Farming Simulator 2013
Animal husbandry, crops, sales… It's up to you to manage and grow your own farm in a huge, totally new world!
What it feels like
The relaxing, low-stress sandbox loop and peaceful farm setting create a comforting, gentle play experience. The unhurried rhythm of seasonal farm cycles and calm pastoral environment invite patient, meditative engagement.
What it's about
Set in a recognizable modern rural world with contemporary farming equipment and practices. Managing natural cycles, weather, and the land itself is central to the farming experience.
How it plays
Growing crops and tending to farm operations across seasons is definitionally the core loop of the entire experience. Budgeting limited money, fuel, and equipment against ongoing farm expenses and expansion needs is constant. Operating tractors, harvesters, and other farm vehicles is essential to completing work and managing the property.
How it looks and sounds
Realistic farm vehicles, landscapes, and agriculture systems aim for recognizable verisimilitude in presentation.
How it's structured
The core loop centers on player-directed farm management with few imposed objectives — players set their own farming goals and growth trajectory. Single-player is a primary design mode, though multiplayer and co-op are supported as alternate structures. A large, explorable farm world is traversable in player-chosen order with many areas and operations to manage.
