positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An enjoyable game for what it is, but has game damaging bugs/issues that were never fixed so I cannot recommend. In the story mode game, you obtain a pig sty at a certain point in the career. It is broken in that you cannot put potatoes into it, only the purchased feed. The sty only works correctly on the free play map. I spent hours trying to get it to work in story mode before finding out on forums that it was a bug that was never fixed. The game also tends to have random crashes that just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a game that sells itself on graphics rather than gameplay. Simply put, it's a lot less fun than Farming Simulator, and it only has a total of 36 workshop items - with a number of them being memes, at that. The other thing is that being a game that sells itself by graphics, if you can't run everything at the highest setting, then you're getting ripped off - as compared to a game with solid mechanics that looks less impressive. The game has a level-up system, and you can only level up by…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pure Farming 2018 is a solid and relaxing farming simulator. It’s not trying to be overly complex, but it gives you enough tools to feel like you’re really running a farm. The graphics are a bit dated today, yet the overall atmosphere is peaceful and enjoyable. There’s a nice variety of locations — you can farm in the USA, Japan, Italy, and Colombia, each with their own crops and challenges. The licensed vehicles look good, and driving them feels smooth and satisfying. The game is perfect for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll keep this short. This game had a lot potential and did things better than the Farming Simulator Franchise in certain areas. The area they have struggled heavily was AI. The AI farming a field has never been sufficient to complete the task properly and even worse, you cannot have two AI in the same field at the same time doing different tasks. This means you must do every single task in the game yourself, which ruins the enjoyment of the game, despite its beautiful graphics. My hope is they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last update was April of 2019 (a year ago). Several things were broken then and still are now. This was a cash grab. I will never buy another edition of this game or anything else this Dev or publisher releases. Lots of hype and no delivery. Graphics are not good at all and the brands are generic with some common brands splashed in. You got me once Ice Flames but never again.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, after fully playing the tutorial I have some issues. Pure Farming 2018 is purely just a farming game, and that's the worst part. The worst part is what the game offers the most of, farming. Jesus the vehicles are SLOW. Compared to actual machinery both the starter tractor and the harvester are extremely and painfully slow. Now I get that the game is supposed to be "realistic" and sure, some people will like that aspect but most won't. Most people that play simulators like this use it as…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really wanted to give a positive rate to this game, but I can't given the number of problems built in... I wanted to try a relaxing and brain-free game far from what I usually play. I played a bit FS years ago for this and enjoyed it some time. My main reasons to try pure farming were : * The variety of possible activities * The fact that workers were implemented in the base game (very good idea) * I was hoping the campaign would go through the features of the game and help learn things *…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Farming simulator is better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I agree with the other review. If I could give this neutral rating, I definitely would. Here is why. This game is similar to Farming Simulator 2017, so Pure Farming 2018 has all the good stuff from FS17. The good thing about this game compared to FS17 is that it has main quests to help new players who know nothing about farming. PF2018 also has more maps. Now here comes the bad things. This game is super buggy. For example in My First Farm a.k.a Campaign Mode, one of the pigsty has a bug that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IGNORE THE OLDER NEGATIVE REVIEWS:- I have just recently bought this game at a knockdown price. I have had no crashes or bugs as yet so, presumably, this game has been patched and sorted out. I own FS15 and have played many hours on that. This game is basically a copy of the FS Series, but with far more to do and experience. Graphics are good, but not brilliant. Gameplay could do with rather more NPC pedestrians and vehicles to bring the place to life a bit more. Good game and very good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun but painfully hard to drive the machinery (skill issue)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →downloaded this game on a whim, mostly because it was $3 USD and had a bunch of free DLC available. never played a farming simulator before, so what the heck, right? well, let me tell ya... it's kinda fun :) the story is all right, the graphics are adequate, the equipment is name-brand and of good quality. the tutorial/introduction at the beginning is a little clunky and information is occasionally a bit unclear at times but after working with it for awhile it gets better. I started it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good time spend. Its realy nice farming game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →F*** my wife and my social life!... just kidding, I don’t have a wife. Well… I don’t have a social life either. But give me a damn like and a mischievous hug if you want them to make a remake, remaster, or a new Pure Farming game! I can’t take it anymoooore, I’m gonna die!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The maps you play on feel empty and boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who often dreams of being a farmer yet lacks the knowledge and skills of one, I find that this game gives me the freedom to express the love of farming. It's not a faced paced game meaning I am able to play at my own pace and in my own freedom as to what to plant. I also enjoy the fact that you can build a farm from almost nothing to a farming empire.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this game for a while and didnt really get hooked. As a person who grew up playing FS, this game seems like a cheap copy. Not saying that its not fun, but if you played FS17 or FS19, this game wont be fun for you. It lacks some of the mechanics that already were in 2017 and the controls are not very good. Having almost no option in choosing your starting tractor, and the one you recieve is painfully slow. Its so slow in fact that you will probably spend 20 minutes trying to get to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought a key for less than £2, so I’m honestly just happy it runs at all 😄. But seriously — the game performs kind of weirdly. On my setup (i7-8700K and GTX 1080 Ti), I expected it to run flawlessly on ultra settings. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. When I set everything to max, I get around 70 FPS, but there are noticeable stutters and drops below 60 FPS whenever I start moving around or using vehicles. On high settings it’s better, but still not perfect — FPS stays around 80–100,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is so under optimized it stutters like an old grandma on late stage Alzheimer, I guarantee you won't get any closer to 60FPS even with a NASA Super Computer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are some things to like about Pure Farming. There’s also a lot that makes little sense, controls that are a Pure Mess, no autosave, and a fair amount of jank. Even so, it’s still mostly fun. I’ve put thousands of hours into the Farming Simulator games, and this feels like a lighter take on that formula. It’s not bad if you can overlook the nonsensical economy, crops being ready to harvest every three days, the lack of larger equipment, and the irrigation system, which is Pure Irritation.