    I grew up on a farm. Though this title claims to be a farming simulator, it's nothing like real farming. Don't get me wrong, you'll probably cuss out your tractor as much as you would IRL. This game is so "sim" that it's no fun at all. It places handicaps on beginner level items that would never exist IRL.

It places handicaps on beginner level items that would never exist IRL. (Like the fact that you start out not even being able to harvest a whole row of wheat before you have to drive the terribly controlled tractor across the farm, dump it, hop in another tractor, go across the map again to the dump station, repeat). I'm told it gets better eventually, but it's just not enough fun to pump hours into. It takes all the most menial, time consuming, repetitive tasks in farming and makes them the whole show. It is the worst game I've played on the new consoles. Expand

    It’s an acquired taste, and if its appeal lies solely with those of you yearning for a title that allows you to get behind the wheel of wondrously modelled tractors and farming machinery, then this is absolutely the game for you. For the rest of us, it will continue to remain a mystery.

    Farming life simulator has many tools and vehicles in order to get the best out of the farming business. Sadly, the development of the gameplay mechanics and the time you need to invest on it will make many turn most people off.

    You realise that you've been driving across the same square of virtual earth for half of a real-life hour, and you feel empty inside. [Aug 2015, p.90]
