My son absolutely loves this game. He doesn't quite know how to do all the farming stuff yet(he's 7) but he enjoys driving all the trucks and cars. It really is a long game. Once he learns the ins and outs I'm sure he'll spend hours making his farm perfect. You can also choose from different areas like snow,rural,suburbs etc. Cool game. I find myself playing it from time to time.

Amazeballs!!!

My partner and I can't get enough of this game, FS 19. We learn something new every day through trial and error as well as consulting with our new found guru "you tube", with helpful hints from where do I sell my chickens' eggs, to how do I know which tractor will fit which attachment etc. We amazed ourselves by how quickly we both took to this game as it was originally bought as a novel way to pass the time during our weeks of isolation as my OH grew up on a farm in the 1950's and it would give him chance to reminisce. We didn't believe it would take over our lives quite as much , as neither if us sleep well so we can be found at different times throughout the night farming our land and improving our property. I do the landscaping, livestock and designing. My OH ... MoreMy partner and I can't get enough of this game, FS 19.

I'm 56 and he's 72... so you can teach old dogs new tricks!

Best One Yet!

This one is way "BETTER" than the ones before.It started out with 2 Maps and now have maybe 9-10 more.Along with amazing MODS.You just have to go deeper into the game to experience the "never ending" excitement from it.You can edit "YOUR" Map/Field the way you wanted to.They will be "MORE" beautiful and easier for your Machines.Clear the trees in the ways to make your spaces wider for your machines to make the wide turns, to avoid missing part of the fields. Connect all parallel fields. Separate all non-square fields (L-Shape).You can BUY and RESALE the lands.If you're short on money, go buy the lands that has field(s) ready to harvest, after you harvest them, resale the land and sell the harvested grains to the highest demand.The new in-game buyer ... MoreThis one is way "BETTER" than the ones before.It started out with 2 Maps and now have maybe 9-10 more.Along with amazing MODS.You just have to go deeper into the game to experience the "never ending" excitement from it.You can edit "YOUR" Map/Field the way you wanted to.They will be "MORE" beautiful and easier for your Machines.Clear the trees in the ways to make your spaces wider for your machines to make the wide turns, to avoid missing part of the fields.

You can repeat this as many times as you want with the help of the time speed.Just get a loan and buy/rent the best Harvester [(Fendt IDEAL 9T) 17,100 Capacity] and a 45 FT Header, so you can go through fields faster.Get the Trailer that can carry 2 different grains at one time (60,000 Capacity) so you don't have to go back and forth.Buy the machines when you made enough so you won't have to constantly pay the rents.The fun part is work your way up to the best Machines (The Expensive Ones). It's possible in one day, depending on how efficient you work with the hired workers.I played all the Maps and nearly owning multiples machines that does their specific jobs: like 2+ Harvesters is better/faster than 1, well, you get the point, and so on. Just don't be afraid to spend your money once you made enough for what you wanted/needed.Higher Investment = Higher Return.

DON'T buy this game!

I love this game but every time I play it freezes. I have contacted the company about the issue to see if they would help. The only thing the company did was blame my internet connection. My internet is perfectly fine and I don't have problems with any of the other games I play including previous versions of this game. I kept telling the company my internet is great and have no problems with any other games and STILL all they say is its my internet connection and there is a problem with all connections at this time. Ok but I've had problems with this game since day one when it first came out. BEWARE of this game. It is not a good version and the company won't take responsibility to fix it.

Life in the slow lane

As simulator games go this is pretty good, even if you are not into farming. The graphics are good but not breath taking, not into to days standards. This game loses a star because it's not split screen or multiplayer. Only online multiplayer so both players need the original disc and a full PS Plus subscription. So no cross platform server play. This is a great shame as this would be pretty good as a multiplayer game. It loses another star for limitation. Even with the Platinum Edition you don't get a great deal of additional vehicles, tools or maps and what you do get is pricey for in-game play, especially in the early stages. However, it does have a mod extension available on consoles, so you can find useful tools and machinery that are far better than whats ... MoreAs simulator games go this is pretty good, even if you are not into farming.

