The PC version received "mixed" reviews, while the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions received "unfavorable" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/game/farming-simulator/critic-reviews/?platform=playstation-vita |title=Farming Simulator for PlayStation Vita Reviews |website=Metacritic |publisher=Fandom |access-date=November 27, 2022 |archive-date=November 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221127010240/https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/farming-simulator |url-status=live }} In Japan, where the console versions were ported and published by Russel on September 5, 2013, Famitsu gave them each a score of two nines and two sevens for a total of 32 out of 40.
The Digital Fix gave the PC version a score of six out of ten, calling it "a great management game, a great online experience and the ability to draw rude things in a field with a combine harvester." However, Digital Spy gave the Xbox 360 version two stars out of five, saying that it was "unintentionally entertaining at times, providing retrospective moments of amusement with its dodgy physics and tedious activities. But while it may capture the long, gruelling process of maintaining a farm, it doesn't do enough to maintain your attention." Metro gave the same console version one out of ten, saying, "Surreally awful on almost every level, the strangest thing about Farming Simulator is how little effort it makes at... simulating farming."{{cite news |last=Hargreaves |first=Roger |date=September 13, 2013 |url=https://metro.co.uk/2013/09/13/farming-simulator-review-no-joke-3983674/ |title=Farming Simulator review – no joke (X360) |newspaper=Metro |publisher=DMG Media |access-date=November 27, 2022 |archive-date=November 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221127004737/https://metro.co.uk/2013/09/13/farming-simulator-review-no-joke-3983674/ |url-status=live }}
