It’s an acquired taste, and if its appeal lies solely with those of you yearning for a title that allows you to get behind the wheel of wondrously modelled tractors and farming machinery, then this is absolutely the game for you. For the rest of us, it will continue to remain a mystery.

Farming life simulator has many tools and vehicles in order to get the best out of the farming business. Sadly, the development of the gameplay mechanics and the time you need to invest on it will make many turn most people off.

You realise that you've been driving across the same square of virtual earth for half of a real-life hour, and you feel empty inside. [Aug 2015, p.90]

Farming Simulator 15 was okay, but it didn’t really stand out. The farming mechanics were realistic, but the gameplay became dull and repetitive over time. It’s not bad, but it didn’t keep me interested for long.

I want to like this game more, but there's one thing that kills it for me: the ability to speed up time by up to 120x. It kills all the need to be efficient because you can always just speed things up. Also, the game doesn't progress in many ways other than size. Start with a small field and a small harvester, work your way up to bigger fields with a bigger harvester. There aren't many enticing things to spend your money on to encourage you to build a mega-profitable farm. If they can find away to introduce challenge other than just testing your patience, then this could be a good game.

I grew up on a farm. Though this title claims to be a farming simulator, it's nothing like real farming. Don't get me wrong, you'll probably cuss out your tractor as much as you would IRL. This game is so "sim" that it's no fun at all. It places handicaps on beginner level items that would never exist IRL. (Like the fact that you start out not even being able to harvest a whole row of wheat before you have to drive the terribly controlled tractor across the farm, dump it, hop in another tractor, go across the map again to the dump station, repeat). I'm told it gets better eventually, but it's just not enough fun to pump hours into. It takes all the most menial, time consuming, repetitive tasks in farming and makes them the whole show. It is the worst game I've played on the new consoles.

While there are a few missions to partake in via mission points on the map, the game really had no ultimate goal other than to grow your farm, and prosper. While it might seem a bit disappointing there isn’t anything else to the game, I’ll admit it’s a relaxing experience in a lot of ways.

There is something inherently relaxing about hearing cows moo in the distance while I drive a tractor to my cornfield at sunrise. And, when I feel lazy I can hire someone to drive my tractor for me. Back and forth. Up and down. Back and forth. It’s mesmerizing and boring all at the same time; and so is Farming Simulator 2015.

Scoring a 10/10 on this chart, dont jump into this game with high hopes of a thrilling experience and a gripping story because, well, there really isnt one. I find this game casually appealing and a relaxing during the times of gaming distress. You can plant and harvest, chop trees, and drive tractors during your grind to make money. The game is very time consuming and provided me with hours of dullness but that is what you pay for so know what this game is before jumping into it. Pros: Casual, easy paced game, simple driving, open world Cons: Gameplay, dullness, controls, lack of plot

Console users may be baffled, as this is the first time Farming Simulator comes to Sony and Microsoft home entertainment platforms. Still, it's a unique experience, albeit very slow, and you might find the unexpected while tending to your fields.

Farming Simulator 15 is a game which offers quite some depth for people fanatic enough to invest time in it. However, due to it's unbalanced gameplay and disappointing graphics, not many players will muster such enthusiasm.

A terrible video game and still a terrible attempt at simulating owning a farm, with unbearably boring and bug-ridden gameplay.
