Farming Simulator 17 Review
Farming Simulator is one of those franchises that has been going on for quite some time now depsite its relative lack of ads, commercial appeal, or vocal fan base. Cashing in on the simulator craze that’s taken over the latter half of this decade, Farming Simulator 17 is here and the series is still going strong, which is why this yearly instalment keeps coming back. While this isn’t a title for everyone, and it lacks quite a bit of polish, there is a lot to like in this open world farming sim for long time players. But for those who are new to the franchise, it might be confusing, absurd, choppy, and yet somehow addictive.
For those unfamiliar with how Farming Simulator games work, FS 17 features a set of basic tutorials to get city folk up to speed with the fundamentals of farming: ploughing, seeding, harvesting and the like, as well as the basics of animal care, husbandry, and the machinery required for different tasks. The newest game in the series has also added a pause help section, enabling new players to stop what they’re doing and read up on the intricacies of the current task. It’s an invaluable tool to new players and should be handy for old hands as well.
Successfully maintaining a farm is a process somewhat similar to creating a massive Rube Goldberg machine in which the player is a moving part. Each aspect of your farm should have a knock on effect on another. In the beginning it’s a matter of making sure your fields are ploughed, seeded, and optimally fertilised to maximise profits. This might involve having a diverse crop so as to offset the volatility of the market, or it could be focussing on a single high yield crop that offsets the relatively lower market price with bulk.
This is not a game for everyone, that’s for sure. There is clearly a niche that really enjoys it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that niche consists of actual farmers. It’s kind of hard to jump into, and can be incredibly slow, but if you’re patient, there’s a lot of reward that comes with running a successful farm. That doesn’t excuse its lack of polish or repetitive gameplay, but it does mean something. What that is, I’m not sure, but I can’t say I hated Farming Simulator 17, in fact, I couldn’t put my controller down. If you have a high tolerance for a lack of technical polish, and are patient enough to really dedicate yourself, this could be up your alley. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I believe my crops need fertilizing.
