What is a simulation game?
Simulation games model a system or activity: running a city, managing a business, driving a vehicle, caring for animals, or living a daily life. Many modern sims are HTML5/WebGL browser games, so you can play on PC, tablet, or phone without installs.
How to choose your sub‑genre
- Life simulation: story, daily routines, choices.
- City‑building & management: plan, build, balance resources.
- Business/tycoon: produce, trade, optimize profit.
- Vehicle & driving: handling, traffic, parking challenges.
- Animal sim: explore as an animal, care and survive.
- Sandbox & physics: experiment, create, break things.
