More about Farming Simulator 15

Critics scored it 64. Players sit 29 points higher at 93 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Of the 448 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 906 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

36.7 hours to finish it, 229 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.2 times the campaign.

What players say

It never became addictive like other sim games for me. I don't really see any significant difference between the many versions that came before for after, but if you want something very casual and chill, Farming Simulator is definitely that. This is probably the only game I'd recommend as a way to treat insomnia.

Farming sim. Really captures just how fiddly even something like attaching a plough, then ploughing in a straight line, can be. 10/10 would line up my tractors in a neat little row again.
