My experience with Farming Simulator 25 has been very positive. The game has evolved in practically every aspect: graphics, gameplay, content, and realism. It manages to be relaxing, but at the same time challenging, mainly because of the weather and farm **** those who are already fans of the franchise, this is a must-have upgrade. And for those who have never played, this is a great entry point. Without a doubt, Farming Simulator 25 is the best Farming Simulator released so far. Google: Patobah

Previous Games - This is an ongoing series of games set in the farming world; their previous game was Farming Simulator 23 for mobile and Nintendo, which linked to Farming Simulator 22. Originality - Giants' studio is one of the first companies to make such a precise game around the farming world as most competitors have basic farming functionality as an addition to the main game but this is where this game is different, instead of farming being a small mini game inside of the main game as a bit of padding to the main story this game is all about farming with a countless amount of machines and ways to play the game. This is the only game that I willingly purchase at release, regardless of their previous game, because unlike EA with their football/soccer games, this game always evolves drastically from its previous release. Consistency/Fun - I find this game drastically enjoyable and that is granted through the countless ways of playing from doing basic contracts at the start with nothing and building up to a farming empire via the use of the 23 different crops for a game revolving around a field or using greenhouses and being able to grow 10 different plants in a small form factor which will require a tedious amount of forklift usage or if you don’t like the business management part you can also start out with millions and play this game as you would Minecraft in creative. There are many ways of playing this game, which just makes the game very re-playable and enjoyable in the long term. Difficulty - This game is not the easiest to adjust to; it may require a lot of extensive research on the game’s mechanics and even research on real-life farming. Ideally, if you have never played a game from this franchise (or farmed in real life), it would be best to play with a friend who has because there are many mechanics that people who haven’t invested hundreds of thousands of hours into this game won’t be familiar with, and all this leads to is premature quitting. Gameplay - Farming Simulator 25 has no ending. This is a crucial thing to remember: you must be creative and constantly set goals for yourself, which shouldn’t be too hard, as there is always a different you can do to increase profits. Replay value - Even though this game never ends, you may want a new start. The best part of this game is the beginning, where you must strategize every single one of your moves, and luckily, starting fresh isn’t annoying because of the countless crops, production chains, farming methods, and animals you can tend to. Modability - Farming simulator has always and will always have a strong modding community, and even Giants Software makes mods for the community, such as their precise farming mod, which makes the game even harder and even more realistic. Modding is available in the vanilla version of the game on both PC and console, but PC does have a larger array of mods compared to console as they can run more extensive code and download mods from the internet, whereas console is locked to the in-game mod menu which in my option is more than enough already, it always guarantees greater safety for the user. Platforms and Storage - Farming Simulator 25 is available on: PC (Digital and Physical) (This includes both Windows and Linux) MAC PS4/5 Xbox series X|S and Xbox one Storage: Around 18GB Cost - At the current time of writing, during the Autumn Steam sale, the base game is 20% off, but normally the base game costs £42.42. The year 1 pass with access to all the DLCs as they release costs £61.67 Graphics - This game has the best graphics compared to their older games, but if you like hyper-realistic, breath-taking graphics, then the graphics could be better. The attention to detail with environmental factors is extremely impressive as seen with vehicles getting stuck in mud, rain system which isn't only graphical and the ground deformations due to different vehicles and different weight makes the game so much more immersive and enjoyable. The environmental aspects isn’t surprising given that the whole game's point is sowing and harvesting. Stability - This game is currently quite stable without any game-breaking bugs that the average user will experience. Multiplayer - The online aspect works flawlessly but the only downside is for the average user who wants to set up a 24 hour home server they will not be able to set up a server on a separate machine such as a raspberry pi as the game for one forces the owner of the server to buy two copies of the game + DLCs - one for the server and the other for themselves as a client and another issue is that the game doesn’t offer a stable linux server file meaning they will have to have a strong enough computer to have the game running with graphics and an active session.

A worthy successor to the last entry in the franchise. This title has had some performance and bug issues since Launch Day, but Giants has been very responsive and is continuously putting out updates to alleviate these QOL issues and bugs. Gameplay has been tweaked since the last title, and it shows in the stunning visuals and almost cinematic dynamic weather and lighting system.
