4 reviews in Simulation — played start to finish, scored with both nostrils.
First impressions after five hours: a gleefully grim 'sell hot dogs by day, source meat by night' sim with a killer PS1 aesthetic and a premise to match. The vibe is great — the horror and the story barely show up.
A genuinely therapeutic cleaning loop buried under Early Access jank and an unanswered AI-content question. The foam is satisfying; almost everything around it needs another few months in the shop.
The most comprehensive farming sim ever made, held back by the same jank it's carried for a decade. Rice paddies and terrain deformation are lovely; pallet physics still want you dead.
The most relaxing game about total misery ever made. Six years and eighteen seasons later, the mud simulation is still unmatched and the herd is still winching.
