What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
April 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $9.99. 18 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 13 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 13 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Farming Simulator 17 ($14.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Farming Simulator 2013: Titanium Edition ($14.99, scores 60).

What players say
Giants should learn how to make every Farming Sim game from this version. Optimization is so brutal that i can run the game smoothly at 4k native resolution with all settings maxed out, gigatons of script mods, Relight mod and geometry heavy maps. On top of everything, this is probably the best Farming Sim game mods wise. If you are looking for the best Farming Sim game, FS22 is the one.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Farming Simulator 22 scores 84/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1248130/farming-simulator-22The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 12, price as of Sep 24.
