Whether you want to take a break from reality with a zoo, a city, an amusement park, or a hospital full of angry clowns — a simulation game can be just the ticket.
Cities: Skylines.This is a shot of only one of many very very bad traffic configurations I created inBut then you'll add clean water, and your city will grow. Little bars at the bottom of the screen tell you how much demand there is for different kinds of zoning, and when you see that orange bar grow, that means your people want some Industrial Zone space. So you lay it out, and businesses move in.
There is a small-"c" conservative bent to such a game, of course, because how things have worked is how they must always work. In a year in which even more attention than before has gone to calls to reform police, change how they operate, and potentially give themmoney, a strictly linear relationship between the number of police cars and the amount of happiness seems fanciful, like setting up the game so that adding roads increases a city's population of red pandas.
The game's sense of time is either intentionally or unintentionally hilarious: Patients will sometimes storm out of the hospital angry about the time it's taken for a doctor to see them, and you'll see in their information that they waited in your hospital for like a year and a half, drinking from your drink machines, eating from your snack machines, and playing your arcade games. That's just too long for a sick clown to chill.
Take note: This game was developed by a British studio, so there is no billing of patients and there are no insurance companies. So that's a couple of doses of reality you do not have to worry about.This one isn't on Switch , so to play it, I have to sneak up to my office and sequester myself up there to play on my PC.
