These days there are plenty of simulation games out there flying, driving cars and trains. Now we have Farming Simulator 2013 - one of the most niche games you’ll find.
If you’re looking for car chases and hordes of zombies invading your farm read no further.
This is all about running a modern farm and believe it or not, it does become engrossing to a degree.
You begin with a basic farm in a small country town and the objective is to plant crops, buy livestock and generally do what farmers do.
You start with a small selection of crops which you then plant and nurture, sell them and put the
money back into the farm.
There’s no collectables or real goal in this simulator, all you do is plant your crops feed your livestock, manage your money and invest in your farm to make it bigger.
There are an incredible amount of investments available to you from solar energy to around 40
different farm vehicles.
This is a massive game with no objectives or missions, just you and your farm and a bunch of AI locals that you can’t interact with unless you hire them to do work for you.
There are plenty of tutorials for learning to drive but you will have to find out for yourself where
the selling points are in this massive open world map.
There are some side missions available which involve moving stuff or maybe cutting some grass all very nice but not overly exciting.
Farming simulator 2013 is a single player game yet it does have an online multiplay element but be
warned, these people take their farming seriously and if you start messing about then you will be
banished.
Graphics aren’t the best I have seen which is good for gamers with quiet low spec PCs but rather
dull and uninteresting with pretty basic models and textures
Farming simulator 2013 is exactly what it says. If you’ve always wanted to be a farmer have a go.
It’s not going to light up the gaming charts , yet it does have a large on line following.
