Lawn Mowing Simulator

A few niggles aside, Lawn Mowing Simulator is another game in the blossoming sim genre that takes workaday tasks and manages to create a zen, ASMR-esque experience that transcends boredom. This game certainly has a niche and won’t be for everyone but if might surprise you with how equally innocuous and engaging it is at the same time. Even for someone who hates mowing their lawn, I found this title to be enjoyable. If you’re looking for a new simulator in the same vein as Farming Simulator, House Flipper or Euro Truck, this certainly could be it.

Lawn Mowing Simulator did something to me that I didn’t think possible by grabbing my attention so well I didn’t want to play other games for awhile. While obviously a niche game Lawn Mowing Simulator does what it says it will do and does it well. If you have the slightest amount of curiosity about the game, I’d recommend it for sure.

Even with its minor issues and lengthy grind it still made the cut.

In one sense, spending hours mowing virtual lawns in a game could be considered a ridiculous waste of time. But aside from being a satisfying management sim, the act of mowing lawns in Lawn Mowing Simulator can be surprisingly relaxing and maybe even a little inspiring. This isn’t a lawn mowing version of Formula One, where you play a plucky kid with a push mower dreaming of glory on a shiny, souped- up John Deere. But it’s also much more than a one-joke game. Lawn Mowing Simulation is a full-featured product with a very specific focus, and a pretty well-made one, at that.

Ultimately though, you probably already know whether you’ll like Lawn Mowing Simulator or not. It allows you to venture into some lovely environments and cut grass from the comfort of your armchair. If that sounds appealing to you then you’ll probably love it. It can be quite relaxing at times, and also rewarding when you devise an effective grass-cutting strategy. If you have a real life lawn though, you’ll probably feel like you should just go and cut that rather than spend time cutting virtual ones. My lawn isn’t big enough to be cut with a sit-on lawn mower, however, so that’s my excuse.

When you add everything up though, including its lower price point of just £24.99 / $29.99, Lawn Mowing Simulator is a worthy purchase if you're keenly interested. The core gameplay is where it shines brightest, highlighted by intuitive driving controls, and the career mode is just about engaging enough to keep you invested — we'd just love to see a more in-depth version of it with multiplayer support in the inevitable Lawn Mowing Simulator 2.

Lawn Mowing Simulator does no more or less than its title. You will mow lawns on lawn mowers. Although there is a career mode, there’s little urging you to progress, making this a perfect mind-clearing title for those times when you just feel like cruising and bruising the buffalo.

Your task is moving and that is what will you do, you can choose from many types of mowers. Relaxing game with few bugs and technical issues but nothing major.

The game is nice. The graphics, vibration, map... but after 1 hour, the game gets very boring.

About as exciting as watching grass grow. Who enjoys this kind of game? If you like this, go out and mow lawns for real!!! Played for free on Luna.

Les développeurs indés ne doutent de rien et font vraiment… n’importe quoi ! un simulateur de tondeuses à gazon, putain ! au cas où tu te fais pas assez chier à tondre ta pelouse, tu peux aussi la tondre virtuellement dans plein de jardins… qui se ressemblent tous ! Même que tu peux faire « carrière » là-dedans avec tes tondeuses, tes employés (quand t’auras assez farmé, euh tondu de pelouses chez les bourges… mais la cougar éventuelle n’est pas incluse : on ne voit aucune housewife, dommage…). A mon troisième jardin en tout cas, j’en avais déjà ras le cul. Car le jeu est assez réaliste… trop réaliste sans doute : il en faut du temps pour tondre tout ça… et dire que c’est répétitif… c’est peu de le dire ! comme dit plus haut, c’est aussi chiant que dans le monde réel, voire pire encore. Notons cependant que même boulotté avc cette daube d’Unity, le jeu n’est pas trop vilain et qu’il tourne en haute résolution à 60 im/s. Encore heureux me dira-t-on… sur Series X (ou S) quand même ! mais bon… ils vendent quand même ce ‘truc’ complètement idiot et abrutissant 30 boules… il fallait oser mais ils osent tout, les étrons indés !
