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

March 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $3.24. 47 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 11 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 11 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Farming Simulator 19 ($17.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Farming Simulator 2013: Titanium Edition ($14.99, scores 60).

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 449 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 903 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.

Good game to relax, only problem point i saw was you get slight lag spike when you turn on lights. Other then that simple and easy to learn game

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/313160)](https://steambangers.com/game/313160/farming-simulator-15)

The 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 13, price as of Sep 24.
