    If you do happen to be a driving simulator fan and already played this on another platform, then the question is—is it worth it to double-dip for the Switch version? GIANTS Software has done a great job at preserving the core Farming Simulator experience here on Switch, so you’ll certainly feel right at home. If you’re willing to give up mods, multiplayer and DLC in exchange for portability, then I’d say the Switch Edition does deserve a look. But, I have to note that it is a letdown that the Switch Edition is currently going for $50. That is rather high considering the missing content and year-later release.

    The experience also naturally fits with the Nintendo Switch and handheld gaming.

    I can't imagine anyone beating Giants' offering when it comes to Farming Simulator 18. If you're looking to relax and feel the digital earth between your digital hands, this one's a keeper. Recommended.

    Still on Nintendo Switch, Farming Simulator is the best simulation of farm life in the videogame world.

I see some critics onlineThis game is the full PC version Farming Simulator 17 for your Switch folks. Finally we can take it on the go. I see some critics online reviewing the game itself which is ridiculous. Most of us already know what we are getting into. I am here to tell everybody that this is a solid port of the game. For those who are not familiar with this game, check the Steam reviews for the PC version.… Full Review »

I thought the combination of L, R and L&R + buttons is ingenious to toggle up the array of tools and controls. After awhile it becomes second nature.

    I have not played it docked but absolutely have no beef with the graphics when undocked - they are crisp and sharp enough for mobile play. The machines, animals and farm furniture look great (failing eyesight like mine helps perhaps) Really you don't need to look at the horizon in the far yonder to benchmark the graphics when all the action is up close (and you do need to hustle and get the land tilled!). And up close, the game looks beautiful.

    Too much action games on my plate of late (SMO, BOTW (still!) and I have been spending many hours on Flame in the Flood and Farm Simulator instead - where proceedings are .. calmer. Great purchase for me. No regrets    … Full Review »

    One of the best looking games ive played so far on the Switch. Only thing missing is some kind of multiplayer.
