    This is simply the best chapter of the series.

    Farming Simulator 17 is a game that I would almost argue should be put into schools, because I see real value in using it to highlight what the life of a farmer involves, and that would in turn be valuable in raising awareness around the kinds of challenges that food supply faces in the years ahead. It’s still a game, don’t get me wrong, and a simple, but effective one at that. It’s also the most accessible it has ever been thanks to tutorials that actually work. But beyond that, Farming Simulator 17 is the best kind of game; it’s a game that offers more than just entertainment.

    If you have even a tiny bit of interest in this subject, you won't go wrong with buying Farming Simulator 17. And, admit it, it was about time to send that old FarmVille down the drain.

    Farming Simulator 17 makes sure you are comfortable and it is totally up to you how you spend your time. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, and without you knowing, this might be all you ever wanted.

    Without any doubt, this is the best Farming Simulator ever. It's not perfect, but adds a few key elements to improve the unique experience.

    Farming Simulator 17 is the best version to date, and if you’ve ever been curious about what the genre is all about, now’s the best time to experiment with something a little different. However, it’s not a title that will appeal to everyone. This is after all a game about watching digital grass grow.

    Farming Simulator 17 is the natural evolution of the work done by Giants Software. The title does not revolutionize the game mechanics but adds a few key elements to improve the experience in the first few hours of play. Too bad the cosmetic component is not yet matching the actual games.

    I’m still kind of confused regarding how I feel about this game, but I can’t stop playing.

    The work done for this year edition is commendable, in terms of contents and from a technical standpoint. The game, however, remains what it has always been: a strict simulator, that requires dedication and hard work.

    Farming Simulator 17 speaks to a specific market segment, and that segment only. If you are not into agriculture, you will be guaranteed to be bored. For those who love farming, FS17 has a lot to offer.

    It's still an acquired taste, and you're going to need to be patient to get the most out of it, but if you've ever dreamed of being an agricultural extraordinaire, then this is a series now very much in its hay-day.

    Lots of depth and freedom give Farming Simulator 17 quite the edge when compared to its predecessors. However, a truckload of bugs, a lack of innovation and an overabundance on repetitive gameplay elements keep this farmer from earning maximum profit.

    Jolly ranchers will appreciate the high levels of detail, while city slickers will fall asleep at their tractor's wheel.

    There are many times when it feels less like a game and more like some elaborate joke to troll you. Put a podcast on when you play and it's an okay way to pass the time. Otherwise, it might lead to sensory deprivation.

    Unless you are down for hours of aimless fieldwork, it may be best to avoid this rustic chore.

    The only fun in Farming Simulator 17 comes from you, and when you need to actively search for fun in a game, you know you’re not dealing with a good one.

    There is an attempt to make Farming Simulator 17 entertaining, but it’s a rather poor one. Dull, uninventive, and drier than sandpaper on crackers.
