However, for all the things you can do in Farming Simulator 15, what really hurts the game is how limited-and newbie unfriendly-the scope of being a farmer actually is. GIANTS have taken the wealth of commands for various actions and somehow managed to compress them onto a DualShock 4.
All of it is done in either first person, or third, from behind the vehicle you’re controlling.
You steer combine harvesters, you cultivate fields with tractors, you even go logging, chopping down trees, or collecting eggs from your chicken coops. On the actual gameplay front, this is a real time-not turn-based-simulator, and everything is pretty hands on. Sound is also a bit limited, with no speech or background music, just the occasional birds, chickens, rainfall and the constant, hypnotic drone of various tractor engines, so get your Spotify account ready to stream. On the other hand, despite the massive size, you can “teleport” from one vehicle to the next across the entire sprawling map, with no loading whatsoever, so while the game is limited in technical prowess, it’s very responsive. However, despite nice graphical touches like dirt accumulating on vehicles, day/night cycles and weather effects, pop up and draw in is evident everywhere, and there are even occasional dips on framerate. The studio has created two massive environments-European and North American farm settings-as the playgrounds for your farming exploits. Having said that, the game gives a LOT of freedom in the way you can tackle being a farmer, just don’t expect to be visually blown away in the process. That’s the “story” of Farming Simulator 15, there’s no real campaign mode to speak of. You’re a farmer and you want to make money to own more property and have better equipment. Now, there’s a current gen console version available, and while in some ways, it’s a worthwhile game, in others, it’s problematic. The franchise has sold over a million copies, and it’s not just families, but actual farmers that sit down and enjoy the game. Believe it or not, Farming Simulator despite not being a big deal in the AAA gaming world, is actually a big enough deal that multiple titles have already been released.
