    Farming Simulator 17 is excellent, and has already become my number one go-to “Zen game”. If I’ve had a stressful day, or if I’m just feeling particularly anxious, I can stick Netflix on and quietly tend to my perfect little farm. With its attention to detail, wonderful environments and depth of simulation, if a quiet, relaxing time looking after a farm is something you’d be interested in, you’d be hard-pressed to find something that better fits the bill than this.

    Farming Simulator 17 combines the simulation of life in the fields to an economic farm management. The result of this combination is a good game, despite a non perfect net code and some minor bugs.

    Despite all the simplifications (e.g. plants need just a couple of days to grow) there’s something addictive about FS17 that makes you switch off your thinking and just farm, farm, farm. [01/2017, p.59]

However, it seems the developers are are well aware that each of their creations will be considered the best of the genre and use this as an excuse to be lazy, having objects interact with each other in only the most minor of ways. This leads to ridiculous and cartoonish behavior of player controllable vehicles. Not to mention they have a history of charging a lot for minor content DLC. The games feel like a developer taking their audience for granted instead of striving to make their game the best it could be. But at its core, Farming Simulator 17 is thoroughly enjoyable, and does a great job of providing you with the freedom to manage your farm any way you see fit. With a little more work, the next incarnation of this game could take audiences by storm. Full Review »
