Gaming will always get props from us for being one of the only hobbies that can turn everyday mundane tasks into some of the most engaging activities you can enjoy with a controller in your hand. We never thought it would be so therapeutic for us to spray high-pressure water to clean off dirty vehicles, put together a high-end PC, and simply cook up some fine cuisine in a video game, but here we are. Not only do the best simulator games offer up those kinds of objectives, but they also provide outlandish duties to fulfill - simulator games that are all about running your very own space exploration program, boxing promotion, and theme park come in abundance. Join us as we take a look at 21 simulator games that may sound boring on paper, but are immensely entertaining once you give them all a chance.
