Farming simulators have garnered a reputation for being the ultimate cozy gaming experience, yet I can't help but find myself getting too wrapped up in mastering ranch life. Gone are the days of cluelessly buying seeds and animals just because they're cute. Now, it's all about seasonal crop optimization for max profit and investing in animals that have a bountiful gold turnover.
Because of my need to optimize every inch of my farmyard, the relaxing nature of these games quickly dissipates.
