It seemed redundant to even bother including a Beginner Mode in the first place considering it makes no effort to fulfil its purpose. It expects you to be the kind of person who picked up this newest edition after playing every single other game before it, and after all that – I couldn’t help but be left scratching my head. Even after selecting Beginner Mode, the game makes no effort to fill you in on your purpose or even any of the necessary controls required to play on the most basic level possible. Right off the bat, Farming Simulator 18 has an accessibility problem. What I wound up with was a game that certainly lived up to its name, but failed to capture my much of my attention beyond that. I came into the Farming Simulator 18 thinking I would get a giggle out of the fact that I was playing what was considered to be the subject of so many memes, but still expecting an enjoyable experience nonetheless, especially looking at how long the series has been going. The mere mention of the game to anyone in the know would almost guarantee a chuckle or three.

Over the years, Farming Simulator is a series that has become this huge in-joke within the gaming community.
