    365 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of Farming Simulator games, particularly in Farming Simulator 18, is noted for its balance between engaging gameplay and the repetitive nature of farming tasks. While many players appreciate the depth and realism of the farming experience, some express frustration with the time required for crops to grow and the limited variety of activities, leading to a sense of monotony after completing the initial objectives. Overall, players find the grind rewarding when it leads to acquiring new equipment and expanding their farming operations, but they desire more dynamic content and updates to enhance long-term engagement.

    • “I really love this game! I'm so in love with it and happy that you guys made this game. I really hope you can make a new one like the PC version of Farming Simulator 19; I would love that and it would make me so happy.”
    • “Love the game but would love more farming tools and vehicles, planes, and a place to take cows to graze, horses, etc.”
    • “I am a huge fan of farming simulator, but could you please make this version like the console and PC versions where you can speed up and slow down time? It is very annoying having to wait ten minutes or more for my crops to grow, which is the only reason I gave three stars. Besides that, I would have given five stars.”
    • “It's a good game, but once you have done everything there is nothing more to do. There are no placables like sheds or you can't increase the farming area; it becomes boring after a while. Please, Giants, fix it up.”
    • “I love the game, but it just feels like you're playing farming simulator 16 just with a different map.”
  • graphics
    243 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising their quality and smooth performance on various devices, while others report issues such as automatic downgrading of settings and glitches. Some users express disappointment in the graphics compared to previous versions, suggesting that improvements are needed for a more realistic experience. Overall, while the graphics are generally well-received, there are notable concerns regarding consistency and optimization across different devices.

    • “The graphics are amazing and run surprisingly smoothly on my devices.”
    • “I love the graphics and the aesthetic.”
    • “Awesome game graphics are amazing.”
    • “Graphics are garbage, even on high.”
    • “The visuals in this game give me a headache.”
    • “The graphics are automatically going to low.”
  • monetization
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating that in-app purchases are optional and do not lock gameplay, allowing for quick coin accumulation. However, several users reported issues with in-app purchases not being delivered, game resets after purchases, and unexpected ads appearing despite the game being paid, leading to frustration and concerns about potential malware. Overall, while some players enjoy the ad-free experience, others feel misled by the monetization practices and the technical issues surrounding purchases.

    • “Start off with a few bits of gear to start farming the 2 pieces of land you own. In-app purchases are completely optional and do not lock the game behind it; it's more of a boost of finances. Coins can be made extremely quickly. I only spent money to get 100,000 coins (99p) and it set me up for the rest of the game.”
    • “No time limits, no ads, and no high price to play.”
    • “A lot better than FS 14, especially not having to unlock vehicles via in-app purchases.”
    • “The only way you'll have enough cash is if you spend real money, which isn't a problem, but for the people who can't, I see where the scam is. You have to work for it, and the workers seem slower on here for some reason, which you can't fix. I've paid for the game but play Farm Simulator 16 more than this.”
    • “I made an in-app purchase and then the game crashed, and I lost all my data.”
    • “When I pay for a game, I do not want to have ads on my screen.”

Despite these critiques, the game is generally regarded as fun and rewarding, particularly for newcomers to the farming simulator genre.

Overall, while the game is enjoyable, it suffers from repetitive tasks and a limited storyline.

    • “No leveling systems, no storyline.”
    • “I'm not getting many missions now.”
    • “The map should be a little bigger and have more new old tractors and more vehicles in it, along with different kinds of missions; then same boring missions every time.”
  • optimization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some users report smooth performance and good battery management, others highlight significant issues, including poor map design and vehicle performance. Several players express frustration with the need for adjustments, attributing problems to programming flaws rather than device limitations. Overall, there is a consensus that while there are positive aspects, the game requires further optimization improvements.

    • “The audio quality of the music is poor, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • replayability

    Players highlight the high replayability of the game, enjoying its fun mechanics and longevity over two years.

    • “Very fun game, replay value is very high.”
    • “Based on my experience for 2 years, the game is fun but please update the game, add new crops. This is the best farming simulator game for low-end devices and more playable than FS 20. Please make this more fun. Thank you for making this game.”
