The reviews overwhelmingly criticize the grinding aspect of the game, describing it as tedious and poorly executed compared to established titles like Farming Simulator. Players express frustration with the game's lack of optimization, low-quality graphics, and overall gameplay experience, recommending that potential buyers invest in better alternatives instead. The consensus is that the game fails to deliver a satisfying farming simulation experience, making it not worth the time or money.
“The game is not worth the money it is right now. If you want a good farming simulator, go for the farming sim games from Giants, as they are more optimized than Professional Farmer 2017. Its lack of machinery and bad quality in the textures make it feel like a game that should have come from 2005, not 2016. As for gameplay, you'll find it better in other farming sim games out there. I played it for a while to see how it was and I wasted my money. The description isn't even worth reading for this game; therefore, I would not recommend this farming sim to anyone.”
“Honestly, how can you make a farming game that is actually worse than Professional Farmer 2014?”
“This is a lousy, cynical game which has just one positive to its name: it's made us appreciate Farming Simulator 15 that little bit more.”

The graphics of this game have been criticized for being subpar, with many users noting that they are clunky and lack visual appeal compared to competitors like Farming Simulator 15. Additionally, players have reported issues with lag and numerous bugs, detracting from the overall experience.
“Graphics are not that great, and the game lags while still having a ton of bugs.”
“It's clunky, has worse graphics, and is dull; sadly, I found zero joy in this title.”
“If you like farming games or want to get into farming games, buy Farming Simulator 15. Do not buy this game; not only is Farming Simulator 15 better value for money, it has better graphics and is a better game all around.”

The optimization of "Prof Farmer 2017" is widely criticized, with users noting poor texture quality and a lack of machinery that make it feel outdated compared to other farming simulators. Gameplay mechanics, such as tractor physics, are also described as unrealistic, leading to a general recommendation to seek better-optimized alternatives.
“The game is not worth the money it is right now. If you want a good farming simulator, go for the Farming Simulator games from Giants, as they are more optimized than Prof Farmer 2017. Its lack of machinery and bad quality in the textures make it feel like a game that should have come from 2005, not 2016. As for gameplay, you'll find it better in other farming sim games out there. I played it for a while to see how it was and I wasted my money. The description isn't even worth reading for this game, therefore I would not recommend this farming sim to anyone, but I would recommend other ones.”
“Tractors rock back and forth like a baby carriage; implements and loaded trailers have no effect on tractor performance at all.”

Just because it employs the same font as a competing title doesn't mean that Professional Farmer 2017 comes anywhere close. This is a lousy, cynical game which has just one positive to its name: it's made us appreciate Farming Simulator 15 that little bit more.
