    This game is the surprise of 2021 for me.

    After being seriously let down by Battlefield and several other AAA titles this year, I thought I'd finally give this series a try. And while the game isn't perfect, it deserves a perfect score in my opinion here's why: -Amazing graphical detail, considering this is a sim game.

    After being seriously let down by Battlefield and several other AAA titles this year, I thought I'd finally give this series a try. And while the game isn't perfect, it deserves a perfect score in my opinion here's why:

    -Amazing graphical detail, considering this is a sim game. I would put the machinery models up there with games like Flight Simulator and Gran Turismo. You can see how much work the artists put into these. I don't know a lot about farming equipment but now I have a new appreciation for it.

    -Extremely flexible gameplay settings. This allows you to basically play anything from creative/easy mode, to a fully hardcore experience. One of those games where it seems there's no wrong way to play it.

    -This game has elements of Stardew Valley and Cities Skylines for me. Management is fun, gameplay is satisfying, and it seems like an avalanche of content (especially when you have in-game cash)

    -I've only played on one map so far, but I've checked out all 3 and they are all unique and worth starting a farm on.

    Here are some cons:

    -The game only holds your hand for about 20 minutes. After that you have to figure stuff out (Youtube videos helped me). Here's a tip though...do contracts (avoid harvest contracts, they're bugged) and borrow the equipment. This way, you learn what everything does. It's a trial by fire, but a lot of sim games are.

    -Draw distances for crops are kind weak, especially for PS5. Wish the game would prioritize rendering the crops on the field im working on, so I can see my progress better.

    Overall, this game is way more polished and fun than I was expecting. Highly recommend to anyone who likes Train Sim World, Cities Skylines, Stardew Valley, No Man's Sky, etc    … Expand

    Pros:
    - Improved graphics
    - Machines sound much better
    - Animal and human animations improved
    - Textures are better
    - Seasons and production chains are great.
    - Nice to be able to customise the character.

    Cons:
    - No terrain physics which is a big loss for me. It would make a big difference on how you play. Imagine muddy when rainy and you get stuck etc. ( other farming game managed to do that just fine.)
    - Still you can’t properly lift pallets with front loader forks, easier with a Forklift though.
    - Vehicle turn so quick when you are at a certain speed.
    - No third person view

    Overall I’m happy, if this is a sim, you should be able to get terrain physics. Maybe they’ll do that in Season Pass (in pack 2 description says ‘This will drive you crazy! ) I will sure get crazy if I stuck in the mud!    … Expand

    Very good game. Doesn't really get boring because it has collectibles and many other things. It perfectly simulates farming.

    Der Beste Landwirtschafts Simulator den es je gab und die Produktionen heben das Erlebnis deutlich

    The game is good, the graphics are also good ones, but there is not so much new thing as the last one.

    Farming Simulator features a huge list of vehicles, machines and more, to present farming life as complete as possible. GIANTS succeeds once again with this new part in the franchise. The multiplayer is fun, there is plenty to do, the integration of seasons is a valuable addition and we could go on and on. However, the tutorials could be better for newcomers and the world is a bit dead.

    Farming Simulator 2022 continues the ten-year tradition of agricultural simulator, bringing some nice innovations but with little depth.

    If you’ve been chomping at the proverbial bit, in preparation for Farming Simulator 22, most likely you are going to be extremely pleased with this outing. It takes the more surface-level mechanics found in prior installments and then builds upon them immensely. While it certainly has its fair share of issues such as terrible AIs and tutorials, which hopefully can be improved through post-release patches, this new level of depth helps drive the franchise well into the PlayStation 5 era. Using this year as a foundation, I can’t wait to see where the series goes in the future.
