A beautiful, relaxing farming sandbox
Farming Simulator 19 is an open-world farming simulation game by developer Giants Software. This installment appeals to both hardcore simulation fans and casual players as it successfully blends sim elements with arcade ones in its design. It features a good variety of crops and animals to raise, plus a roster of officially licensed vehicles and machinery to operate.
Farming Simulator 19 can be played single-player or co-op on local or dedicated servers. The gameplay is presented with improved visuals, thanks to a new graphics engine that gives the game more vibrancy compared to earlier titles such as Farming Simulator 18.
An upgraded farming experience
FS19 offers the same gameplay loop as its predecessors, but with more polish and better visual fidelity. You will grow different crops such as wheat, canola, barley, and corn. Raise animals like pigs, cows, sheep, and horses. The profit you generate from selling what you harvest can be used to upgrade your vehicles and machinery to further optimize your farms or buy more land.
You can tend to your farm using hundreds of vehicles and machinery from leading brands in the agriculture industry. The game’s compatibility with a wide selection of controllers like racing wheels, gamepads, and keyboard and mouse will allow you to operate vehicles and work on your farm in the manner you’re most comfortable with. The in-depth tutorial also ensures players new to the franchise can learn the ropes fast.
Other activities you can do in this farming sim include forestry, placing buildings, and real-time terraforming. However, the visual quality of terraformed land leaves a lot to be desired given the game doesn’t support dynamic deformation. Also, the physics can feel a bit janky in some places but it’s a polished experience overall. All of these features are presented in a straightforward, easy-to-learn way that doesn’t overwhelm players.
Refined farming sim made for everyone
Designed for both hardcore fans of simulation games and casual players, Farming Simulator 19 is among the most welcoming in the series. The game’s interface doesn’t bombard you with information and the tutorial is fleshed out. Furthermore, it supportsmany controller types. Whether you enjoy the intricacies of farming or just want to experience operating farming equipment, FS19 is a great game to pick up.
