As game sequels go, Farming Simulator 17 does everything right: graphics, gameplay and performance all improved over the previous version (FS15). Is it a perfect game? No. Is it a well made and fun farm sim? Absolutely.
I'm reviewing this as someone who started on Farm Sim 2013 on PS3 no less. I moved to FS15 on PS4 and now I just started with FS17. After about 8 hours of playtime I'm very pleased with this game overall. The functional improvements are integrated seamlessly and address many of the shortcomings of the previous game(s). New features that make the game more complex and more rewarding, like the new animals system and stages in soil care (and mods on console!), are welcome. I'm on my third iteration of this franchise and FS17 feels both brand new and familiar at once, a testament to the top notch developers.
Are you trying out Farming Simulator for the first time? Then this is a great time to do it. Not only are you getting the best looking and performing version so far, the game also has a complete tutorial and database built in. My PS4 boxed copy also has an honest to goodness, quarter inch thick full color manual! Didn't realize how much I missed a manual with my games, so publishers take note- we want manuals back (I do anyways). If you take the time with the tutorials you'll be good to go, even though it seems like there's a lot to learn at first. One of the best ways to learn how to use the machines in the game is the new for FS17 job system. By doing jobs on other farmers fields (sowing and harvesting, plowing, cultivating, fertilizing) you get practice using the various equipment in the game. Each successful job earns money for your farm and a discount on the field price (should you want to buy it in the future). There's a time limit but no penalty for failing so try again if a job gives you trouble.
Returning players will enjoy the new interactive map which makes getting around and managing the farm easier than ever. Also new is the array of game settings so you can customize the way you play. About 2/3 of the in game machinery and placeables are new for this edition. The biggest additional feature on console has to be mods. There is a mod hub built into the game where new or modified versions of almost anything in the game will (probably) appear. Compared to the PC there are some limits but it's a revelation for console players.
