DHGF: Farming Simulator, while not exactly like the real deal, is a far closer match to the real deal than games like Farmville. There’s a nice variety of equipment, you can scale the game to move at your pace, and you have free reign in choosing what and where you plant. The driving and farming controls are pretty good, and while the user interface feels a little clunky at times, it all works. The only gripe I have with it is that, out of the box, you’ve got no direction in where to go, what they’ve got planted for you or where things are, and the missions you get don’t match your money level or what equipment you have at all. So when you first start out, even having done the tutorials, it can be a bit daunting, just like the real deal.
