Real Farm Premium Edition Review Cons:

  • The tutorial is just attaching two pieces of equipment and then plowing a field within a time limit and then returning to the farm. It takes ages for such a simple task.
  • A fair bit of screen tearing.
  • A bit unrealistic with how I can drive up sheer mountain faces no bother.
  • Had the equipment bug out and go wild when being towed.
  • Very slow going.
  • Few instances of pop-up.
  • The map is so full that it’s impossible to use the mini-map.
  • A lot of the game is trekking around the map.

Summary

For a long time now, The farm genre has been pretty much dominated by the Farming Simulator game series from Giants Software. Enter Sodesco with Real Farm and here we go. First off it does take a lot of what worked from the other game and I can’t hate it for that because if it works then why not? OK so in Real Farm they do allow you to play in free mode which essentially has you playing and doing as you wish whilst the career mode is the hand-holding, jobs laid out experience. I like the free mode as it eliminated a lot of the stress. On the whole Real Farm has made an experience that at the moment is very accessible and more so than the other game (I’ve yet to play the new one FS22) they have helpful buttons and help icons that make a huge difference. The jumping between vehicles means you can quickly and easily get on with it. What is annoying is it’s not as quick at hiring workers or laying out jobs and tasks. Real Farm is a good cheaper alternative and to be honest it’s a perfectly adequate farming experience and one I thoroughly enjoyed. Proof that there is more than one way to plow a field.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
