Oct 18, 2013Farming and breeding must be a very boring and repetitive activity, or at least this is what Farming Simulator 2013 makes us believe. Giants Software made a pretty impressive reproduction of the farming activities and tools, but they totally forgot that a game needs to entertain or at least involve its public.

Sep 10, 2013Farming Simulator 2013 is made from the perspective of a vehicle simulator, through the spectacles of a carpenter for the many agricultural machines. Although the farming simulation and economical parts have been well developed, it misses the controversial essential elements that made the PC-version so interesting. The challenge that we praised in that edition, doesn't live up to expectations, which makes the most expensive version of the game the most limited as well.

Sep 12, 2013Farming Simulator 2013 is unintentionally entertaining at times, providing retrospective moments of amusement with its dodgy physics and tedious activities. But while it may capture the long, gruelling process of maintaining a farm, it doesn't do enough to maintain your attention.

Sep 10, 2013Don’t be fooled by the funny YouTube vids, Farming Simulator 2013 is less fun than mad cow disease.

Dec 13, 2013At 30 bucks, Farming Simulator 2013 mainly reminds us why the expression “bought the farm” has such negative connotations.

Sep 13, 2013I wouldn’t have missed a thing if this “game” would have stayed away from consoles. This is just a boring, technically absolutely unimpressive simulation that fails at the only thing it should rather do well: Simulate.

Oct 18, 2013Thank God our daily bread and cereal is not dependent on this game.

Oct 2, 2013Overall, Farming Simulator does not feel like a simulator – if the point of the game is to offer a realistic experience of what it’s like to run a farm, the game fails: people never fatigue (your staff will work straight through the 24-clock if left unattended), livestock produce is harvested by AI automatically and there’s a few game-breaking exploits that completely undermine the game.

Sep 26, 2013Monotonous enough to make a grown man cry.

Sep 12, 2013All it had to do was actually simulate farming. That, apparently, is too much to ask from a game called Farming Simulator. In its own weird way, the complete lack of ambition shown by this underdog has disappointed me more than any lacklustre blockbuster ever will.

Sep 13, 2013Surreally awful on almost every level, the strangest thing about Farming Simulator is how little effort it makes at… simulating farming.
