  5.0

  Farming Simulator 2013 is a very basic simulation. You’ll repeat the same actions enough times to make you wish you could dive in front of a thresher, and once you’re able to abandon tedious labor for micromanagement, you’ll be tired of staring at your lifeless cows and pixelated fields. There’s no option to violate the livestock, which immediately diminishes any semblance of realism, and everything looks like it was produced for the GameCube.

  Farming Simulator is nowhere near ripe enough for an unwavering recommendation, but budding agronomists will unearth the seeds of a compelling experience germinating beneath its grubby exterior. The title’s got more warts than an infected potato, but if you’re itching for something a little out of the ordinary, there’s the husk of an enjoyable husbandry excursion here.

  Overall Farming Simulator is a purely basic simulator game. You plant, you cultivate, you harvest, you sell. That is the process over and over, with repetitive missions cropping unless you turn them off. If you’ve ever wanted to run a farm, then this is for you, but other than that there’s no real need for the game on console.asic simulator game. You plant, you cultivate, you harvest, you sell.

  The combination of the excellent community, unwavering focus on running the business, and the simplicity of the controls and your responsibilities creates a unique business simulation that rewards you proportionally to the amount of work you put into it. I’ve genuinely enjoyed playing it, and I’ll continue to do so even after this review is posted. It’s not the prettiest or deepest business simulator, but it would be folly to just dismiss it because of its subject matter. If you are patient and interested in a relaxing game without absolute winning or losing conditions, give it a try.

  3.0

  Even with its limited budget and bargain basement production values, Farming Simulator should have been one of those games. All it had to do was actually simulate farming. That, apparently, is too much to ask from a game called Farming Simulator. In its own weird way, the complete lack of ambition shown by this underdog has disappointed me more than any lacklustre blockbuster ever will.

  Ohne Witz: Ich hatte beim Testen von Landwirtschaftssimulator 2013 oft damit zu kämpfen, nicht während des Spielens einzuschlafen. Immer schwerer wurden meine Augenlider und die zunehmende Gähnfrequenz war nicht etwa Folge von Sauerstoff- oder Schlafmangel, sondern weil das virtuelle Leben als Bauer Heinrich einfach so unglaublich schnarchlaaaaaaaangweilig ist. Wenn ich immer wieder mit dem Trekker die Felder auf und ab fahre, schön den Tempomat einschalte oder Heuballen lege, kann das durchaus entspannender wirken als so manche Beruhigungspille.
