A simulation game is a type of video game that mimics real-life activities or systems. Players can engage in various scenarios, such as managing a city, running a farm, or even flying an airplane. These games often focus on strategy and decision-making, allowing players to experience the consequences of their choices in a virtual environment. In a simulation game, players might take on roles like a city planner or a business owner, where they must balance resources and plan for the future. Popular examples include The Sims, where players create and control characters, and SimCity, where players build and manage a thriving metropolis.
