NintendoWorldReport: 4.5 / 10 by Matthew Zawodniak
Farming Simulator 20 is a bit of a disappointment. As a newcomer to the series, I couldn't manage to find a hook to keep me playing before I was overwhelmed by the poorly explained gameplay loop, and with the draw distance as bad as it is, I can't imagine long-time fans of the series having a good time on Switch either. Agriculture is the backbone of society, but Farming Simulator 20 will not be the backbone of the Switch's library any time soon.
Nintendo Enthusiast: 7 / 10 by A.K Rahming
Farming Simulator 20 on Switch looks great and provides a relatively decent sim experience, but it's not as robust as the last FS entry on Switch due to now being more mobile-focused.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Gavin Lane
Farming Simulator 20 won't be for everyone, but if you're after high-octane, instant gratification, why are you sniffing around something called 'Farming Simulator 20'? It requires time and devotion – if you're not one to enjoy the long, languorous journey you'd be better off sticking to more abstract farming sims. Once you get into its low-key repetitive groove, though, there's a wealth of wholesome, calming work to get lost in and a satisfying flow to cultivating a field, sowing seeds, harvesting, repeating and watching those numbers go up.
Farming Simulator 20 Description
Farming Simulator 20 is an agricultural simulation game. The production represents a series started in 2008, and its development was taken care of by the German company GIANTS Software.
Mechanics
The gameplay in Farming Simulator 20 is based on the solutions from Farming Simulator 19. The game takes place on one of two extensive maps (one of which is located in North America), and during the game we play the role of a farmer, who takes all the responsibilities associated with running a farm. We not only cultivate the land and harvest and sell crops (the list of crops includes cotton and oats), but also engage in animal husbandry (such as cows, pigs and sheep). As there is a lot of work to do, after each finished day we should rest, to which we are bound by the fatigue mechanics.
As we progress, we earn money to buy new land, construct farm buildings and finally buy more and more advanced machinery and tools. There are more than a hundred of the latter here, including the leading John Deere products.
Technical aspects
Farming Simulator 20 is based on the technology that powered the previous installments of the series. The game's visuals are therefore decent, and special attention should be paid to carefully designed vehicles and machines.
