Farming Simulator 15
Okay, so obviously I’ve played this game a ridiculous amount of time. I can be a little obsessive about getting a game going JUST RIGHT so that I can build my empire. That having been said, I still have not explored all of the facets of the game as of yet. Now I have not played the previous versions of this game, so I didn’t really know what to expect with it, and I have to say that my girlfriend made fun of me for days after purchasing and playing this game.
Here is what makes it so awesome:

Not a bad game at all, very realistic in most aspects, but very very buggy at times.
The wood chipper is a prime example. It is so buggy and underpowered, it makes one think that these guys have never seen one in action. Once they grab a log, there is no going back, it is shredded. Short of turning off the equipment, there is no way to get the log out of it. In this offering, your main task is to get the log to go INTO it. Even when it does, there is a very high chance it will be just spit out again. Actually all trees can get very buggy at times. Ghost logs, screwed up cuts, ( they are still attached to the main log even though cut off), trees that decide to disobey the laws of physics. ( standing verticle instead of falling over)

Farming Simulator 17

Lately I’ve been really keen on games that let you customize and open - world decisions. Games that you aren’t restricted to a set path. I bought FS17 on a whim when it was on sale and fell in love with it - to my own surprise.

I’ve always been a community organizer and so knew that this game is far better when played with other people. Sure I’m a nerd because I game so much, and play D&D, but it blew me away how much I enjoyed FS17. Not something I ever thought I’d like. I think what pulled me in is the fact that it isn’t scripted. There is no “What should i do next” hand holding. It’s an open-ended relaxing game where you get to drive big awesome machines. At my prime I was spending every evening playing FS17 when running the server for several hours. When the server was very popular I would easily spend 3-4 hours a night playing. Much longer on the weekends.

Not even sure where to start man. I got this game because I’m a sim player and the graphics looked nice, and it was on sale. I’m in LA, so the last thing going on around me is farming, unless you’re farming weed. This game, and it’s modders, BLEW MY MIND.
You do the first two tutorials to get the gist of the controls and the basics of farming. And it’s the basics, I’m 140+ hours in and all I’ve done is work the fields on the first map. No animals, I cut down a half dozen trees by chainsaw around my silos that were pissing me off because I kept ramming them, no chaff, hay, manure, blah blah blah, just joyously working the fields, learning where everything is, and buying shit (the lower three fields and better equipment so far). To say this game is addicting, even to a city dude with zero ties or previous interest in farming, is a gross understatement. Just playing the basics, you realize the layers of this game just go on and on, and how each crop (and animals when you get them) interweaves with different functions of your farm, and each other, is one of the coolest applications of resource management I’ve seen, and I’ve got probably 50 RM games.

Red Tractor Tycoon
Its a fun Farming simulation which you can relax and watch your crops grow
While your crops growing you can check out your animals and various industry building you make butter and with that butter and corn you can make popcorn.
Complex game with cool mechanics to enjoy
I just wish there is a way to automate animal production to buildings and animal food to storage as well

Farm Expert 2017
Motto: If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree , it will always feel stupid compared to a monkey.
For the experts, this game is like an Early Acces, For new players, the gamea looks prommising.
I am not a farming simulator expert but I think this Farm Expert 2017 is better then Farming Simulator 15. it has better terrain physics and animations plus it looks more detailed. Consider the game a mixture of Spintires and FS15. It also has some repairing vehicle features similar to Farm Mechanic Simulator 15.

When considering this game, one should also consider it’s price tag. What do you expect?
Yes, the game has a heap of bugs. Yes the game’s physics are a bit weird.
Basically, what SILDEN trys to do is to provide a little more realistic spin on farming than the rather arcady market leader while being enjoyable as a game (ploughing at 15 km/h? Not in this game. Although, you could - it is only very hard to control).
Machines get dirty and decay - but can be fixed. The ground is dynamic (ploughing feels like ploughing, not like painting a surface with a different texture), it has greenhouses in which you actually have to ‘work’ to get something and orchards - both with their own set of tools.

Farm Mechanic Simulator
Another tractor with a dead engine? The combine does not start, and the harvest is just around the corner? The workload grows like mushrooms after the rain? Sounds like a great opportunity to also grow your wealth! Say hello to Farm Mechanic Simulator, a game in which you step into the shoes of a successful mechanic who knows all the nuts and bolts of farm machinery.
Accept or refuse orders from local farmers who may know about sowing and reaping, but cannot take proper care of their machines. No wonder you’re their last resort. Do you feel the weight of the local agriculture on your shoulders? Grab a wrench and act! The machines won’t repair themselves.
Your workshop is your kingdom, the tools are your subjects, and the ramshackle tractors and harvesters are just waiting for you to squeeze the last pennies out of them. After all, there’s no engine that can’t be granted a second life in your machine SPA. The business is going well? Expand your workshop, equip it with high-quality tools and get better orders.
Before you start repairing, perform an in-depth analysis of the damaged machine to find the source of the problem and make an accurate diagnosis. Then you can roll up your sleeves, ask the customer: “Man, who did this to your tractor?” and get down to what mechanics like best – making money on repairs. However, remember to test the vehicle well before handing it over to the client!
Farm Mechanic Simulator is an adventure that you cannot miss. So sow the seeds by wishlisting the game, watch it grow, and get ready for a bountiful harvest! Also, do not forget to click the “follow” button on the game page to stay up-to-date with all the important news.
Farm Machines Championships 2014
Breaking News! :)
Recently learned tweaks allowed games to run and run better. Applying one of those tweaks here resulted in a marked improvement in fps; Older lackluster performance when compared to this can be found at the bottom of this review and another one in the forum. This is the best so far and there is one or 2 other options i could try out further to see if any more performance gains can be had. Without further ado here is the new performance; Full HD maxed out.

