- “Good game but it is just not what I thought. I keep getting notifications about offline and blah blah blah, but it's a good game. However, too many ads; I buy one thing then ad ad ad. I do hate that. Also, getting animals is broken, but it's a good game compared to other farming games.”
- “Love this game, great graphics, easy to control. However, after playing this game for a few months, I've found it to be quite boring. There's no replay value to this game at all, and it's not worth the price.”
- “Good game but once I played Farming Simulator 19, it was really hard to get used to the slower controls in this game. The game would be way better if you started out with more money, had more machines in the store, plus bigger fields, and if you could have placeable objects. Please fix all of these things.”
