The best simulation video games available, casting the spell

November 14, 2017 Posted by A.K. Patel Editorial No Comments

Simulation video games are a product of our own reality, computer generated worlds with the help of AR and VR tech make simulation games a worthy learning curve.

The Best Simulation Video Games Available 

Video games today come in an assortment of genres and playable titles. Everything from adventure games, role-playing games, first person shooters, and now, more recently, virtual reality (VR) games have a place in the gaming domain.

It’s fast paced and immersive, modern video games and the games available at Gaming Club NZ captivate players and submerge them into a suspended reality that allow for an extension beyond the self-realization of you and your own human body.

There is no single genre of video game that mimics reality moreso than the simulation video game.

A simulation video game mimics reality almost inseparably. It’s a computer-generated carbon copy of the world, and has been designed with one clear focus in mind. Simulation games are often developed to train certain fields of humanity, and analyze and predict human outcomes. The following games are the best simulation games available to date.

Fly With Flight Simulator X

Flight Simulator X developed by Microsoft Game Studios will wrap you, twist you, and turn you over in a 360-degree motion for good measure. Whether you’ve always dreamed of conquering the skies or if you’re just an airborne fanatic, Flight Simulator X has exactly what you’re looking for in a flight simulation video game.

The game is entirely based on real world aircraft controls and allows you to experience what it’s like to be a top dog in Top Gun, first hand. Twist in modern aircrafts for good measure and you’ll be king of the air in no time at all. The Top Gun: Hard Lock game for Xbox 360 also offers a great flight simulator experience.

Enter Your U-boat With Pride

Silent Hunter III is a submarine simulation video game developed by Ubisoft. You take command of a submarine, or U-boat, in World War II, slowly entering the peril of the underground graveyard of ships. Your duty is simple: seek and destroy.

The effect of submarines in WW 2 was undeniable as they changed the face of the shipping lanes and ushered in a silent kind of control many were afraid to tackle. That’s exactly the kind of feeling Silent Hunter 3 provides players with as it gives you full control, allowing players to focus in on being a submarine captain commanding his crew, rather than being an insubordinate charged with tedious duties.

Experience The Hype With Assetto Corsa

From super cars to hyper cars and beyond, Assetto Corsa developed by Kunos is a breathtaking affair strictly for the love of cars. Praised for its technical driving ability and realistic sense of handling that makes you feel like you own the car this driving simulator game affords players with true freedom on the race track.

The game itself does have its downfalls and top critics agree that certain F1 simulators go above and beyond what Assetto Corsa has to offer, but the game’s appeal lies in its down-to-earth driving bliss, which truly places you in the driver’s seat of some of the best road-going cars in the world.

Harvest Your Crops With Farming Simulator 15

In Farming Simulator 15 there’s no room for error or cutting corners. The real hard gritty of what it takes to be a farmer is exposed in this game. It’s a true reflection of life in a working farm and will leave players astonished at the kind of rugged effort it takes to work the land.

Farming Simulator 15 is unforgiving and the realism in the game is apparent from the get go. If you want to become a farmer, and a successful one at that, it’s going to be long hours of hard work. The game gives you no short cuts either; a few simple tutorials set you on your way, and if you’ve never dealt with farming machinery before, get prepared to learn.

The rise of smartphones - and ever-better mobile internet speeds – in that period has opened up great opportunities for gambling providers. Where you once had to make a special effort to go to what’s now known as a ‘land-based casino’ – and probably had to live in a big town or city or travel to one – the power of the smartphone has removed those physical barriers.
