“Detailed agricultural sim featuring over 40 licensed tractors and immersive audio design, but identical planting mechanics and empty maps undercut the farming fantasy.”
Our Verdict
This is a game where "concept exceeds execution." It wants to be a hardcore version of farming simulation, but doesn't dare to go truly hardcore—no loan pressure, no crop diseases or pests, no mechanical breakdowns. What it ultimately presents is a "farm-themed driving game," suitable for players who want to zone out and enjoy the rhythm of repetitive labor.
If you're expecting the management depth of Stardew Valley or the immersion of Euro Truck Simulator, this game can't deliver either. It's more like a "farm machinery showcase software"—letting you drive all kinds of real equipment, but that's about it. I uninstalled the game after 30 hours, not because it's poorly made, but because it made me realize something: the reason real farm work is exhausting isn't because the operations are complex, but because of the day-after-day monotony. This game perfectly replicates the latter.
Worth trying at a 30% discount, not worth full price.

I very rarely give out negative reviews and to be fair, FS2017 does not deserve a negative review if we consider it in isolation. However, given that I own FS2015, I find it hard to justify my purchase of FS2017. I gave a stellar review to FS2015 and this is a "slight" improvement over it - so if you don't own FS2015, you should definitely get this. But yearly iterations of games with little added value has become a sort of trend in the gaming industry and it's not something I can justify myself encouraging.Show moreShow less

Why there is no neutral vote? This game is a safe purchase for those who are interested in buying their first farming simulator. It contains everything from previous games and some additions: - New equipments - equipment customization - new crops - New animals - Animals breeding + trailer for transport - Sligh improvement of graphics - New hub/menu with integrated "encyclopedia" so newcomers can understand what to do bettervthan with the old limited tutorial The problem is for owner of old farming simulator games. All those improvements exist but they are not really major to me. Most of the stuff could have been a DLC for FS15 with a lower price. FS15 already had most of those features as mods. Giants are not renewing their game with some fresh air that much. At least nothing that justify increase on price compared to previous game. Ill play it from time to time but its not going to catch my interest more than FS15 did from FS13. Ill probably not bother with FS19 because it's going to be the same old song. Thats why negative review from me but i wish it could be neutral. Its safe purchase but lil disappointment for long time farmers.Show moreShow less

I honestly don't think I've played the game enough to justify if this is truly a great game but here are all my thoughts anyway... I personally think this game is quite entertaining because I find mowing lawns (with a riding tractor) fun and enjoyable and sometimes feel like I haven't done enough. But this game is far more than mowing a lawn. Let's put down a list of great activities you can do in this game, some of which you can do in previous games too ie FS 15 and FS 13. 1. Running a crop farm. Basically means you take out your planting machines (sowing machines, not to be confused with sewing) and cover a field in crops of variation, wait, then take out the according harvesting combine to pick it up and sell the collected crop. 2. Mowing lawns. Yes if you really wanted, you can waste time mowing lawns, collecting grass and selling it OR using it to feed your animals to make a good profit. 3. Wood cutting. You can take out whats called a "Dangle Head" tree cutter that will cut down and cut up a tree into logs to fit onto a wood trailer to transport them to a log cutting facility, or alternatively you can crunch up the logs into chips and sell them at the heating plant. 4. Taking care of animals. This comes down from #2 where you can take care of cows, sheep, or pigs in order to produce manure from pigs and cows to help with #1. Sheep only take water and grass in order to produce wool which can be transported to a spinnery for good profit. Cows are a bit more difficult but quite rewarding in the long run but are fed a mixture of silage, grass, and straw along with water. Pigs, to be honest, I don't mess with them only because I don't feel the need, but theres a whole guide explaining what you need to do with caring for animals. If you don't really find much of that appealling then lets go over some features that were added since FS 15. 1. Built in Mod Hub. Yes this game offers a built in mod menu with a ton of mods made by the community. 2. Free dumping of crops or seed or whatever. This means that if you got a trailer full of lets say, wheat, you can dump it pretty much where ever you want and pick it back up later, this applies to all things that can be put in a tipper. 3. Enhanced graphics. I know that the graphics in most cases aren't that much different from FS 15 but there is a noticable improvement that makes the game feel more alive. Plus better attention to detail when it comes to the tractors and equipment. 4. More tractors and equipment such as Fendt, Challenger, and Massey Ferguson. And larger equipment such as the Amazone Condor sowing machine that has a massive span of 15m compared to earlier games such as FS 15 with the Horsche Pronto sower being the biggest in that game with having a span of only 9m. In conclusion, I think this game is great if you are looking to relax and learn a little bit on certain activities played by real farmers around the world. Theres a ton more features that I can think of but would just make this review too long if I go more.Show moreShow less

