Farming Simulator 2015, the latest in the long line of simulator games has been released onto the PS4 in the last week and this finally gave me the ability to fulfil my lifelong dream of running a fully functional space station…erm…I mean farm. Well the latter wasnt really a dream, but the former definately is!
So what is Farming Simulator? For those of you living under rocks in the Australian outback with no phone or internet….well firstly how the hell are you reading this! Farming Sim allows you to take over the running of a farm, be responsible for the harvesting, sowing, cultivating, feeding of animals as well as the buying and selling of equipment to try and make your life easier in the farming world.
The PS4 brings to the party the ability to carry out forestry actions, including chopping down trees. WITH A CHAINSAW!!!
The gameplay is great fun, single player see’s you taking your harvest and either storing it for the selling markets to increase, or take it straight to one of many points on the map which will pay you handsomely for your crop. With the money that you gain you can upgrade your equipment to allow you to go faster while carrying out day to day abilities.
Add to that the jobs board..where you are requested to carry out different functions, be it deliver a large amount of crops somewhere, or even carry out pizza deliveries.
Once you have sufficiently harvested on your own, why not get a friend to join you with the multiplayer option. Giving you the option to start a purely online farm that you and up to 5 friends can tend to your fields.
While the graphics on the game are very good, they are not as good as they could have been and the physics are a bit ropey…going full speed into a wooden picket fence should see it splinter into millions of tiny pieces, instead you just stop. These things however get overlooked due to the surprising amount of fun that can be had just by driving a tractor with a seeder attached to the back and driving up and down a field and depending on the size of the field this can be for quite a while.
Fingers crossed that with Farming Sim being popular on the PC and with the modding community already out there, hopefully some of those mods will find their way across to the console ports of this game.
Final word, the game itself is great in principal, and if you have lots of time to be able to pour into the game you will be rewarded, however add friends and the game becomes a laugh.

Replies(1)Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses
Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price
The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.
CGMagazine writes: "And as I said, the actual game of Kiln is so genuinely boring that playing it to unlock the creative tools was such a massive chore that I genuinely started to resent it by the end. Battling is a monotonous button masher. There are only five arenas, and despite being based on different gods from various mythologies, none are particularly memorable in visual style or music. And it’s all just such a homogeneous mess of nothing."
