You can ride these new horses around two maps included in the game, Ravensport and Felsbrunn. The horses function like any other animal in Farming Simulator, so it’ll be simple to adjust for them. The horse animations are well done, not Red Dead Redemption good, but they are believable. It’s no car, but a horse will get you up to speed and to where you need to go. Yes, one of the latest additions this year is horse-riding, and it works reasonably fine.

What it does do is feed the game’s new horses. Oats, on the other hand, is far easier and cheaper to have on your farm, but it doesn’t yield a good profit. You’ll need a special harvester for cotton, so save up your cash if you want to dabble in that. The weeds, though, they’ll be sucking out the life-giving nutrients your crops need and speaking of crops, you can now farm cotton and oats. If you don’t manage well, you’ll end up fighting off weeds or worse in your fields. You can now also spray to regulate your soil’s pH balance to make the micromanagement of your crops that much more defined. If you happen to drive over some growing crops, you’ll destroy them and lose out on harvest. New in 19 are some field management mechanics, things like destruction. You’ll want to tackle some of these whiles your working on getting your farm’s feet off the ground, and when you have enough to hire help, it benefits you to take on some contracts while they’re working your fields. To help you earn money for this freshly laid farm, you’ll want to take on contract work. It adds to the difficulty and customization of your farm. You’ll be required to purchase a plot of land, of which the size will determine what you can farm on it, animal pens, buildings, fields, etc.

You own nothing and have to work your way to farming bliss. Which depending on the type of player you are, it is either a good or bad point.īoot up the game, and you can choose to start a new farm with the basics, as seen in past titles, but this year you also get the option to start a new farm from scratch. That formula hasn’t changed all that much.

The Farming Simulator franchise has been around for over ten years now. I’ll be reviewing this game as a whole as we don’t have a standalone review for the base game. Farming Simulator 19: Platinum Edition is the latest to come out of the Farming Simulator series that is until 20 inevitably comes out for PC next year.
