    Sadly developers have yet to solve the inaccessibility for newcomers, as the learning curve is a sheer cliff to overcome. Still a niche genre, Farming Simulator 22 is a complex and accurate representation of real world farming, and while virtual farmers will no doubt spend over a thousand hours once again in the latest version, newcomers are still going to be left wondering how others could find the monotonous grind entertaining. Those that know, know, so let the good times grow.

    Farming Simulator as a franchise just gets better with every new release and that’s the case with Farming Simulator 22. The purists and experts might argue that this hasn’t gone far enough, adding in just a few new features, but with cross-play multiplayer, the brilliant seasonal farming, and supply chains coming to console, there is certainly enough to keep those winter evenings flying by.

    While Farming Simulator 22 will undoubtedly appeal to fans of the series, newcomers may feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. However, it would be a shame to miss this episode since it corrects most of the faults of the previous part. Vehicle modeling is always more precise and the arrival of the seasons or even production lines is a real plus. Now it's up to you to see if you are ready to immerse yourself in this experience, which is as complete as it is difficult to master.

    Farming Simulator 22 has improved compared to previous releases. From small things like driving, which is still not perfect, to the physics that have to do with weight, terrain, and the type of machinery. There is also, of course, the new game mechanics that enrich the experience making it deeper. Its problems lie in how difficult it can be for a new player to understand what to do in the game, as well as how un-rewarding the game will be with your effort, are things that can discourage players and make them simply stop playing.

    Farming Simulator 22 is an experience that does just enough to be entertaining, while being a little punishing to the newcomers of the franchise.

    If you've ever dreamt of owning your own farm, or simply ploughing, fertilising, spraying, and cultivating someone else's land, then Farming Simulator 22 will cater to your every whim and want. Newcomers beware, though – the barrier to entry is quite high.

    Farming Simulator 22 manages to scratch the itch of any hardcore simulator fan looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life for some time in an idyllic rural setting where they can raise livestock and produce. The mechanics can be a little convoluted for new players, but online multiplayer and a robust modding community can help anybody become an experienced farmhand.

Also, the new vehicles and their equipment, as well as the possibility to operate with animals, is always fun and enjoyable. The game modes and the new character editor are successful and let you spend hours on the console and PC. The gaming experience is straightforward and very enjoyable in the long run. If you like to play a different title, you should definitely give Farming Simulator 22 a chance, and if you are a fan of the series, it's a must buy. Full Review »

    Too frequent fps drops are slightly off putting (playing on xbox series x). Apart from that if you are addicted to farm simulators then thisToo frequent fps drops are slightly off putting (playing on xbox series x). Apart from that if you are addicted to farm simulators then this is currently the best there is out there. Love that they added some good mods from the start on consoles as well. Seasons are nice, but I personally turned them off, as it just became too much to keep tabs of, and it slows down income a lot in the start game, but I do understand the challenge and fun with it once you have the money to do other stuff while you wait for the right season to harvest and sell. That's the great thing about this sim, you can just do what you want and play however you like. I just hope they fix the frame drops. Full Review »
