Rather than pressing a button or waiting for a timer, this is a game that asks you to do everything yourself - from manning the combine harvester and gathering your crops, to ploughing the fields down again, and choosing the next seed to sow. Before too long, you'll be reaping what you sow, buying up extra patches of land, and expanding your farm around the world to Italy, Japan, and Colombia - a long way from your humble roots in the US of A.Īs with many games like this, Pure Farming 18 is a game that places a lot of emphasis on immersion.
Providing some much needed structure to the game, the career mode constantly throws missions and objectives your way, meaning there's always something to be working towards, and a goal to achieve.
Slowly easing you into the world of farming, you'll take on a series of missions that work as more of a quick tutorial than anything else, as the game talks you through the many different processes you'll need to keep an eye on while running the farm - but what's surprising is that, rather than drying up, the tasks keep coming. Seeing you inheriting a farm from your late granddad, the game's career is an objective based mode that gives you targets, missions and goals to complete.
Always good to have a sunroof in a tractorįirst, and perhaps most significant, is the addition of a mode that answers a lot of the criticisms aimed at games like Farming Sim - a proper career, or as the game calls it, "campaign" mode.
