![]() This special version introduces new features and nearly 50 new vehicles, many of which are focused on the forestry industry. Updated on February 26, 2023, by Branden Lizardi: The Platinum Expansion of Farming Simulator 22 released in late 2022. The game currently only offers a few maps in its base game, but luckily the modding community is hard at work creating more. Basically, the only limits to how you can arrange your farm are your imagination and the map that you are playing on. You will also get to construct various buildings on your farm and, when you have the needed resources, grow your own livestock. The game has hundreds of tools, vehicles, and attachments for those vehicles to choose from, each of them beautifully modeled after their real-life counterparts.

While straying from the likes of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, fs22 actually strives to bring a more realistic approach to a farming game. Overall, it’s a worthwhile dive for hardcore fans, but a hard pass for those uncertain about the experience.Farming Simulator 22 is just the latest in a long series that has captivated millions of players over the years. ![]() Outside of sub-par graphics, everything you’d expect from a Farming Simulator title is present here, so the development team really hasn’t stripped much from the experience. Form an accessibility stand point, Farming Simulator 20 is perfect! While I’ll continue to work through my Farming Simulator 19 farm on Xbox One, I’ll begin a second farm for when I’m away from the house in Farming Simulator 20. That being said, having this experience in your hands and on the go is a huge advantage, and should be a selling feature for fans of the series. The graphics on Nintendo Switch are not great, especially when you compare to Xbox One, PS4 or PC. Remember the older farming games where you had a handful of crops to grow, but they all behaved the same? That’s gone now, as the variety here is better than it has ever been in the past. ![]() The mixture of crop types is also as good as ever before, allowing you to really get deep and dirty into the games many crops, how they behave differently, grow differently, and at times, need to be harvested differently. That being said, the confusing nature of the game means there is a ton of content to explore! So it’s really up to you to understand markets, crops destinations, tools required for certain crops, and more. The issue with Farming Simulator 20, however, is that so much of what the game is, outside of the controls, is never explained. Before you know it, all these button combinations will be purely muscle memory. But the development team here did a good job of not only mapping these controls to the Nintendo Switch, but also taught you how to access them all, and with relative ease. The above paragraph was meant to look confusing because ultimately it’s what you could experience in any given farming simulation experience. There are also buttons for lights, beacons, the radio, cruise control, and so much more. Take for example a combine, which will require players to attach a header, unfold the tractor, unfold the head, turn the harvester on, lower the harvester head, and ultimately put out the pipe to dump the produce into a nearby wagon. There is a fairly deep learning curve to these experiences, and tons of buttons and combinations to be mapped to controllers. Whether plowing, cultivating, planting, fertilizing, or harvesting, Farming Simulator 20 only does an ok job of teaching you the ins and outs of the farming life. If you do love these things, Farming Simulator 20 is a good (not great) title on the Nintendo Switch. If you don’t have an appreciation for farming, or have an affinity for these types of games, you likely aren’t going to instantly love this. The Farming Simulator genre has been around for a long while, and it should be noted right off the top – not everybody is going to enjoy farming simulation games.
