There’s a lot to be said about life simulation games. (Remember when Bondee was all the rage early this year?) They give you the freedom to do absolutely whatever you want, you can stop playing for months and easily pick up where you left off, and they’re incredibly fun to play–especially when you have a fiber-fast home WiFi connection.
Here are some of our favorite life simulation games–and one we’re looking forward to!
The Sims
From The Sims Official Website
We can’t talk about “life simulation” without mentioning one of the most popular games of all time: The Sims. This beloved series has captured audiences around the world thanks to its open-ended nature. You have the freedom to do whatever you want with your Sims–whether it’s building and designing your home, raising a family, or practicing a hobby, the possibilities are endless.
Despite being released in 2014, The Sims 4 is the most popular game from the franchise, with over 70 million players globally. The base game is free, too! Download The Sims 4 from The Sims official website and on Steam. You can also check out The Sims Mobile on your iOS or Android device.
Stardew Valley
From Stardew Valley on Steam
This farming RPG allows you to run your own farm, build relationships with your fellow villagers, and go on adventures, to name a few. Stardew Valley was developed by one person: ConcernedApe, a.k.a. Eric Barone, who found inspiration from Harvest Moon, one of the longest-running Japanese farming RPGs. Most players swear by Stardew Valley’s chill and relaxed pace, but the game has its faster-paced moments, too! Download Stardew Valley on Steam, the App Store, and Google Play.
Littlewood
From Littlewood on Steam
What sets Littlewood apart is where it begins. If almost every game (or even movie) entails saving the world, this adorable life simulation game starts after the world has been saved. Now, your goal is to build your town from scratch, get to know the people around you, and explore the rest of your surroundings! Play Littlewood on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Life by You
From the Life By You Official Website
Set to be released in March 2024, Life by You is an open-world life simulation game that allows you to create your own in-game content through mods. Using Creator Tools within the game allows you to customize even the gameplay–giving you the power to even break the rules within the game. Check out the official Life by You website for updates, or add it to your Steam wishlist!
