made by giant software and published by focus Home Interactive and it is
available now on Xbox ps4 and steam retailing at $50 for consoles and $35 on
Steam farming simulator 19 is the newest installment to the farming simulator
series scheme features many new features and upgrades from the old games while
keeping the same classic gameplay and feel that fans are used to while it is a
pretty realistic simulator it remains accessible to players of all ages the
game is made easy to play by a bunch of different tutorials help menus and
on-screen guides that you can always refer back to or there's probably tons
of tutorials online devoted to the game anyways let's get into this official
review just for reference I have played farming simulator before I had 15 and 17
so I do have some experience with the series now upon starting the game I
immediately noticed that the graphics were massively improved which I assume
is due to their new graphics engine that they are using for this one I'll break
down the graphics a bit more later on there's been some time since I last
played farming simulator so I decided to run through the tutorial missions real
quick just to refresh myself but as I mentioned earlier this game is very easy
for anyone to play after maybe like 10 minutes once you're already like used to
the controls and stuff after the tutorials I went on to start my career
which takes us to the topic of gameplay when you first start career you could
pick 3 different options for your starting difficulty there's new farmer
where you start with some land equipment and money and then there's a second
option which is farm manager where you start with just some money and you don't
get any land or equipment and then the final option is where you start from
scratch where you literally have nothing and here's to take like loans from the
bank and all that to get stuff and then you have to spend your time paying off
your debt I personally chose new farmer just because I prefer to play the game
on a more casual level rather than basically getting another job earlier on
I said that this game keeps its classic style of gameplay
if you're coming from previous farming simulator games you can expect pretty
much the same gameplay you're used to if you're new to the series the gameplay is
frankly mundane but that's not really a bad thing that's exactly how a game like
this should be in my opinion to me that's actually the appeal of this game
you get on you harvest your crops you plow the field you sow your seeds and
possibly throw it on some fertilizer to get things poppin and then you start
over again once you're in the groove of things you can only step it up and not
to buy more land and fields and become a super farmer and manage a bunch of
different fields at once land ownership works a bit differently
now from the previous games you can now buy massive amounts of land and do
whatever you want with it if you want to plant trees and do forestry you could do
that if you want to turn it into a field you could do that you can also increase
the difficulty of different elements in the game you could change different
settings for things like the right you burn fuel don't worry by the way you
could always speed up the game so things will grow faster so you're not just
sitting around kind of like waiting I should have mentioned that earlier
probably you can make it so crops go bad if you don't harvest them in time and
you could set it so your crops can be destroyed if you're driving over them
also just to mention real quick I'm playing with an Xbox one controller for
this gameplay you're seeing in the background but this game can also be
played on a wheel if you've got one or you could always use your keyboard and
mouse if you're on PC just to throw that out there I personally haven't used mine
on this game yet but I have on previous ones and it's alright it's pretty good
but I still kind of prefer the Xbox controller I think I think Logitech even
makes a pretty crazy rig that features a bunch of like buttons and levers and
crazy stuff if you want to go hard and ball out on something like that like
it's $250 that's if you're extreme as for graphics they're actually pretty
great they've redone their graphics engine like I mentioned it truly shows
the old games in my opinion were always a bit flat and lifeless this time around
if you have the hardware this game colloquially really good my only
complaint is that some out of map objects lose quality and look kind of
ugly and I'll hopefully have put an example of what I'm talking about in
this video the main place where I've seen this is like right off the back of
the first farm on the US map it's just kind of like a green blob of a mountain
and it's not a big deal and it certainly doesn't speak for the whole game but it
definitely stands out from the great textures of everything else in the game
the lighting is great colors are vibrant and apart
the amount of contrast together create a feel of warmth and immersion one of my
complaints for most games is that they always like up the contrast so hard that
it's like it's hard to look at this game they got it right other graphical
improvements include more realistic foliage improved lighting and particle
effects and better sky boxes as for content there's more than enough stuff
in this game to keep you satisfied for a long time and definitely for the life of
the game off the bat there's more than 300 vehicles and machines as well as two
maps one is a town in the US and another is a town in Europe the fact that
