Farming Simulator Nintendo Switch Edition NSP Free Download Romslab Farming might not be the first option that springs to mind when thinking about which careers you’d most like to see simulated in video game format, yet this series is a hugely successful one that has been going for some time. This game is the latest offering in a franchise that has spanned across multiple console and mobile platforms for almost ten years and, effectively taking last year’s Farming Simulator 17 for a portable spin, it is hoping to be the definitive handheld farming experience. Attention to detail and realism of this game is incredible; everything from the real-life brands of farming vehicles to the fluctuating market prices for produce and livestock has been truthfully represented.

In fact, this doesn’t really feel like a game – instead, it feels like you really have woken up and started your working day. You’ll be taking on a whole host of farming duties – ploughing and cultivating in the fields, managing and selling animals and their produce, managing your own workforce of employees, and so on – and every single step needs to be carefully planned to make sure that you are making profit. You see, whilst there isn’t really any specified goal in the game, you’ll likely want to be working towards seeing your farm grow into your own empire; you’ll need to be efficient to achieve this. At the start of your career the game will give you some quick tutorials for using various vehicles, how to manage your fields and navigating certain menus, before completely leaving you to your own devices.

From there, the world opens up with literally no indication of what to do next.

This can feel incredibly daunting; there are numerous fields, a town centre with shops for the equipment you’ll need and places to sell your produce but, unless you’re already a farming expert, you’ll still have no clue on what your next move should be. The game has some incredibly extensive help menus (including information on what tasks can be done and how to do them) but this was the first sign of Farming Simulator’s main problem. If you’re a farmer, or if you know the ins and outs of farming through some other means, you’ll stand a chance of progressing with ease. If you have no idea on the other hand (which is the situation that we were in), the wealth of information thrown at you – coupled with the fact that you are just launched into the deep end – can be extremely overwhelming.NAMCOT COLLECTION Switch

After the initial tutorial we were left sitting in our tractor feeling utterly hopeless and underprepared. To properly understand this game as a farming novice, you will likely have to properly study the menus and guides provided, learning what specific task each vehicle or tool can do and how every aspect of a farm needs to be cared for. It genuinely felt like we had gone to a real farm, suddenly having to manage it with no experience whatsoever, and it felt rather stressful. Thanks to this, Farming Simulator: Nintendo Switch Edition is a difficult game to review. On the one hand, it does what it sets out to do perfectly; the amount of depth and detail on offer simply can’t be appreciated without seeing it with your own eyes.

Gameplay

Unfortunately, though, it simply cannot work as a video game for all to play – the already potentially niche market the game would appeal to gets shrunken even more by the incredibly complex learning curve. For the sake of comparison, Stardew Valley offers a farming simulation experience that is both simplified and then combined with other gameplay elements to create something stress-free and fun. Farming Simulator does nothing of the sort; instead of adding more ‘game-like’ activities or altering the real experience to create something consumer-friendly, it sticks to the absolute realism of the job that it is simulating. If that means taking a literal hour to harvest a field and drive the wheat it produces to a selling location, then so be it. NAMCO MUSEUM ARCHIVES Vol 1 + Vol 2 Switch NSP

Both approaches are equally as valid and having these options to choose from is fantastic, but make sure you are aware of what you’re getting into before splashing the cash. Farming Simulator is a very serious, very long-term style game that will only reward those who are patient and passionate about farming. Farming Simulator: Nintendo Switch Edition is a farming Simulation game (fancy that), but I feel that description requires a bit more elaboration here. This isn’t a farming RPG like Harvest Moon, it’s not a lighthearted time-waster like Farm Together, and this isn’t a “god sim”-style game like The Sims or Sim City. This is a game that actually tries to simulate what it’s like not just to own a farm but to work one as well, and anyone who gets this game thinking they’re getting something like any of those games.

Graphically, this game looks decent.

Nothing extraordinary, but sufficient enough, I suppose. However, what it lacks in a wow factor, it more than makes up for in being an accurate simulator… for better or worse… To give you an idea what I mean, this game is played from the first-person perspective, and farming requires hopping into a tractor, attaching the device to till the soil, attaching a weight for counterbalance, moving over the soil to till it, then detaching that device and attaching a seeder unit, attaching a weight, seeing the land, then detaching that device, attaching a manure spreader, attaching a weight, moving manure over the land… then later, attaching a harvester, harvesting the soil, then moving the harvester over to a truck where the harvested crop can be moved to.

Then getting out of the tractor and into the truck and taking that truck to a silo or a lot to sell it, then getting back to the farm, switching back to the tractor, attaching a unit to clear the soil and prepare it for use again, attach a weight, and then go over all of the soil… and then you’re ready to start the process over. Was it agonizing to read that last paragraph? Because I’ll tell you, it was just as agonizing to do it. To be fair, the game does give you the option to hire helpers to do some of these steps for you (although that of course costs money), and I really, really appreciate that the folks behind this game really were dedicated to creating as realistic a simulator as possible, including real brands for tractors and parts.
