Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love farm simulator 18. It feels like an actual game. We like it because it feels like Im doing the work.
This is beautiful because we drive more stuff than farming sim 23. But one problem. We have been playing and it seems like it freezes in the middle of us playing the game. Other than that it is good. Also can you fix the graphics of the game because it gets blurry sometimes. Other than that it is 5 stars. Thank you much.
Im not sure why if its a connection on our end or what but Ive always had trouble getting multiplayer to connect on this game and it never seems to ever work for some reason but other than that overall great game and enjoy playing this.(love the challengers wish they still made them.).
Hi, our 4 year old is obsessed with this game. But all he cares to do is just drive different trucks and tractors all over the map. (Hes still a little too young to wrap his head around the farming). Are there any cheat codes or cheats we can do to get him infinite money so he can just drive around town in whatever vehicle suits his fancy? We spend a lot of time earning him money when hes asleep and then next thing we know hes sold all the tractors to buy an 18 wheeler.
Best game ever Only one thing we dont like is the square bill they take a really long time to do but the regular bales take 30 seconds.
We started playing 22 on PS5 before, but it is at a different house. We tried this and instantly became addicted. Its just so peaceful. Kind of a downgrade from 22, but really cool on mobile.
We downloaded it because we wanted a good game that we could play on the go that didnt take internet. This game is it everything in the preview is real. Download it NOW.
Can you add more hills that you can actually drive over really great game no adds.
It is our favorite game we wish there was more John Deere tractors and equipment as well. Would recommend it to others who love to farm and own lots of equipment.
Please add more stuff like old tractors.
We got this game almost three days ago and we genuinely cant stop playing. Ive logged nearly 18 hours already. Our adhd loves it, even if we forget where we put that one tractor. Super fun, blissfully addictive and the holy grail of no ads unless you need an a quick coin boost. We do wish there were four-wheelers to help move around the smaller trailers or even to do a quick check in around the farm and fields. All-in-all, awesome game! Also this is our first ever review, just because its that fun.
We love how theres no ads And we really like farming.
This is the perfect game for farming.
First sell trailer and get new one. Then harvest wheat and collect from harvesters and silos. Next, go to silos and sell every other crop. After that, sell animals. Finally, sell every piece of equipment except red tractor and buy the forestry equipment.
This game does not have any ads also we wanna mention that theres a lot of selections of things or vehicles or trailers. We want to mention that there is theres like you get you get a harvester you get two tractors and and you get a trailer and like we want to say that everyone get this game. Finally John Deere.
Its is appropriate and not much money to buy in game cash and its a relaxing game we can play this all day! KEEP IT UP.
This is the best fs games ever, we used to play this when we were like 8. We would always hop on it and play with our dad, we wish we could go back to our younger self Love this game.
The game is very good but we have a request can you guys make a camera for the cab thanks.
When is the next update? By the way we love this game A LOT it relaxes us and kills time when Im bored.
Love the new map and all the new equipment!! (Really wish that fs 20 was free though.).
Im really thankful for making it Wi-Fi free. And do you mind making the ads a bit shorter? Can you guys make the game get missions more frequently?and can you add a fast forward button so we can make the crops grow faster? Pls add a Tesla cyber truck!!! Or race cars. Please tell us how to use manure. Remove the cars or remove collision. And if you dont give us a response we will lower the rating every month!!! Starting at five stars.
This game is so fun the only problem is if you play on mobile its hard to no how to do anything so developers please respond and tell us how you play multiplayer and harvest things thank you for taking the time to read this we will be waiting for a response.
Please add more tractors and trucks and combines make the tractors and combines John deer.
Please add garbage trucks please please please Ill play farming simulator forever. Just add it please.
Hi, Im not sure if Im actually talking to the developers or what but, Ive seen the reviews, Ive seen everything. This game may not be like Farming Simulator 17, but the reason is because back when it was released, phones couldnt handle bigger maps and getting out of vehicles and whatnot. We played this for a total of 56 DAYS when we were younger and it was one of our favorite games and in fact the second game we ever played. And even though people are too, um, lets say, illogical, to know the capabilities of an iPhone 8 or whatever the current iPhone was when Fs18 released, this game still holds a special place in our heart, and it will for generations to come. All this to say, Giants Software, you are the best game developers in the history of the entire universe. And nothing can change that. You deserve better than the communitys feedback. Keep pursuing the Farming Simulator series. Ill buy every single game you release. Jesus loves you guys, and we love you guys.
