Become a farmer
Farming Simulator 17 is a game all about farming. You can either play by yourself or in a multiplayer setting. You’ll use realistic brands of tools drawn from real companies across the globe. Players can take care of a variety of animals and plants with the cutting-edge technology that makes modern farms so effective.
The simulator is the next in a long line of editions with solid gameplay that keeps improving over each new release. The graphics are high-quality and enjoyable. The controls are basic and not complicated. It’s easy to make use of all the features this virtual world has to offer.
Gameplay
You can cut down trees or make sure your plants are growing well. You can farm solo or take advantage of multiplayer options, playing with up to 16 people.
New Features
This edition of the FS series added several improvements. Now, you can take care of your neighbor’s land as part of quests. These actions let you purchase new land when you want to expand.
You can also rent equipment to see if it’s worth purchasing. In this game, you can also travel by train to new locations. Unfortunately, you need to use a modification to use location outside of the US.
Alternatives
Graphics and controls were improved in Farming Simulator 17 while keeping all the elements of previous games intact. The developers added European sites to the map options along with many other new features.
Pure Farming 18 offers a fresh take on the genre with significant differences. You can breed your animals to improve their quality, and farm locations are available around the world. The main shortcoming is that this series has fewer mods available compared to FS.
Not enough
While the game was good when it was released, the later versions are more fun. Not much changed from the Farming Simulator 16 to 17, but Farming Simulator 19 made some important steps forward. The graphics are okay, but the gaming options are lacking.
