![]() ![]() ![]() In Farming Simulator 19, you are forced to do the same thing for a large period of time, meaning the game plays at a much slower pace. In Stardew Valley, you are running around trying to complete as many tasks in a day as you can. While I think I prefer games like Stardew Valley that let you make more progress, to be honest the fact that you need to plow a field for 15-30 minutes in this game almost makes it even more relaxing than one of the kings of relaxing games. For some people, this will be a positive while for others, it’s a complete deal-breaker. You can make a ton of progress in an hour in a game like Stardew Valley, in Farming Simulator that same hour might allow you to get two fields ready if you’re lucky. Farming Simulator 19 doesn’t hold your hand and makes you work hard for your progress. If you are more interested in a casual farming experience, play Stardew Valley or a game like that. The Farming Simulator series is certainly not for everyone. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to progress to the stage where I could own horses so I can’t really tell you how they change the game. Horses (which you can ride to train) have also been added to the game as well as two new crops (cotton and oat). I can’t tell you how significant the graphics have improved but I can tell you that the game looks great. One of the biggest features the game is promoting is a complete overhaul of the graphics engine. In terms of new additions though, Farming Simulator 19 adds John Deere tractors and machinery for the first time (along with brands like Case IH, New Holland, Challenger, Fendt, and many other lesser known companies). Again, I have no experience with the franchise so I have no idea how vastly the game has changed (and due to that I might not be super helpful in this area). Most of you reading this review probably already know how the game works and only really care about the additions included in Farming Simulator 19. ![]() While maintaining your fields in a very realistic fashion and driving around heavy machinery are the main mechanics of the game, you can also do jobs for other farmers (in exchange for cash), raise animals like cows and chickens, or even get into the logging profession. You actually have to work for your money in Farming Simulator 19. This isn’t one of those games where you can cultivate and plant an entire field in a few minutes. Every field you own needs to be cultivated, sown (and sometimes fertilized), and harvested and each step takes at least fifteen to thirty minutes to complete (depending on the size of your field). While it is definitely a relaxing game (and the most realistic farming game on the market), it isn’t nearly as easy to pick up and play as a gem like Stardew Valley.įarming Simulator 19 is definitely heavy on the “simulator” portion of the game. Unfortunately, my overall reaction to Farming Simulator 19 is a bit more middling than I thought it would be. Based on my enjoyment of simulation games and farming games like Stardew Valley, I thought I would absolutely love it. Even though this series has been going since 2008 (with PC and console versions that usually come out every other year and mobile/portable versions filling in the other years), this was actually my first experience with the Farming Simulator series. I would never want to be a farmer or a truck driver in real-life, but for some reason they make for nice games to zone out to after a hard day of work. There’s something so relaxing and soothing about games like this and the Euro Truck Simulator series. Believe it or not, even though a title like Farming Simulator 19 implies that this is a work or chore simulator, there are plenty of people (like me for example) who enjoy these types of games.
