  The only downside I can see is that the vehicles jump around on smooth surfaces like the road. Granted, that is a pretty big downside, but the rest of the game is awesome. I've been playing farming simulator for years, and this game fufills what I think is missing from that game. Hopefully, the bouncing vehicles will get fixed soon, otherwise I may not be able to overlook it at a certain point, but for the moment, it only happens when going over 30 km/hr. So driving slowly, like I would a tractor on a road in real life, and in the field, I see the physics as pretty good. I love how you can upgrade buildings around the farm and the deformable terrain, along with the particle animation. For the longest time I've been so let down by the dust in the fields in farming simulator, it is a big part of realism for me, and this game nails it perfectly. The bottom line is if you can trust Silden to fix their problems, or overlook the bouncing vehicle thing, this game is a must buy in my opinion. For $19.99, or for the $17.99 intro promotion pricing, this is well worth the money.

  Missed opportunity , had so much promised, but was a hurried release. Developers did not fix the flaws which were apparant in the alpha videos/ pictures ( eg bouncing tractors, tractors floating, blurry graphics etc etc ). Has all the ingredients ( which the Farm Simulator series doesn't have ) , to be a success , but needs to be polished ( patched !! ) a lot. In its current state, i can not recommend this game.

  Why I chose to refund... The videos , hype , advertisement and beta testers made this look better than it turned out. The controls are wonky and often confusing, at first. Because it's only $2.00 cheaper than full retail cost I've requested a refund until such time that the developers fix and optimize the game a bit more. On first launch the game froze , then ultimately crashed. Rebooted the PC and was able to launch. Controller support is lacking badly at this stage. Mine (Logitech F310) wouldn't let me configure buttons for various tasks. Keyboard steering is just weird to me on any game. Can't recommend the game at this point, maybe once things are fixed I'll review it again. Low End PC- GTX 660ti 2gb G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB DDR3 1866 A10-5800k OCd to 4.4Ghz

  Seriously, I'ts a very good idea with more realistic physics and all... IF it works, and it don't. Tractor bouncing like crazy on flat road the tracks from wheels are urealisticly deep in dry mud. I haven't played it long enough to make a statement on the rest of the gameplay but I feel I will wait for FS2017 and put my money there instead. It's a pity because this devs really consentrated on the things FS lacks but only their ideas were good :(

  I have a few hours into the game now and can honestly say there are no major issues at all. The physics for driving on the roads are not perfect, so just drive carefully but the rest of the stuff in this game makes up for that. All the crop and fruit planting are far more realistic than FS 15. It will really pay you to do All the tutorials. As for the wingers out there FS 15 has still got bugs example: turn on your lights and game freezes.. I think it's great what these Devs have done with this game and wish them all the luck for the future. We do need another farming sim. If the devs stick with this I think it's the recipe to be an alternative to FS 15. Am not knocking FS 15 as have hundreds of hours in it. Also the price at the moment makes it worth giving it a go.

  This game has a lot of niggles and bugs, but they will be ironed out over time. Some of the auto features don't work everytime yet, like getting the AI to bring in the crop for you. Overall, this game is like a cross between spin-tires and a farming simulator, (because of the soil dynamics), but the vehicles are very buggy just now, (one week in from the release date). In gear 2, your tractor leaps into the air and floats like it is filled with hot air! If you want a fully working game, then wait a while and read more reviews, but don't listen to people who have only played this game for five minutes and given up! Farming is about patience and if your more of a GTA, COD of BF nut than a farming nut like me, this game will put you to sleep! Personally, I cannot wait till someone makes a mod like CoursePlay for this game! I love farming simulators, but I also find it boring going up and down the field over and over again. The next best thing the devs could do, is to let more than one AI work on the field at once, like in the big G's FS13 and FS15. Its a pain in the 'A' waiting for plowing to finish before you can start cultivating, etc. I have played Farming Sims since early 2000 and started with John Deer Farmer et al. Check out Farmer-George on Youtube or Twitter.com/FarmingSims I will probably make a few videos for this game!

  I write here a small what do i think about this game review. I had owned the previous farming expert 2016 version, that i recently deleted from my steam account. That version was really a big mess. The developer of that and this game made some fixes to FE16 that solved some heavly problems, also some of them stayed in the game.. That made the game just worthless and no any chances to playing it again.. They also promised to still improve that game.. But because of FE17 i dont think they dont really have the time for it to do that. Because this silden team is not very huge. And i think they have to much to do to improve Fe2017 instead.. Do you expect that it would be a big change from FE16 to FE17. I would say no, because its still the same looking game with the same type of graphics. But this FE17 game should actually called FE16. But the view on the commercial side, FE17 sound newer and need to be more actractive to buying the game. If you look on the features side, it is still a sort of improvement. -Loading times are sorter, no heavy gpu load with the game is loading, the in game map is improved, there is now a garage for maintance, the helper is improved, tractors doesnt slide anymore, doors and gate automatically goes open when you standing in front of it. And also the verhicles are improved on the looks in the store, there are more brands now and so on. But there are indeed still some flaws in the game.. Its not the same game as farming simulator (i own from FS 11 to FS15) but feature wise it has much more to offer then farming simulator. Some things works a little shocky, game performance is a little down. But if you only look to the features its a nice addition against farming simulator. I would give this version a 6 / 10 when they would fix every flaw that would still in the game. Is it worth 20 euros? I would say no, because quality wise i still let it a bit down. I would say if you can get it for 10 euro perhaps 15 euros, i would see go for it.

  Yes it is a bit bumpy around the edges, but feature wise this is miles ahead of the FS series. If you just look at crops - pest control, fungal control, weed control, as well as the usual fertiliser. The range of products you can grow is staggering compared to FS's 6 (7 if you count trees...). There are more animals, and the breed, workers are much better coordinated, and don't cost STUPID amounts of money. (Not sure I'd pay €100 for an acre of ploughing.. Maybe half that - but not like $1000s in FS) Like I said, it is a bit rough at the moment, but the devs are active on the Steam bug pages, and are responding and fixing the bugs. Should probably be Early Access, but it's a good game! I enjoy it.
