Farming Simulator 22
Whether you’re a fan of the farming studio’s series or looking to explore what life as a farmer is really like, Farming Simulator won’t disappoint. The goal is simple: build your dream farm, expand your operations, and get rich from all your hard work. As you complete massive contracts and tasks, you’ll earn enough money to buy new and better equipment.

Reach even higher heights with the ability to attach forestry and timber modules to machines and clear massive amounts of land for new barns, fields, and pastures. Combine this with cross-platform multiplayer and you can enjoy chatting with friends whilst tending to your land.
Lawn Mowing Simulator
Stay in the grass with this insanely detailed lawn mowing simulator, which will make you feel like a real pro by the time you’ve finished your first lawn. We’re not kidding either – the amount of realistically implemented detail in each aspect of the mower and the lawn itself make this feel like the real thing.
Execute meticulous ground checks, adjusts blade height to get that fairway just right, and even manage your very own lawn care empire with this fascinatingly in-depth game. We won’t tell your neighbours that you’ll not only become the best damn lawn mower in the neighbourhood but also manage their lawns whilst you expand your successful career. Cast sarcasm aside and we guarantee your grass will thank you once you’re done – and then drive to the next house, because you’ve got work to do (and money to earn).
Farm Manager 19
There are plenty of farming games out there but Farm Manager 19 is more than just your classic management simulator game. It lets you feel the joy of working the land and raising livestock – the kind of life you only dreamt of back in the city. Take over your foster parent’s farm and establish a new legacy. Develop the farm by adding useful upgrades, create new buildings, and manage livestock and unique crops in this classic farming game.
Jurassic World Evolution 2
After the success of the first Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier promised that its sequel would be bigger and better – and so it turns out to be. Customize your own bio-sites on different islands from around the world, hire scientists to work alongside you, and shape your park to meet the needs of both guests and dinosaurs. Endeavour to shape your island into a scientific paradise for dinosaurs and guests alike, whilst constantly maintaining harmony between the two.
Unleash your inner park manager in the legendary GT Simulation Mode, where you can buy, tune, and race through a rewarding solo campaign to reach legendary new levels. Immerse yourself in the lives of your students as you build libraries, hire eccentric professors, and offer unique courses like Knight School and Gastronomy in Two Point Campus.
Whether the immersive and quirky simulation games are part of your daily life or part of your increasingly simple fantasy, they’re here to stay. And if VR is your thing, you might enjoy Work Simulator and its frustrating-but-fascinating not-so-historically-accurate representation of work life before AI took over. There are plenty of choices out there, which will typically leave lots of hours for you to invest in.
