The simulation genre in video games is a broad category that aims to replicate real-world activities, environments, or systems in a virtual space. Simulation games allow players to experience, control, and interact with environments or scenarios that mimic real-life activities, either with a focus on realism or through a more stylized or abstract approach.
Key Characteristics of Simulation Games:
Realism and Accuracy:
Many simulation games aim for high levels of realism, trying to recreate real-life mechanics, systems, or environments as accurately as possible.
Examples include flight simulators (like Microsoft Flight Simulator) or car simulators (like Gran Turismo), where players experience realistic physics and control systems.
Open-Ended Gameplay:
Simulation games often feature open-ended or sandbox-style
