Great game but the achievements a little bit insane and the servers are not really working. But if you like retro games like me it's an instant purchase.

If you have problems with motion sickness in games, especially from "camera shake" or "head bobbing" options in them, then you WILL likely have problems with this game. The controller binds are very awkward compared to more modern games. For example the gas and brake/reverse are on the left stick's y axis and share a bind so they cannot be on the two triggers that is the normal style now. If those are not an issue then this is a very solid game, especially for the price. There are a lot of QoL features that get added in later games (like being able to change the timescale from in game instead of having to back out to the menu) but overall it feels enough like the later versions that if you're looking to see if you like Farming Simulator as a franchise/genre this is a safe pick at only $8. It's not hard to get mods in the newer games (especially 22 and 25 which have them right in the main menu), but if that's not your thing, then this game could also be a great pick up if you want: 1. To have a version with smaller equipment - you can definitely manage with the 75 hp tractors and even going up to the 150 hp tractors should be enough for the bigger (maybe even for the biggest) equipment available. or 2. To be a farm manager juggling many workers doing all sorts of jobs (although some jobs cannot be done by workers at all - for example: fertilizing) as the fields progress through the stages quickly.

Farming Simulator 2011 delivers a surprisingly captivating and relaxing experience for players who want to explore the life of a modern farmer. Even though it’s from an earlier era of the franchise, the game offers a solid foundation of farming simulation mechanics that laid the groundwork for the series’ future success. One of the best things about Farming Simulator 2011 is its straightforward yet satisfying gameplay loop. Players can engage in various farming tasks, such as plowing fields, sowing seeds, and harvesting crops. The game allows you to manage every aspect of the farm, from raising livestock to selling your produce in a realistic economy. This provides a sense of progression and accomplishment as your farm grows and becomes more profitable over time. The machinery and equipment in Farming Simulator 2011 are modeled after real-world tractors, harvesters, and other farming tools, making the experience feel authentic. While the roster of equipment isn’t as vast as in newer versions, the selection is still diverse enough to keep you engaged and let you experience the different aspects of farming. Visually, the game holds up well for its time, with scenic rural landscapes and peaceful countryside environments. Driving your tractor through fields with the sun setting in the distance creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. The game's slower pace and immersive setting allow you to take your time and appreciate the details of farm life. Multiplayer mode is also a nice feature, enabling you to collaborate with friends and manage your farm together, adding a fun social element to the experience. In summary, Farming Simulator 2011 is a fantastic entry in the series, offering a rewarding mix of farming tasks, authentic machinery, and a relaxing open-world environment. Whether you're an experienced virtual farmer or just curious about the genre, this game provides hours of engaging and enjoyable gameplay. It may not have the bells and whistles of its successors, but its simplicity and charm are sure to win you over.

2013, 15, 17, 19, and 22 are all only about twice the price of this and all big improvements, so get any of those instead even if you're on a tight budget. 2013 was where the game started to feel complete, but each number up comes with a big jump in quality of life features. Buy a newer version, but this was a really fun game in it's time.

Played this back when it came out, very fond memories! The series has continued for many many more entries. It's probably worth checking the newer editions out, but for the sake of nostalgia this gets a recommend :)