there's only two maps may seem underwhelming do not fret and here's why
forming simulator has a built-in mod storefront for all versions of the game
and yes this means you can actually model console game right now there isn't
much since the games only been out for a couple days but giant software has
thrown us a bone with a modded map set in South America as well as some
vehicles and extra equipment I think messing with mods may actually prevent
achievements but I don't really care more content especially free content is
better than achievements in the age of the microtransaction I'd give it a few
months and I'm sure there will be plenty of mods to add to your game you may also
be able to add more from other sources if you're on PC I don't know if you
could download some somewhere or something but this is my first time
owning a farming simulator on the PC so I don't really know much about that side
of it alright so to continue with content there are now more missions you
can do people offer you jobs to complete some extra cash granted you have the
equipment to do the job but you can always lease the stuff you need to
complete them if you don't own it and they've also removed the time limits so
you take as long as you need to complete them these also can be completed online
as co-op missions this game also features forestry they've had it for the
past two games now I personally can't stand it but that's only because I don't
have the patience to basically probably a mix of a skill crane claw machine and
some pickup sticks though the equipment is really techy and cool and there isn't
much in this world that's more fun than running around and cutting stuff with a
chainsaw just ask my boy Leatherface they also
added cotton to the game you can plant grow harvest cotton for the first time
in a farming simulator in order to harvest cotton you need to use unique
machinery with dedicated harvesters and trailers all new to farming simulator 19
scheme has animals and the animal stuff which has always
been a pretty ignored feature of these games as returned and it's a bit better
with more animals such as cows sheeps chickens pigs and for the first time a
horses the horses are writable which is pretty cool using to get around if you
don't want to buy a truck or something they've also introduced oats and you can
use those to feed your horses you can also have a pet dog that you can play
fetch with in between tasks to place pens for various animals and breed them
and some animals will also produce manure and slurry that you can use the
fertilizer field and chickens will give you eggs and cows they'll give you milk
and stuff people give you a wool the game does feature multiplayer 16 players
on PC 6 on console and multiplayer players can have up to eight separate
farms each with its own land vehicles equipment on the same map and it creates
a bit of friendly competition if you want to have the best farm one of my
only complaints for this game is that there is no VR support it would have
been nice to have I like my simulators to have VR because you get like a little
more immersive gameplay from it and it's cool but I do understand that VR is not
like a common thing it's also very resource-intensive not only on the
development side but also the hardware side and not everybody has a PC that can
run VR especially on a game that's like as detailed this farming simulator so it
all makes sense so at the end of the day the question is should you skip the game
altogether wait for a sale or buy it now first I'm gonna speak to the players
from previous farming simulator games or those who enjoy the genre the popular
consensus of this game seems to be that it almost feels like a DLC for the
previous ones well I do agree that's slightly true I would also disagree and
say that the boy better graphics engine and extra features as well as it just
being a newer game make it worthy of a buy there just won't be as many mods for
a little bit but they will come eventually as more people buy the game
and people will remake their old mods for this game it'll happen
personally I'm completely satisfied with the game especially at this price point
of 35 on the PC I would say buy it it's also a perfect time to pick it up if
you're in the US Thanksgiving break is about to start for people the time is
always my favorite time to dig into a new sim game like this and winter break
is coming soon as well now to those who don't play many sim games I do know
there's a bit of a stigma to this sort of game
whenever I talk about explain flight simulator iRacing project cars car
mechanic simulator other farming simulators to my none simple eyeing
friends I might as well be talking about filing taxes or something like that
people don't get the appeal but I was also like that at one point to be honest
I bought farming simulator 15 which is the first one I owned in a bit of a
joking manner cuz I was like oh why not it's on sale but I quickly found out
that it was a perfect mix of interesting relaxing and challenging to become one
of my favorite series it's a great game to put on some good music pour yourself
a nice drink or something and farm the hell out of a field with some buddies to
basically what my conclusion is is whether you decide to buy the game or
not don't let the stigma that's around something be what makes your decision
for you you never know what you're gonna like until you try it I love how it just
got kind of deep in a farming simulator review anyways I hope this review helped
