The reviews overwhelmingly criticize the grinding aspect of the game, comparing it unfavorably to established titles like Farming Simulator. Many users find the gameplay tedious and repetitive, with a lack of engaging content and poor graphics, leading to a consensus that it fails to deliver a satisfying farming simulation experience. Overall, players recommend sticking with more reputable farming simulators for a better experience.
- “This is the most boring farming game I've ever played in my life; I'd have more fun if I ran my own farm in real life.”
- “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 Giant as they are more optimized than Pro Farmer 2017.”
- “Honestly, how can you make a farming game that is actually worse than Professional Farmer 2014?”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the detailed environments, realistic textures, and effective use of lighting and shadows, particularly when settings are maximized. However, others criticize the graphics as subpar, comparing them unfavorably to competitors like Farming Simulator, and report issues with performance, including low frame rates and bugs. Overall, while some find the graphics enjoyable and immersive, many consider them lacking and not worth the investment.
- “The graphics are amazing, and with the addition of tree cutting and tree plantation, it gives so much more to do in the game if you fancy a change from your crops. Let's see what they come up with in the new farming sim soon.”
- “The game has a good graphic and physics engine, and it reproduces very well, capturing the smallest details of farm life and the hard work needed to progress. For example, we can take care of animals, drive tractors, and cultivate our fields.”
- “The graphics are really detailed, especially when all settings are maxed out: lights and shadows create a nice realistic touch on objects and animals, while landscapes (generated from real-world photos) really seem to animate while playing.”
- “Graphics are trash and is a complete rip-off of Farming Simulator. Don't buy it; it's a waste of your money.”
- “Even set to the lowest graphics and resolution, the game ran at like 12 fps.”
- “Graphics are not that great and the game lags and still has a ton of bugs.”

- “The game has pretty amazing soundtracks; some of them are country style, and there is actually some kind of epic one. You would think it doesn't fit, but it actually makes you feel amazing when you're farming.”
- “The graphics are quite good, better than the gameplay, but the combination of music and photography is what really gets you in the atmosphere!”

Gameplay in this game is a mix of standard and innovative elements, offering a user-friendly experience with intuitive controls, though some players feel it falls short overall. While the graphics and atmospheric music enhance the experience, the gameplay mechanics require players to follow specific logic and utilize various tools effectively. Engaging with the tutorial is highly recommended to master the keyboard combinations and maximize gameplay efficiency.
- “The gameplay and controls are very user-friendly and self-explanatory in most cases.”
- “Simulators are the best type of games, and Professional Farmer 2017 is one of those games that offer you a good amount of fun. This game has beautiful graphics and realistic textures, and the gameplay is so unique.”
- “The controls are fine, but the actual gameplay is what ruins this game.”
- “In this particular scenario, keep in mind that playing the tutorial will definitely come to your advantage: there are a lot of keyboard combinations that are really useful during gameplay, and we can learn all about them while completing the tutorial.”
- “Gameplay is both standard and innovative for a simulator: we have the classic base scheme where the user is required to move around and follow a strict logic with certain actions in order to complete tasks (you can’t, for example, take up water with any tank; you need the water one, which is different from the slurry tank), but then we are at total liberty to decide where to concentrate our efforts in order to maximize gain.”

The optimization of the game is widely criticized, with users reporting poor performance even on high-spec PCs, outdated graphics, and a lack of realistic mechanics. Many recommend alternative farming simulators, such as those from Giants, which are noted for being better optimized and offering a more enjoyable experience. Overall, players feel that the game's performance issues and low-quality visuals make it not worth the investment.
- “Being intelligent about how you finance your operation, hedging the performance of your land with well-timed investments in the commodities that you deal in.”
- “The optimization of resources is crucial; managing your finances effectively can lead to significant improvements in overall performance.”
- “Strategically planning your investments can greatly enhance the efficiency of your operations and maximize your returns.”
- “Although my PC exceeds the system requirements, performance was awful.”
- “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.”
