Farming Simulator 2013
IGN gave it a mixed review. Graphically the game's environment is far behind but the machines look good. Sounds are limited to the game. Even though the game is lacking in scenes it is a "unique business simulation that rewards you proportionally to the amount of work you put into it".[11]
