Farming Simulator 15

Yearly update to the Farming Simulator offers the best digital farming experience available. Grinding money will keep you occupied for a while, but eventually you want something more. If only the game had a story and GTA-ish approach to game design, they would make this game series an instant cult classic. [Jan 2015]

Farming Simulator 15 is the best agricultural simulation on the market, with some flaws that prevent it to excel.

Because of its realistic approach, Farming Simulator 2015 is a good simulator. It is particularly fun to do the reaping together with somebody else. Thanks to the new engine, the farming looks a lot better than before. Too bad the hiring of workers and the added wood chop options are so lousy.

Again, Farming Simulator 15 is an excellent sim that offers a lot of content at a pretty high quality. The makers do need to step it up a bit when it comes to certain elements.

Farming Simulator requires a decent bit of commitment before it becomes enjoyable, but building a profitable farm comes with a unique satisfaction that might tickle your fancy in a way no other game does.

The new engine and the new foresting gameplay elements fit well into the classic farming setting of the series. The farming features are tweaked a little, but overall it feels just the same like in Farming Simulator 13, but technically enhanced. The Day-One Patch fixed some bugs, but still existing physical-problems and gameplay issues in version 1.1, especially in multiplayer mode, have to be handled with forthcoming patches.

Farming Simulator 15 is a well-engineered simulator and farm management game with a much broader appeal than what the setting might suggest. The level of detail of the machines is impressive, and it’s a joy to explore and control all the different machines and equipment available in this slow-paced game.

Farming Simulator 15 is not for everyone but if you enjoyed farming simulators than you've come to the right place!

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.

The main problem with this 2015 edition is the almost complete lack of anything new, from vehicles to locations. If you've never played the game, this might still be a good starting point, but you'd probably better stick with the 2013 edition, the most complete to date.

Overall, the new Farming Simulator could have been so much better. On our wish list for a next installment are a reasonable campaign to improve accessibility and ... a radio. It is time that we hear more than just the loud tractor hum, but also the country radio.

An exercise in tedium, Farming Simulator 15 has a very laudable compromise with the recreation of agriculture, but its problematic progression, poor presentation and general dullness detract from its genuine potential as the best simulator on the subject.

Farming Simulator 15 has some improvements, lots of things remain unchanged, and some are even worse than before. Woodcutting and prettier graphics are welcome additions but a ton of simple programming mistakes and a comical driving model cast a shadow on all the good things. As usual - the game is uneven and many parts of the gameplay need to be fixed. Still, fans should be pleased.

Solid but boring simulation based on a decent visual foundation.

Achieving success in Farming Simulator 15 comes down to repeating a couple of actions mindlessly and pertinaciously. [13/2014, p.53]

The tractors look great, but the rest of Farming Simulator 15 comes off like shovelware from 2012.
