

    And the maintenance. wtf? I have to click every machine in every garage multiple times to repair and maintain. Can't I just you know, hire a damn mechanic, I'm a millionaire right?

    My final "stop playing this Maverick" moment came when I needed to grow pumpkins to maximise my piggery. I can't find seed in any town!! I'm a level 16 farmer and I haven't got access to pumpkins!! My KIDS can grow pumpkins.

    Dude. Really.... Where's my pumpkins??

    NOTE: Yes, Steam users have been giving this game a hard time. Among the multiple DO NOT BUY posts are fanbois. The community suspects they are paid shills or dummy accounts. You have been warned.

    At time of writing, UIG is offering this game on Steam their other "famous" title, AgSim 2013 for an extra $3 with their new farming sim, Farming Pro 2014 due out today.

    Note, FP2014 is by a **different developer**. I've ordered my copy (why Maverick, why?????) so watch my space on Metacritic.    … Expand

    Micro Managers dream. Shame it is unplayable. Crashes to Desktop every 10 minutes, buildings randomly freeze up. AVOID in it's current state. With fixes of it's many bugs could turn out to be a decent game.

    It can interest all those who like curious games, but it wears you down with its slow gameplay. [02/2014, p.74]
