#Farming simulator 2013 how to#
Players are taught how to harvest crops and sow seeds and then dumped into the world to fend for themselves, which I personally found rather jarring. The lack of a meaty tutorial section is also somewhat problematic. This allows the game to stay accessible to new players, as well as offering some extra challenge for players who wish to test their skills in multiple playthroughs. Players are given the choice of two farms, both of which offer varying gameplay experiences, and three difficulty modes. The appeal is similar to that of Animal Crossing, only far less successful, in this case. The lack of a final goal may prove uncomfortable for some players, but others will enjoy the lack of given objectives.
There is no real "endgame state" the aim is simply to make money from keeping a farm. These are little more than fetch-quests in many cases, and add very little to the overall experience. The rest of the game is spent in the first-person, wandering between objectives and completing the odd side-mission. It's not exactly thrilling, but for anyone to whom the idea of a farming game appeals, this will likely not matter. Most of the game time is taken up by watching a tractor travel across a field, occasionally turning it and operating its various functions. The practice of doing so is somewhat dull, to say the least. Gameplay consists of a selection of menial farming-related tasks players sow seeds, harvest crops and sell them on for profit. So how well does Farming Simulator hold up? Read on to find out!įrom a coldly critical standpoint, Farming Simulator is less than stellar. How can I fairly assess a game that clearly wasn't made for me? In order to overcome this, I'll be judging both its merits as a game and how well it serves its intended purpose, as well as sprinkling in my own personal opinion.
