    Those are little nitpicks though, really. Lawn Mowing Simulator is a detailed replica of the real-life equivalent that lawncare aficionados will presumably get a kick out of, but like so many of these “job simulator” type games, there’s a much wider appeal than just that core audience. A good mow is something anyone can take pride in, and with its serene locations, attention to detail, and a meditative effect of cleanly cutting through swathes of long grass, Lawn Mower Simulator turns what can feel like a chore in real life into a wonderfully relaxing experience.

    If you’re looking for a game that’s challenging yet relaxing, Lawn Mowing Simulator fits the bill. Starting up your own business, you need to choose your contracts carefully and mow lawns with care. And while it really does feel like work at times, there’s something seriously enjoyable about going back and forth in serene British parks and gardens, making them look prim and proper. Ultimately, Lawn Mowing Simulator is more addictive than it has any right to be.

    Lawn Mowing Simulator lands on PS5 in a good condition, though the lack of PS5-only features and a little bit of spit and polish wouldn’t have gone amiss. Thankfully, the zen wonderment of this game remains, and there’s really nothing else like it.

    Start your mowers, start aggressively into the battle with the overgrown grass (but not too aggressively in order as not to damage the engine) and show the world that you have mastered another absurd game.

    Thank goodness I didn't pay for this. I downloaded thinking it might be a nice chill game in which I put in the time and admire my handiwork.Thank goodness I didn't pay for this. I downloaded thinking it might be a nice chill game in which I put in the time and admire my handiwork. I was wrong. IMO they have screwed up THE most fundamental part of mowing lawns: in the game, your freshly mowed grass looks like ass compared to the unmown grass you are paid to deal with. How is making a property look worse meant to be satisfying?

    I might have been able to play it longer if not for the terrible draw distance. Any relaxing you were hoping would occur is ruined by the pop-in of the garden flowers right in front of you. Unacceptable for a PS5 game with so little happening.    … Full Review »

    A good game but a terrible port. Draw distance is like 10ft away from the player and pop in of garden objects like flowers is crazy.A good game but a terrible port.

Unacceptable on a ps5 and I hope they fix this soon because otherwise the game plays good and works decent on a wheel too.… Full Review »
