For others, it allows them to step into jobs they could never have themselves. For that reason, we will be running down the top 5 job simulation games on the market.
5 Best Job Simulation Games
Football Manager
While this may technically be stretching the meaning as this is more of a sports simulation game, it does allow anyone to become a manager in the competitive and wild world of football. Over the years these games have become some of the most detailed and realistic simulation games in the world. Where it stands out above the rest is the level of customisation on offer to make the job easier or harder depending on your skill level.
You can hire your backroom staff and allow them to run training, pick lineups, and make deals on your behalf or you can have a stranglehold on everything going on from the best player on the team to a newcomer in the academy. No list of job simulation games is complete without the industry leader.
Flight Simulation
Flying a plane seems like a thrill ride, but one that comes with a lot of difficulty. Actual pilots require years of training to command a vehicle and anything can go wrong at the drop of a hat.
