Forza Horizon, the best car racing simulator game
The Forza franchise is one of the most successful when it comes to simulating fast car driving and adrenaline rush.

Cities: Skylines, the best city simulation game
I started with Sim City on PC and half my life was on it, but the reboot for modern times was somewhat unsuccessful. Therefore, the best city simulator right now is Cities: Skylines .
Its objective is not very original, you have to create the most impressive city possible and you have infinite possibilities for it. However, its gameplay and the fact that there are already a lot of expansions (the first Cities: Skylines is from 2015), make it unbeatable city simulation game.
For PC and consoles , so without problem you have what you have at home to play.
Euro Truck Simulator 2, the best truck simulation game
If you’ve always wanted to know what it feels like to drive one of those huge trucks that cross Europe and make you go slow on the highway, you can.
The Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a veteran game but still very popular and that has taken a few Steam Awards . Some find it relaxing and many find it addictive.
There is also an American version to explore the endless highways of Route 66 or 101, as well as the most charismatic cities in the United States.
For PC only , bad luck if you have a console and you always wanted to know what it feels like to carry packages from Amazon.
Football Manager 2022, the best game to simulate being a football manager
We Spaniards always believe that we are a better soccer coach than all those who are paid millions for doing nothing. If you want to prove that this is the case, the best football simulation game is Football Manager 2022 .
