Poorly optimized game... Espeacially for AMD cards. R9 270X - 10-25FPS @ 1920x1080 HD 5770 - 10-20FPS @ 1366x768 HD 5970 - 10-20FPS @ 1680x1050 Nvidia 460GTX 40-60FPS @ 1920x1080 ... Lack of promised features. At least MP was patched in today one month after release(non steam). I was starting to think the developers abandoned this game. No signs of upcomming patches or at least stating something like "We are working to fix the gamebreaking bugs(stated in the forums)". Well... Im sure this game has some nice features and of course it will be fun to play (if u can play it properly) but at the current stage it feels more like an early access game. Bless the new steam refund system (to bad it doesnt support 3rd party purchases...)
Farm Expert 2016 is another sim trying to go up against FS 15 with vast goals but only half vast implementation. The lack of tool tips and general explanation of farm equipment fuctionality will leave most players frustrated from the very early game stages. The tutorial is long. . . really really long ,yet only shows the simpelest of tasks and so does not prepare you for what comes in Freeplay mode. This brings us to the game modes.They are listed as Campaign and Freeplay.In fact there is no Campaign ,that is the tutorial. The Freeplay mode offers two maps and if you bought "Day 1 DLC" you also get a map called Fruit Company which introduces a new farming style involving orchard work.There are no tutorials or explanations as such for this part of the game at all. Gameplay: The physics are , well ,odd.Some rather strange bugs that need worked out here.Perhaps the only thing buggier than the physics are the texture/lighting effects.The bugs and oddities here are too numerous to mention. Playing the game is actually quite engrossing.If you can figure out all the unexplained functions/mechanics that are never explained.There are also balance issues between outlay for gear etc. and payout. You may find a years work will do little more than cover the interest on your loan. So after all that why do I give the game a reccomendation? Once again we see a game that has the potential to be real competition to the only farm sim game out there worth playing.If the developers add the needed tool tips etc. and actually care enough to work out the many many bugs and as they have stated they would,add modding support, this game might also break the type of simulator sales records held by Farm Simulator 2015 and ETS 2. If however the support dries up yet again ,then this possibly great game will find it's way to the bargain bins reserved for shovelware simulators and THAT would be a real shame.

I am going to admit at first the game didnt work well at release and I was mad.. But since the recent patches that have come out worked lots of issues out and now this game has really grown on me... I really like the field work its much more refined than Farming Simulator .. even with mods. I also love the tire tracks. I am looking forward to building up my farm and it seems tractors can break down we will see?? If you are a farming game fan you should give this one a go I just warn you its not great with a xbox controller IMO just didnt suit me how it was set up.. Keyboard and mouse work great though so no harm no foul.. Great job on the patch Silden keep up the good work
Played it for a short bit, and I did enjoy it. I just play farming games when I am bored, and this game has entertained me. I can list the few things that annoyed me in the game: - Screen flashes after the entering/exiting a vehicle animation. - The graphics are a bit sharp, and can be a bit uncomfortable (had no other way of explaining it). - After exiting a vehicle, you suddendly active superpowers that allows you to push every vehicle for several metres. - Low framerate, but I do not really notice it in this game. To be honest, you could play this game in 30fps without trouble. - A few glitches that are less annoying, because they do not affect gameplay (too much) That was it. I would also like to include what makes this game good: - The groundwork. Plowing has been made awesome. - Rear cam in every vehicle. This is awesome even though I play in third person. - Lost of activities, like fruit harvesting. - Exciting music. - Fruit harvesting. - Improved a lot since the previous game (same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ engine though). - More animals, even though they just make the game lag. - You have to go to a store to buy wheat, and come back when you are empty. - The lvl and repairing stuff. I like that. My conclusion is: The game is not quite finished yet, and it still needs a lot of work. It has some better bits than Farming Simulator, and some worse. It is definitely not worth the cash, but if you have some money that you don't know what to use for, and you enjoy farming simulators, I would go for it. It's very glitchy, but it does not affect gameplay too much. I wouldn't say that the game is better than Farming Simulator, but it has some better parts. Thanks for reading, and remember: If you aren't able to play the game because it won't start or your pc is too weak, don't post a negative review. That is like posting a negative review of a book that you are unable to read. Thanks for your attention! *flies away*
Reading the reviews from others clearly proves that some people will never be satisfied with anything. Yeah it isn't Farming Simulator 15 so what? Yes it has quite the Pro Farming 2014 feel to it but it still has more stuff added that makes it worth it. For example, the whole fruit farming and the DLCs. It is something extra to keep you busy and give the farming feel to it. The negative side however, is that it still needs more work to make it better.It has the potential to be an amazing farming game. All in all, it really isn't THAT bad of a game! Don't always take the negative reviews as a done deal. Give the game a try, you can always get a refund. Also, One of the Devs is actually interacting with us in the community and have reassured us of ongoing support and free DLCs now and then. They take notice and give feedback. So before you jump on the ''I want my money back!'' bandwagon, make sure you actually take the time to check it out and not just review after 5 minutes of playing the game. And as a female gamer with family history of farming, this is fun! No it aint the real deal or it isn't that accurate, it still gives the farming aspect and it can keep you busy. Definitely recommend checking it out.
I kan not advice this game to anyone, maybe in the future. At this point it has to many small bugs witch lead to annoying gameplay. But it had potantial! pro's: [list] [*] plowing helps [*] you can see progress on each field [*] orchards [*] different animals [*] the fields really feel like you've worked on the, traktor slides in the mud Con's: [list] [*] textures seems to pop in and out of sync [*] tractors slide of hills and can't back up on hills [*] progress resets sometimes while working on field so you have to restart [*] animals textures belong in a game 10years ago [*] no info what so ever in the store so you have to guess what the equepment is for(EG fruit harvesters) It's has good potential. Exelling FS15 in a few areaw but falling short in the total picture!
Similar to Professional Farmer? Yes. Very... but not identical. Feels more developed, but that said, this needs more lovin' from the Devs. I bought it because I'm desparate for an alternative to Farming Simulator's repetitive cycle of shiny, cleanly built, solidly-performing anual copy of Farming Simulator 1. Something with a sense of player/farm progression (getting better at farming, building new structures that actually have a function, etc). Something with at least a reasonable amount of physics... Farming Simulator is shiny, but flat. Its devs don't seem to want to try anything new, and I get really tired of paying $50 +DLC every year or two for essentially the same game with a slightly higher polygon count. Farm Expert has the things I'm looking for, but not the level of development and polish that FS's higher budget affords. Bias out in the open- I WANT THIS GAME TO SUCCEED. That said, performance is choppy at times, even on high-end hardware. The physics feel like the devs had higher hopes than funding (or higher profiteering?) Still... Given an under-developed game abandoned(?) to the market before its proper time, or a shinier farming game that suffers from KSP-like syndrome of needing dozens of mods to make it what it should be...I'll stick with FE2016 for a while. It's cheaper.
I have to say that i realy enjoy this game. There are some bugs here and there, but overall i like it. It is not the same as Farmingsimulator from giants. But this game has elements and features that giants dont add and vica versa.
This game keep crashing even on lowest graphics settings. I got it really cheap for like around $3 but was not worth keeping so I refunded it.
this game is very broken, the developer is nowhere to be found, dont waste your money on this game.
