Not very different from other GIANTS Software productions, Farming Simulator 2025 certainly brings some interesting news, implementing three new biomes and as many different methods to deal with the experience. Recommended for anyone who needs to get their hands dirty with mud and for those looking for a quiet experience.

This game hooked me!

This review is from the perspective of a guy that never played a Farming Simulator game before. Total new player to the series.

2025-26 have been game changing for my gaming habits. I gave games I would have never considered before a try and discovered whole new passions. This game was one of those. It's a simple concept, really. You expand your farm through various farming activities, you do "contracts," which are mini-missions involving farming activities, while you wait for your crops to reach harvest season, and you lust over sexy tractors and heavy farming machinery the way you lust over supercars in racing games. I know, the whole thing sounds dumb, but wait till you give it a try, you'll get hooked!

Despite being a simulator you have a surprising amount of options available. You can ease the settings to make the game practically effortless, or you could straight up make it so hard and unbearable you might as well just go work in a real farm instead. You are given the option to start penniless, or with a lavish 1 million bucks (8 million if you imported a multiplayer game). And I highly recommend that you try starting rich 1st. This would allow you to try the many different farming activities and find what it is that you like doing. The game is NOT an RPG where the final destination is your end goal. Here, you get richer, sure, but there is no end goal, you are supposed to continue working till the next Farming Simulator drops out. This means the initial grind to get to the stuff you need to start proper is kinda pointless. So might as well start rich from the get go and jump straight into what you like. Unless, of course, you want a starting challenge. Not sure who, outside of Youtubers streaming for an audience, would need to add challenge to a game where even loading a pallet onto a truck is a time consuming activity.

Here are my top tips:

1st start rich, for all the reasons I explained.

2nd. There is no such thing as too much horse power, heavy tractors are kings in this game. Unless you are using mods, light tractors tend to be useless, so get yourself a decent heavy tractor in the 400+ horse power range and you will be golden.

3rd. Machinery that attaches to your tractor directly as suppossed to be trailered behind your tractor are IMMENSIVELY easier to use. So, don't overlook them. Even if the specs are lower.

4th. Machinery degrades and lose efficiency with use and there is a repair mechanic in place to restore them to full effectiveness. So repair your equipment often. Don't worry about repainting vehicles unless you intend to sell them. Repainting is expensive and it's only cosmetic. Reapairing, in the other hand, is NOT cosmetic and you need to do it often.

5th. Quality of life it's incredibly important. When building your farm give it plenty of space for your tractors and machinery to maneuver around. It will save you enormous amount of precious time.

6th. Try many different things. If something it's too scruciating, and there is plenty of that in this game, scrap it and try something else.

Those are my observations so far.

Il gioco non è male ma è farcito con una quantità di bug da non credere segnalati e presenti da anni. Segnalare un nuovo bug è un calvario (registrazioni non funziona o è necessario resettare la password alla fine del processo). Non esiste una dashboard in cui sono elencati tutti i bug e in cui si può vedere la storia e la stima di risoluzione.
Visto che lo si paga ci si aspetterebbe che un bug che non permette il funzionamento di un edificio, segnalato 1 anno fa sia stato sistemato, non è così. Non si può sapere quanti lo hanno segnalato, se è previsto un fix, ecc.
Sembra non ci siano sviluppatori dedicati al bug fixing. Prendono i soldi e problemi tuoi..