Farm Machines Championship 2014 puts you behind the wheel of a tractor for forty dull events. It varies in nuances of relaxing country races, to mundane and tedious beat the clock lawn mowing challenges. I will admit that the premise alone of driving a tractor through these events could be interesting, just as much as it can be comedic gold and this game strays to the latter far too often.There’s a thin like between relaxing and boring and there are plenty of times where the game feels like its more chore than fun.

Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops
So I just bought this game to give it a second chance. Since it had a discount I will keep it to help developers. Otherwise I would ask for a refund. The game is very promising, but it is still very “green” yet, since you just play a lot of missions to get used to it, like a big tutorial. And developers are not keeping up, it is taking too long to fix the bugs and add more stuff. Speaking of bugs, I wish to tell about a few, like the sound of that CLAAS ARION tractor that simply fades away and completely disappears when on exterior camera and fully accelerating. Speaking of full accelerating, I kept hearing this constant click sound in the engines of tractors (I use headphones so it is very perceptive), when letting the acceleration off. Also the changing gears of the ARION and MB tractors need a few improvements, as the tractor behaves as if it had a DSG transmission. It changes really fast and the sound of the acceleration is quite strange, specially when not pulling any implement (the sound of the CLASS harvester, available in the CnC demo map, is great and it changes gears in a very realistic way). I found the steering quite strange too when playing with a keyboard, even though you can fine tune it in options. The tractor tends to follow a straight line, making you keep tapping right and left all the time to get it through the road. The landscape is fantastic, and the weather system is cool, but it could have a display showing the air temp, a weather forecast, and sound of the rain falling (there´s none) with some thunders. Also, I felt that the trees, although very well done, are quite unrealistic, since it looks like it is always changing shapes when approaching them. About the gameplay, the character moves oddly in 3rd person view, specially sideways. And I would love to see some immersion, not just start out with a farm with a bunch of equip and some fields. It would be cool to start out with some money (maybe a credit line in the bank - loan ) and then you had to spend it wiseley, having to choose which farm would suit your needs (we could have three or four choices of farms to decide on each map), and decide if we would spend on equip, fields, farm upgrades, layouts, etc. Maybe adding some AI farmers to have some sort of competition would be nice. The physics are great, it is what this game outstands most of farm games. But as I stated, the behaviour of accelerating and braking, changing gears and the sound of all that needs to be redone. So, if you want to support, I will recommend buying it since it has a big discount. I wish developers keep up the pace, and fix all this stuff, and also add some more things to make it really enjoyable, I truly believe in this game. Good work. (P.S - it is time to add an opening trailer when loading the game, some music in the menu, and also more character options. Also I noticed that a few words are still in german, even when you choose english, for example the word “Alle”, instead of All).

2021 UPDATE: This game has been abandoned. Don’t bother.
Have you ever been playing SpinTires and thought, “Man, I wish Farming Simulator(s) had mud like this to work the ground more realistically.” This is it. They are going for Realism and are nailing it.
The mud isn’t as crazy as the back woods of Russia. But if you are filling a large trailer while harvesting in wetter conditions and are driving a small tractor the tires will spin and you will sink to your axles when the trailer gets too heavy. No amount of Floorin' will do when a bigger machine is needed. Heck, when it’s really wet a large trailer will sink in the mud a bit if you stop when its almost full from the extra weight. Mass, momentum. and traction is realistic. No pulling a train of Krampe big boy carts uphill with 98hp!

SnowRunner
The SpinTires/MudRunner series has finally become a full fledged game. SnowRunner brings map exploration and change to a new level with the ability to improve and repair disaster struck areas. The trucks have a high level of customization and unlocks to make them increasingly capable as you delve into stickier situations. Finally, the map sizes and routes require planning in the late game to ensure you bring the right tools for the job; don’t prematurely lose your load; and make it to the finish line with more than fumes in your tank.

Snow runner is the much anticipated sequel to Mud runner, the third game in the spintires off road simulation series, and this new installment takes the spintires concept from being a curious toy to a full fledged game. Quite a monumental leap to say the least. I won’t be covering many of the things that stayed the same from mud runner, as I already made a review of it.
It does this mainly by adding a new progression system. Trucks and upgrades are now earned through money, an XP level system, and scavenged from the maps as you play. In some ways, this makes the game into a bit of a metroidvania type of ordeal. There are many areas starting out that you simply cannot reach with your current equipment. And that can be rather frustrating to someone unfamiliar with spintires. Your biggest enemy is yourself if you don’t know what your trucks can and cannot do. Many judgement calls will have to be made. Especially when doing a super heavy haul contract with early game equipment.

Lumberjack Simulator
Well, after playing Lumberjack Simulator for over 44 hours now I feel I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It may have a tough learning curve due to the large amount of different vehicles and the unusual key commands, but it is so worth it after you learn the basics of a few machines. I had enough fun in the beginning of career just cutting down a few trees and running them through a chipper to make a few bucks but then you can advance through much more complex machines. There is also ‘open world’ play with easy, medium, and hard levels.

Let me first start off by saying the product I am reviewing is the Steam Early Access!
No, I was not paid to say any of this, this is all 100% my personal opinions of what I think about the game.
Detailed review or SKIP to TLDR
Who is this game for?
If you love forestry or any sort of logging or have a curiosity for it, or just would like to give yourself a challenge out in the forest, then I believe this game will be for you!
(Now, not to compare, but I am doing so purely from a review point to point out the key features that Lumberjack Simulator has over other games!)

Biggest complaint is that the AI “helpers” are as smart as a damn lobotomized rat. They get stuck on everything, miss spots constantly and charge AAA rates for the work of the local crayon eating window licker. I pray they did somehting for 22
