14 “boring” Simulation Video Games That Are Actually Completely Addictive
Video games have a reputation for frenetic action, but there’s a whole class of simulation games that defy that conventional wisdom. They don’t put you in an imaginary situation, give you unlimited power, or increase your adrenaline levels, creating a life-and-death conflict. They are not exciting. Instead, they are deliberately repetitive simulations of mundane aspects of real life. Instead of thrills, they offer a challenge that, for some players, is relaxing – and that’s where the magic lies.
It’s hard to explain exactly why so many players find it more fun and exciting to drive the route of a virtual bus for hours and hours than stomp goombas or kill terrorists, but I guarantee that if you try all the games listed here, you will become dangerously addicted to at least one of the them.
