1) Not a whole lotta difference between FS25 and FS22. Graphics look about the same, vehicles look about the same, physical are about the same, etc. A few new crops, yes, but really not more than that. 2) The AI in FS25 is HORRIBLE. And I don't say that lightly. I mean HORRIBLE. Yes, you have the option of AI working the headlands or not, but the AI does not seem able to detect where to start or stop, or where the actual rows are. It will leave big patches of field untouched, and especially on the corners. I'm talking about square or rectangular fields here - simple, not wierd-shaped fields that could cause it some issues. And most of the time the AI will come to the end of a row, and then suddenly - stop. The AI is still active, you're still paying for it - but it just sits there forever without moving. It gets stuck, and can't figure out how to turn around and start the next row!

Also, you cannot use more than one planter/harvester/etc. on a single field in AI mode. If you try to add another AI vehicle - say, you have a massive square field, so you want one planter working the left side and another working the right side, it just can't happen. The 2nd one will say "this field has already been worked" or something. So you are forced to harvest or plant a massive field with only one harvester or planter.

3) the new crops (peas, spinach, green beans, etc.) don't fit in any silos, at least not that I can find. I bought a huge silo that says "for storing crops," and then planted a field with spinach. Harvested it - manually, because the AI couldn't figure out how to simply go back and forth and harvest the stupid field - but when I tried to empty my trailer in the silo, it said "doesn't accept spinach." And of course none of the silos list which crops they accept, so when they say "for storing crops" you just ASSUME they mean all crops, but actually that is not true. After selling about 10 silos and buying 10 new ones, each one not accepting spinach, I was forced to just go directly to market and sell each truckload there, even though it was the time of year when the price for spinach was the lowest possible. Why wouldn't Giant list which crops each silo is able to store?? Why should I have to experiment by buying a ton of silos to see if they work or not?

To me, the AI being broken is a deal-breaker for me. I honestly don't enjoy spending hours and hours manually going over a field for each stage (cultivating, planting, fertilizing, rolling, mulching, harvesting, etc.), pass by pass by pass. Call me lazy or whatever, but I prefer to let the AI do all of that, while I drive the truck during harvest. That's just my personal play-style. I paid for the game, I should be able to play it anyway I like. So if the AI doesn't work, then I'm forced to do things I don't really enjoy, which kinda beats the purpose of playing the game. Why play a game doing things I don't enjoy? I like the option of AI because it frees me up to do other things. And the AI in this game is completely broken.

Hopefully Giant fixes the AI problems in some upcoming update. If not, I'm afraid I'm done with this one. And of course I can't go back to FS22 because when I launch it, it says "Giant Engine failed," even though it worked just fine before I purchased FS25. :) Very, very disappointing.

great game 23.5/24.94



game is good looks good simple easy to use like using a can opener for that stuck on jam jar lid may not be praticail or reasonable but it may work or you jam can opener into hand causing hurt.

I bought this and play it because I don't want to waste my money. HOWEVER. Whoever was in charge of movement dynamics in this game needs to seriously be fired. Why does my character move like they are ice skating? Why do I drift WHEN WALKING around corners? So incredibly infuriating. Stupid game mechanic and unrealistic. I do NOT recommend this game for that reason. If I wasn't past the two hour mark I'd have refunded. I never leave reviews but this otherwise really fun game is completely ruined by stupid, useless movement mechanics. Literally makes me angry for some reason.
