Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is a firefighting simulator that boasts impressive graphics, artificial intelligence, interesting missions, and a superbly designed fire station. It’s a simulator with all the trimmings, but it has one significant weakness—a lack of variety in the calls. In my opinion, this is the game’s biggest flaw, which can make it feel repetitive fairly quickly.

RV There Yet? is a chaotic, humorous, and surprisingly addictive co-op game that can turn even a mundane detour into an unforgettable experience. Its greatest strength lies in working together to overcome absurd obstacles, which often end in laughter—and arguments. However, it suffers from technical bugs, overly aggressive wildlife, and, above all, a single map that quickly leads to repetition. Still, thanks to its low price, it’s a fun little game that offers several intense hours of chaos.

Barn Finders is a quirky simulator that’s original, fun, and completely simple. The barns are exceptionally well-designed, mainly because each one is unique. Exploring and searching for all kinds of items is fun rather than repetitive, which I really appreciate, especially for a simulator. The auctions are mostly just there to pad out the content, but they’re definitely worth checking out. What the developers didn’t get right, however, are the DLCs, which are unfinished, poorly executed, and, to top it off, overpriced.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a well-made game. The zombie apocalypse theme isn’t particularly original, but it’s executed well here, and that’s what matters most. Setting the game in the 1980s gives it an interesting atmosphere that blends beautifully with the chosen visual style. However, this isn’t a game you’ll sink dozens of hours into—unfortunately, it doesn’t offer that much content just yet. I also have to point out that you know almost nothing about the characters you’re trying so hard to save. Overall, though, it’s a high-quality 2.5D survival game that I’ll be very happy to return to once the full release comes out.

The Executive is a clicker game for managers, but one that really makes you think. I really like the game’s overall theme, so it was no problem for me to get completely absorbed in it and enthusiastically come up with various movie combinations. The graphics are very colorful throughout, and in my personal opinion, they suit the game perfectly. Aside from a few shortcomings, everything fits together beautifully, and it’s one of the better management simulators out there.

Disco Simulator is a game that will keep you entertained for a few hours, but unfortunately, I was expecting a little more. Yes, decorating and managing the club are fun, but the game doesn’t offer enough content, so it gets repetitive faster than I expected. The constant resetting of progress was the biggest drawback for me. However, if you just want to relax with a game, Disco Simulator might be the right choice for you.

Thief Simulator 2 is a great example of how creating a sequel to a simulator can pay off—but only if you know how to do it right. Although the change in developer might have seemed like a bad decision, it certainly wasn’t. It’s clear that the developers took great care with the final product. They’ve introduced a lot of new content, so players can spend several more hours robbing houses with a bit of adrenaline pumping through their veins.

In my opinion, Thief Simulator is an original game that offers a ton of thieving gadgets and possibilities. When breaking into a house, the game does a great job of drawing you into the action and transferring the character’s nervousness and adrenaline rush to you, the player. However, there’s always room for improvement, so I’m curious to see how Nobble Muffins handled the second installment and what new features the game has to offer.

Brewpub Simulator offers plenty of ways to have fun, and it’s a great concept for a game. But the concept isn’t everything—proper execution is also key, and the developers didn’t quite pull that off. Yes, brewing beer, taking care of your customers’ well-being, and generally improving and renovating the bar is great and fun, but after all the glitches and poor optimization, that smile will likely fade from your face. If you like the game, I recommend waiting a bit before buying it—maybe we’ll see some fixes after all. Until then, my rating hovers between a recommendation and a non-recommendation.

Unfortunately, Fire Commander has a very slow and unengaging start, which may well put off many players right from the beginning. At its core, it’s a rather average strategy game, but—at least in my opinion—it’s original in its own way and can even be pleasantly surprising over time. However, if you’re not into games centered around emergency services, I’d venture to say this isn’t for you.

Timberborn is undoubtedly one of the best building strategy games out there. The developers really put a lot of effort into the game, and the content will keep players entertained for dozens of hours while also making them think. That’s what I call the perfect combination. I’m also very curious to see how the developers will handle the game going forward and whether we can expect any substantial updates with new content.

Builder Simulator certainly has a lot to offer, but it’s aimed at a specific audience of players—just like most simulators. Objectively speaking, though, I have to say that I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit, aside from a few minor details. It offers a wide range of tools, several game modes, and the graphics, combined with the optimization, are well done. I do have to criticize the rather brief tutorial, though, which was more or less unable to help me while completing contracts, leading to some frustration.

House Flipper offers hours of fun combined with rest and relaxation, which I think is the perfect combination. Players can tap into their creativity and imagination here, which isn’t all that common in simulators. The game really gives you free rein, and in my opinion, that’s why it’s been so popular for several years now. The feeling of monotony after a few hours or even dozens of hours of play is just a minor flaw. Still, after a while, you’ll find your way back to renovating.

Pupperazzi is aimed at a specific audience of gamers, but unfortunately, I don’t fall into that group. That said, I have to admit that the game exceeded my expectations. After all, it’s a truly simple yet cute and relaxing game. So if you’re having a bad day, this dog-filled game is just the thing to calm your mind.

Brilliantly written and original characters, some interesting choices, the game’s overall atmosphere, and, to top it all off, an excellent soundtrack. The adventure game Road 96 offers all of this, easily drawing you into its gripping and powerful story.

After a long time, I can say with a clear conscience and my hand on my heart that I truly enjoyed this survival game in every way. The developers came up with an original concept, graphics that I found charming, and plenty of fun. The constant unlocking of new items and machines keeps you hooked on the game, as does the joy of creating your first lake or seeing a tree grow. If the developers keep their promises, they’ll bring The Planet Crafter to perfection.

In conclusion, I’d describe Volcanoids as a survival game, but one that’s different from the other survival games you’re familiar with. Survival here doesn’t depend on having enough food and drinking water, but rather on upgrading your equipment and your drill. So you can have fun with your friends while playing, but you’ll also have to work up a sweat completing various missions from your captain.

I definitely give Animal Shelter a positive review, as it filled me with a sense of calm and joy. It’s a typical relaxing game with a bonus: the cuteness of the animals. While it’s true that after a few hours of playing, everything basically repeats in a loop, on the other hand, the price of just under seventeen euros is reasonable, and if you’re having a bad day, I highly recommend this as a surefire way to lift your spirits.

DYSMANTLE is undoubtedly one of the best survival games of recent times. The developers have clearly shown us that simple graphics, controls, and gameplay mechanics are enough to create an entertaining game, as long as it offers diverse content. Another plus is that you can play the game in co-op mode with your friends.

All in all, Accident is a fairly well-made simulator with a very good concept: providing first aid at the scene of a car accident and then determining how the crash actually happened. On the downside, the game suffers from a lack of variety, subpar graphics, and a very short playtime of around two to three hours.
