Farming Simulator 16 is an open world RPG that allows players to create an expansive and thriving farm from the ground up. Those who have enjoyed previous titles in this series are sure to love some of the overhauls and updates that can be found in Farming Simulator 16. With complex hiring mechanics and a wide variety of new tools, this title picks up right where the other Farming Simulators left off.

Hundreds of simulation games have been released over the last decade, but very few can stand toe-to-toe with some of the top Farming Simulator titles. The original Farming Simulator came out in 2008, and many players couldn’t fully grasp exactly what that game had to offer. After the first few titles were released and some updates were made, the franchise took off. With Farming Simulator 16, you can control every aspect of your farm as you create a thriving business. Whether you want to expand your farm or simply drive around in a tractor and take in the sights, this title will provide you with hours of fun.

When you first start a new game, you will be given some basic machinery, a little bit of money, and a plot of land. From there, you must buy seeds, cultivate the land, sow the seeds, and harvest your crops. If your crops do well, then you will make enough money to buy better machinery. You can also purchase different types of seeds and animals depending on what the market is like. As time goes on, your farm is going to expand as your business becomes more lucrative.

In addition to harvesting and selling crops, this game also presents the player with unique challenges every few minutes. You might need to pick up some cargo with a tractor or deliver a load of supplies within a short period of time. When those challenges are completed, you are rewarded with a cash bonus or upgraded machinery. Farming Simulator 16 has also introduced a new hire command that allows you to employ AI characters who help you around the farm.

While Farming Simulator 16 isn’t groundbreaking, it is a fun title with quite a few entertaining features. It is a great option for anyone who would like to avoid some of the fast-paced simulation games that have recently been released.