This game is excellent but its not to realistic like fs 17.
We play this game when we have a spare 1 hour or 2 or 4 since it is very addicting but u should put a gooseneck flat bed trailer 40 ft or 25 ft either way u should put a Deere 4440 or 4020 open station in to make it more realistic and u should add a Deere 5020 with duals and a semi cattle trailer also add chickens and the ability to get out and put a small square baler and wagons and put in gravity wagons.
We remember playing this game like 8 years ago and just loving it Love it.
We absolutely love this game! We do have a few problems. 1 we would appreciate more land and bigger fields. 2 It would be nice to be able to get out of the tractor for when we are doing square bales to make it more realistic. 3 It would be nice if you added Chickens and Goats to your list of improvements. 4 Add more trailers such as an animal trailer and a hay trailer trailer. GREAT GAME. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR NEXT UPDATE.
Nice game with amazing equipment and a huge map! A suggestion would be to add more equipment and crops as seen on fs 23 or fs22. But overall nice iPhone game to spend the time.
You guys should add a semi truck trailer to be able to haul more animals because the small trailer is good but it takes for ever to sell your animals if you have alot of them.
This game is pretty fun and the gameplay is great also we like how we are on the Grand Canyon but we love the gameplay its very nice.
Great update They can add more tractors and combines. Thanks if you can add it They can add more tractors and combines. Thanks if you can add it.
So we have could data on our android version but we just got an iPhone is their way to move the data to it.
We cant hear the music only the engines of the vehicles.
We love the game because its free and the gameplay is perfect. The only thing we dont like is the fact that like every 30 seconds you can get $25,000 which means someone can basically cheese the system and get rich from ads. In Farming Simulator 16 you got one like once every 30 minutes which we like because it makes us work for the money. Great game overall.
We love this game but there is only one problem we can only tilt our phone to steer when we tried to change it it wont do it.
We LOVE THIS The detail ik its not as realistic as fs 15 17 29 20 22 or 23 but still its soooooo addicting we just love farming and thats our dream job we hope this app will make that true and teach us how to be a farmer Btw good game By Chris.
Add first person and getting out of vehicles.
We wish it would update more and add more a John Deere combine. But other than that we really like it.
"we love Farming Simulator 18, but its missing iconic equipment like the New Holland CR10.90, Case IH Puma CVX (with front loader), and Case IH Axial-Flow 7130all of which were in FS16/FS17! These machines would make the game perfect for longtime fans. If Giants adds them in an free content update, Id gladly give 5 stars. Until then, please bring back these legendary machines for your loyal players! And please fix the work lights of Fendt 724 Vario because they dont work "*.
El juego es una maravilla tiene muchos tractores y otras maquinarias muy buenas, pero us gustara que la mapa sea ms grande para tener ms espacio para cultivar, tener ms espacio lo hace ms interesante! Por ahora solo 4 estrellas, Espero venir pronto a poner las 5 estrellas.
So we really like the game, but the only problem is that you cant get out of the vehicle and the map is not too big and theres like no mods or anything and the tractors are pretty slow. And the game would be way cooler if there were mods. But whoever made farming simulator 18 im sorry its just not good enough.
Our family of 6 play FS 18 connecting to each others profiles to help out but we cannot get our youngest sons iPad mini to stay connected. It says compatible on this iPad when selecting but crashes as soon as you select a profile and closes. We have reloaded and restarted multiple times to no avail.
We love the game and simulators in general. This map is terrible absolutely terrible we liked 16s map way better but still keep up the good work. We wish the layout would be better for beginners a lot of driving back and forth. We know you can have them auto drive but sometim still take to long to drive to still a fun game tho keep it up.
We want to make a lanskaping busses for n 18 like fs25.
We are a huge fan of this version of the Farming Simulator series. We would give it five stars but since the last update, there are sound bugs introduced including the background music in the game not working. If the developers come out with a patch we would give the game a five star rating.
Tractors, it would be nice if you could add Farmall 1206 with ROPS and a John Deere 4020 Open station.
This is a great game for people who like simple farming. But we thought this game would allow you o work in and out of the vehicles and we thought that you could switch views like in the cab. Overall good game.
We think it would be cool if you made trailers for hay and straw that can be attached to a semi so you can have semi loads of straw and or hay. We love the game tho.
