    Folks, Farming Simulator 25 is a massive game with this version being even more extensive than it's predecessors. All of the vehicles and attachment tools carry their real world brand names, so Giant Software has all of the aspects of a very good farm simulator game lined up perfectly. Even though the worker AI could be improved upon, it works fine. The environment is interactive and it contains various weather situations like rain in the summer and snow in the winter. In addition to that, fog can often times be present at night and especially in the early mornings so be careful driving on the narrow and curvy country farm roads. Luckily, I haven't see my crops being blown away by a tornado yet, but as one of the new features to the game this year, but I'll certainly be aware of them when I plant my next crop.

    The LS25 is a content powerhouse with technical improvements. But buyers of its predecessor may be disappointed.

    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.

    The LWS 25 does a lot right and expands a proven game concept with useful innovations. Fans get their money's worth.

    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.

    Farming Simulator 25 is not a game for everyone, that much is clear. It is a complex title, and only those who approach it with certain types of mentality will be able to survive its seasons. Curiously, however, once you understand how it works it can also be extremely relaxing, thanks to the methodical nature of its cycles and mechanics, the calm that the sounds of nature transmit, the chirping and rustling of leaves under the pouring rain, even when in the background there is the roar of a tractor. The only shame is that there are technical problems that currently undermine its enjoyment and weaken its visual impact at times, and that we hope will be resolved as soon as possible.

    Farming Simulator 25 is a bit like the latest iPhones – no extravagance, no revolution, a slightly improved, familiar product for regular customers. If you are one of them, you surely already have a pre-order. And if not - there is something to complain about.

    If you want to start a new life in industrial agriculture but can't afford to move to the country, this game is the next best thing.

    Farming Simulator 25 is the best title of its kind, both because it is the result of years of iterations and because it lacks motivated competition. That said, it's genuinely hard to recommend or discourage its purchase, as much depends on how intrigued you are by the idea of playing it. If you've tried a Farming Simulator in the past, you can expect a straightforward refinement of that formula. However, if you're looking to start your farming journey now, you can safely begin here, and you won't be disappointed—just bear in mind that there are plenty of fields to plow before you become a true farmer.

    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.

    Another installment, another predictable outcome. Farming Simulator remains an engrossing journey into the world of agriculture, capable of devouring hundreds of hours with its almost zen-like gameplay. However, for every exciting new feature or moment of enjoyment, there’s a lingering thought that it’s time for a more significant overhaul.

    Farming Simulator makes a less-than-triumphant return, with its latest entry buckling under the weight of bugs, performance issues, and bad UI.