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really want to like this game, but there are far too many bugs to make me want to put any more time into it. Buggy farm hands, vehicle control glitches, vehicles I purchased disappearing from the game, etc. The game is 8 years old now, so it's clear the devs aren't interested in fixing anything. I'll keep that in mind when I run into any other games from Ice Flames.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great farming game to play if you can't afford Farming Simulator 25, its actually pretty good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a lot of potential. It's a shame that the developers just abandoned it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great farming game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was great in the beginning following along with the instructions on how to play the game. But then there are too many instructions on how to maintain the farm it gets very confusing and the land area is far too big to a beginner of this game. Once I go past the seeding the field I was unable to remember how to refill with wheat. The in-game instructions are vague and the game has gotten overwhelming 4 hours in.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is great like a normal Farming Simulator but it look like it came from Temu. But it was the farming simulator I got because my mom bought it for Easter for me back in 2019 for xbox. Love you mom <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game, too bad it does not have a successor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is better sims out there Game feels unpolished and clunky. Chickens and rabbits dont need food? Tedious plowing and crop mechanics. DLC cash grabs? if dlc was free i would give this game 6/10 DONT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME HERE!!!!!! 3/10 at present.......
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game with hours of grinding
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It had potential
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the best game you can buy for $3 (its on 90% discount). Personally I would buy this game if you plan to get farming simulator 22 but can't afford it just yet or are waiting for a discount on FS22. The game is fairly complete, and so far I have not ran into many game breaking bugs. The game is the best value you will find anywhere - provided the game is on sale at 90% off (for $3). So far I like the game, I have spent a decent amount of hours playing it. I am in the tutorial mode…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a bit early for a proper review, but I'm really impressed so far and wanted to share that while it's on sale. After getting completely sick of the endless bugfest, absolute contempt for the customer, useless DLC and tired old re-textures of old assets of the Farming Simulator franchise (since FS17), I thought I'd give this a go and I'm glad I did. The gameplay in this is a nice change from FSxx and it looks pretty good too. It's nice to see in this game (just like in real life but,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cheap imitation of Farming Simulator. it looks ok and does what it says on the box. But the maps are tiny. Vehicles are minimally animated, think san andreas but more polygons. It does a poor job with setting the location other thanthat of a generic european farm. The one US map just has the basic american style buildings and road signs, everything from the license plates to the vehicle brands and safety signs on them are unchanged. Over all, it just lacks a lot of the polish that FS has. get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far so good only been playing a little while but i love how big the map is and how open world almost it is its basically like all farm games but in a proper open world where you drive and operate the farm. its awesome i love it can be a little over whelming at first but that soon wears off when you start plowing field or harvesting a crop
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WORTH BUYING! (for a low price) Well the game is very buggy, but besides that it is a very nice game. Some parts could be done better. The AI for example, simple fails on working on field with any kind of trailers, or the interface is kinda confusing on plantage and greenhouses.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Considered I got the full game on a sale for less than 4€, this is definetely worth it. It's kind of small scale and made for singleplayer in mind. It even has a story (kind of). If you want a mechanically superior game of this kind that also has multiplayer, go for the Farming Simulator games. They cost a lot more though and have a lot of DLCs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your free download content wont download.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not fun ... No easy to control to play ... Headache with video in game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are you looking for an agricultural-related game, but not just want the most common types like grain and animals? Then this game is for you! However, I would like to point out that there is little selection of brands in game. This game is best suited for those who are most interested in agriculture, and not the machinery brands. In short a good farming game with nice graphics and different equimpent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's fun. it walks you through how the game works instead of just dumping you into a mess to figure out. the game plays well. it's pretty well thought through and gives you a decent feel for modern farming. it's well worth the price. i hope more people support it! if you already own the game, buying something simple like a $.99 shirt pack would really help the devs know how much you like it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game if you want something with good graphic that doesent require powrful pc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have never tried a farming sim before and know the game is a few years old but it has been pretty fun in terms of trying this type of game out so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really my cup of tea, despite this kind og games being my overall favorite genre. For starters the controls are VERY stiff, and there are too many commands and buttons for very simple tasks and actions. However, I can see this game was made with lots of love, so really my only complain is controls-based. The graphics are absurd, textures are great, and the music is very relaxing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ai worker is not available the pc game playing atleast minimal ai worker is hire better

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pure Farming 2018, developed by Ice Flames and published by Techland Publishing, attempts to redefine the agricultural simulation genre by offering a global farming experience that blends authenticity, variety, and modern technology. Instead of confining players to a single region, it takes them across the world—from the green plains of Montana to the rice fields of Japan, the coffee plantations of Colombia, and the vineyards of Italy. Each location comes with its own crops, equipment, and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great farming sim with tons of crops and vehicles to manage. Very relaxing and surprisingly deep gameplay for fans of the genre. The only downside is the graphics feel a bit dated compared to newer sims, but it doesn’t take away from the fun.