Most realistic farming game to date

Have you ever woke up to the crowing of a rooster? Get out of bed and hear the mooing of the cows? Going to the barn and firing up that massive beast tractor for a day of plowing or what ever the day brings, and at the end of the day you are tired, but very satisfied. Well, this can happen in Farming Simulator 19. The most realistic farming game I have ever seen. I was raised on a farm, and this brings back some of the best memories I have ever had on the farm. You will be amazed of how realistic it is. And if you never been on a farm, you are in for a treat. This is a must for anyone who desires the open fields and loves to take care of animals. You will not be disappointed.

The Game is very disapointing.

On the positive, Mighty Ape always give good service so I apologize to them for not being able to give this game a good review.The graphics are ok, the 2 maps in the game are good and the new look farm over view is a good improvement. Few more crops to grow and animals to tend to.On the down side there are very few placeable buildings and tools, and I mean very few. No water points to supply the animals, there is a water tank trailer but where do you get the water- no placeable fuel fill points, no seed or fertilizer silos or water tanks etc etc. Very poor in light of the fact FS has been around long enough to have this sorted by now.Save your money and wait for a few patches and Mods to be loaded on their Giants Mod in game page.

This is a bit of a letdown.

I have been very disappointed with FS19. I played over 200 hours of FS17 and many hours of FS15 and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to this game but I don't understand what they are doing. The US map has a very trashy look to it. A trash pile in the middle of my farm land, a trailer home near my farm with a tarp on the roof, a spanish church on the hill that has a busted out wall and tarps on the roof it's like I'm in Fallout 76 or something. The buildings on the farm they start you out with are junky looking and have no use whatsoever. I can't even use my barn for storage it's just a cosmetic barn for $60,000. What reason do I have to keep my $60,000 barn just to look at when I could use that money for farm equipment? FS17 and FS15 had beautiful farm ... MoreI have been very disappointed with FS19.

What reason do I have to keep my $60,000 barn just to look at when I could use that money for farm equipment? FS17 and FS15 had beautiful farm houses which made you feel successful. This farm house is very trashy looking with paint chipping and a trashy looking interior It needs a remodel from Joanna Gains! Fortnite has better looking houses than this. It's cool you can walk inside the house but it is filled with...surf boards...yeah I know farmers and they don't surf. I get that it's supposedly California on the coast but most Americans consider the mid-west location for farming. Also there is a small tutorial at the beginning of the game just like FS17 and other tutorials but not as helpful as the many YouTube videos. Every time I need to figure something out I need to go to YouTube to see how things work and I've played the previous games. The new U.I. menu is not as good as the previous game. It does not even give you the name of the crops in the menu just a picture, kinda hard to figure the difference in a beet and a potato which both are white color in the menu, hard to tell the difference between wheat and barley also with no name under the picture. PROS are I'm glad they now have John Deere and now you can preview your tractor or vehicle before changing the paint or adding special tires. You can also landscape and "paint" the terrain which is very nice also glad for the more realistic weeds during growing. I wish they would have used a better engine to make the game. The Game environment looks like a PS3 or Xbox 360 game. I get that they are an independent studio and that this is on a console but look at The Hunter Call of the Wild for an example on console. They are a small European studio also and The Hunter has 50 square miles of open world in the woods, mountains, creeks also with dynamic weather and it's amazing! I don't know why they couldn't use Unity or the Avalanche Engine to help make this game. It would also be future proofing and much quicker turnaround time for the next game. This is a bit of a letdown, I was looking forward to this game. I hope mods will bring new maps, buildings, or farmhouses to console otherwise I have no desire to go back to it.

Very realistic! I love it!

I really like farming simulator, and this one is great. If you are not passionate about farming as a business this game is probably not for you though. One thing that you might notice if you buy this is the graphics are five years old. I like that because you don't need a huge computer to play it. If you do have a huge computer the graphics are notably better.

wonderful game

this is an awesome game and very educational in it's own way. not shoot up blood shed. my grandson loves it. I've set with him and watched. the player actually operates very realistic machinery, tractors with attachments, trucks both large and small, and even a train. scenery is extremely realistic. you have crop farming, logging, animal farming, etc. and all are geared toward making a profit for your investment. as your income grows you can purchase more equipment and become very diverse. it's fun just to watch whether you play or not.
