No pedestrian cars like in a previous edition, no human element tutorial or shop owners. Outside of the drone pilots you can hire, there’s nobody else out there.
Also in previous games there have been challenges or requests (particularly in the handheld editions) but I haven’t seen any yet, you are truly out there doing not much more than growing crops and earning money. Even going into a tractor store and hitting “details” gets you nothing more than “Tractors are required to pull trailers and tools.” The game does not feel welcoming to anyone who hasn’t played the series before. I feel like you are left to your own devices for any sort of animal husbandry, and have to test your purchases to see if they benefit you or not. Past the basic “how to farm a field” tutorial, there’s nothing.
Previous Farming Simulator games have made me feel like I was learning something, but I feel this is lost in the 2020 edition. A worker will do exactly what you tell them to, even if you accidentally tell them to plow right over a crop that is ready to harvest. I know if I were a real farmer I’d have to be responsible for my own materials, but sometimes I’d take the sower attachment off the tractor to till another field and forget where I left it, or drive a load of crop to market and have to manually drive the truck back (can’t seem to hire for that job).
However, this comes with frustration, at least for me. If you like taking care of each and every step, then you are in the right place. Most every task is completed on your own: you can hire some workers to take care of the fields, but they don’t even have the decency to dodge each other while in the field, sometimes turning a helpful farmhand into a babysitting job. It thrives in the mundane the end goal simply being to watch an arbitrary amount of cash climb ever upwards. Since then, people have been able to latch on to the game.
The Farming Simulator series got it’s start seemingly thanks to a dedicated online community that latched on to the simplicity of farming life and grew into an odd collection of hardcore dubstep videos.
