The reviews for "grinding" in Farming Simulator 20 highlight a mixed experience among players. Many users express frustration with the slow progression and difficulty in earning money, often comparing it unfavorably to previous versions like Farming Simulator 18, which they found less grindy. While some appreciate the game's relaxing nature, others feel that the grinding aspect detracts from the overall enjoyment, making it feel tedious and less rewarding.
“This farming simulator 20 mobile edition is a failure.”
“Experience I had playing with the game was not fun; I did not enjoy playing the game. It was too long-winded; it felt like the Stone Age waiting for everything. This game is just pointless and not worth the money. I'd rather play Farming Simulator 14; at least I could enjoy the game.”
“I have played all the farming simulators since 14, bought all of them, and wasn't unhappy at all. Couldn't wait for 20 to come, and boy what a disappointment. Helpers only work on fields; no helper can be sent to sell goods, and no indication on what the best prices are.”