Having played FS15 already for many hours (1000+), i have mixed feelings about FS17. Yes, the developer "optimized" several things, the graphics look better, overall performance is better, Multiplayer is more forgiving. But where there is light there is also darkness. The performance increase (especially in Multiplayer) came at some cost with sync between players. Players don't see the same stuff anymore. For example the AI Traffic. One player sees several vehicles in front of him, while somebody else sees absolutely nothing. Emptying the manure heap at the cow stables updates several minutes (!!!) later in the Menu. This is ridiculous. Modding became a pain in the neck. While Giants published the Sourcecode in previous versions, this time they decided to only write a incomplete function description. There was no information at all from Giants about some important changes in the game (like the new storage system). It just was so painful to create new maps. The forums from Giants are there, but no involvement from Giants. Not one answer on how things changed or worked now. And let's be honest, Giants made some improvements to the underlying engine, but you do notice that it just opened a can of worms at other ends. The engine is so pretty much at its end of life. It appears though that Giants focused this time much more on the consoles, for PC Players the game is more of a slap in the face. I don't care if the PS4 doesn't support modding the same way a PC does. I don't care about the politics behind Sony's decision. But you get a crippled product because of this. I am a PC Player, so don't take away the ability to mod the living hell out of this game just because the mods wouldn't work on a PS. The modding community is slowly on a decline. If you take a look at the main modding site (No, not Modhub from Giants itself, the other one) you will find the 500th version of the standard map "Goldcrest Valley", a tree moved to the side and a "new" map on modhoster. There are tons of converted mods from LS15 which more or less are full of bugs, lots of re-skins etc. All in all just crap. Real innovative mods are missing this time. Shame, but it is a sign of the changed modding support of this game. But...it is still fun to play FS17, as long as you figured out how to work around several of the issues. If Giants does carry on the path with the next version of FS i have to say that the FS17 will be the last version i bought. BTW the upcoming CnC is, from what i saw so far, several years behind the FS in the development stage. So don't hold your breath. I am not sure how i should rate the game, there are several good aspects (also compared to previous versions) but i can't agree with the path Giants chose this time. I therefore decide to not recommend the game anymore. Hopefully it will change with the next version again.Show moreShow less

Nearly a carbon copy of Farming Simulator 15. The "Call of Duty series"- of simulator games. I might want to add that the "2017" only refers to the releasedate. The quality of this game is probably more 2005. Except the graphics - they are on par with 2008. One of the games that profits from having no competition in its specific niche.Show moreShow less

Pros+ Major +Mods for your game " I enjoy the realistic plant damage mod " Now when you run over your plant when its growing it will die wherever you run over. They just added some more mods that make the suspension realistic. I highly recommend. Wooho They just added a Mustang GT too. =) Major +Graphics are improved & lighting is a lot better. Major +Constant 60 fps running a 770 gtx... Major +Now you can acquire jobs and make extra money from other local farmer that own fields in singleplayer. They usually give you pretty expensive harvesters to play around with too. Major +Seamless keyboard , mouse + Controller usage. Flip back and forth between either. minor +MP mode to game with your fellow plant geeks. minor +They added trains. They can haul tons of product for you to the Railroad market. minor +You can pick up crap and make money off it. Amazing! minor +Shoot some hoops and once you get that 3 pointer you will unlock an achievement. minor +Sounds are more realistic minus the animal life. Cons- Major -Limited number of workers doing automated task at once. Shouldn't be any limit at all. What if you want to run a really big farm??? minor -Sucks people who own previous FS 13 and 15 don't get some loyalty discount. Maybe $5 off?? minor -$35 this time the other FS13-15 were like 25 bucks. Not a big deal but not a positive. minor -Jobs can take a little too long to complete "in my opinion". minor -Music loud as hell even @ 10% setting. Ohh well it's going off probably anyways.. right? minor -The chickens sounds really crappy. Make's me want to call KFC to haul their butts to the slaughter house! That will be $9.99 for a 20 pack. Hope my review helps you decide on whether to get this game or not.Thanks for stopping by! 10 Pros vs 6 Cons. Please Be Respectful In The Comments =) And no I will not buy this game for beggers so dont ask... Nice try tho. ...Trolls you are warned and will be deleted very fast.Show moreShow less

Great game concept and design, but in my opinion, GIANTS Software relies too much on the modding community to finish their games for them. I would give more credit to the modding community for making the game enjoyable, than to GIANTS for releasing these skeleton frames they seem to call finished products. From one iteration to the next, the only real difference between them is the graphics. There's not much for gameplay changes (i.e. introducing variables such as weather/disease/insects damaging your crop) If that isn't bad enough (which it should be,) they punish the hardcore fans of the game. For example, I bought FS13, FS15, AND FS17 at full price (~$45) when it came out. A FULL YEAR later, they come out with the Gold, Titanium, Platinum Editions... Which should have been DLC's to begin with, but that's another matter. These upgrade packs cost between $10 - $20. New players - who haven't even heard of the game until the expansion came out - can buy the game with expansion for $40. What is the incentive for players like me to continue supporting games like this when we're asked to fork over more money than those who couldn't give a rat's a** about the game? WAKE UP, GIANTS Software, and reward the people that actually want to play your games!Show moreShow less
