Gamers are not thrilled with Farming Simulator 2025 — collected player reviews

Despite the traditional popularity of the franchise, the new part has caused mixed reactions among gamers. The main reasons for dissatisfaction were insufficiently developed mechanics, optimization problems, and the lack of significant differences from previous games in the series. Players leave critical comments in which they share their impressions:

“The product is terribly raw. It lags on top-end hardware, including RTX 4090 and Intel Core i9-13900K. It’s simply a shame to release the game in this state,” writes user wolfdmant.

Another review from ARC-5555 "FIVES" emphasizes the unsatisfactory physics: “The mechanics of the equipment remained as wooden as before. There is no sense of the mass of the car at all, as if you were riding on a stool.”

User Grem adds: “The interface has been changed minimally, the engine is the same old one with terrible physics. The promised terrain deformation is just a texture, albeit with a parallax effect. But that's still not enough to call it a real breakthrough."

At the time of publication, 65% of reviews on Steam remain positive, but many players believe that the game needs more time to fix bugs and improve.

Despite criticism, Farming Simulator 2025 managed to beat Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Metaphor: ReFantazio in peak online, gathering more than 126 thousand players on the day of release. The game was released on November 12, 2024 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, offering traditional gameplay for the series - farm management, animal care and harvesting.
