Simulation

Simulation brings together games and software that model an activity, profession, vehicle, system or everyday routine through interactive rules. Accuracy can range from technical recreation to playful approximation, but the central appeal lies in operating, managing or learning the subject rather than merely using it as scenery.

The category spans flight and vehicle software, cooking, pets, medicine, renovation, fashion and economic management, while rhythm or action titles remain separate when performance is their true core. Coverage can assess controls, realism, progression, accessibility, peripheral support, technical behaviour and the value of different versions.
