![]() ![]() Once more the locations appeared on the mini map and I walked to the yard to collect the harvester. ![]() Happy with my initial progress I decided to go for a second job that required the use of a combine harvester. Success in the task rewards you with money which you can spend on new machinery and later, the hire of workers to compete the jobs for you. The job does not complete until you hit 100%. A timer begins, giving you around 45 minutes to complete the task and a progress bar slowly fills as you drive up and down the muddy field. Heading off to the field which is a brief drive away either across country or civilised via the traffic laden roads, you are prompted to lower the tractor equipment into the ground and start cultivating the field. Examples of the controls are the ability to turn on and off vehicle working lights, raise and lower equipment and also alter the side it is deployed on. I’m lucky enough to be married to a farmer’s daughter and I can say from experience that tractors can turn a lot easier than this! With a press of a controller button a handy wheel appears that allows you to take over the more intricate controls of the vehicle that you are currently driving. The game mechanics of driving the tractor along with the camera seemed a little clunky and at times frustrating with the turning circle of the tractor being one of my biggest issues. I chose to cultivate a field and immediately the mini map showed me the location of the cultivator attachment that I required and the field in question. Picking what task you would like to do from the job board allows you to select between various work that is currently available. ![]() Starting with a tractor you are plunged into a decent sized 4K world with various fields, depots and shops that you can visit to either earn or spend money. I went with the career side of things and like most sims this began with a tutorial to slowly teach you the skills required to be a successful farmer. You have the choice to play either in “Free Mode” where you start with a farm from the off and can rapidly develop it or if you fancy a challenge, and have a lot of time on your hands, there is “career mode” where you start from the very beginning. From sowing crops, tending to livestock and then buying and selling using the real time economy, you can live the farming dream, well that’s the hope anyway before the likes of the supermarket giants come and screw you over. Having watched the trailer countless times prior to being given the chance to review the game, I couldn’t wait to explore the countryside in stunning 4k all the while bobbing about on my tractor. Real Farm is set in America although in-game currency can be selected as either dollars or euros. With the farming sim world pretty much dominated by Giants Software’s Farming Simulator franchise, is there enough of a want for another simulator of this type? Who in their right mind would own a white tractor!!!? Gameplay Real Farm by development studio Triangle Studios (Aerea, The Bug Catcher, Uphill Rush) and published by Soedesco (Tricky Towers, The Girl and the Robot), is the latest foray into the agricultural sim marketplace of, you’ve guessed it, farming! ![]()
