1Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Travel across Europe as king of the road, a trucker who delivers important cargo across impressive distances! With dozens of cities to explore, your endurance, skill and speed will all be pushed to their limits.
Oct 12, 2012
In this game, you can…
- practice alley-docking so much in-game that it carries over to real CDL-style trailer backing tests.
- join online convoys where a small bump can turn into a cross-country chase, or into a friendly honk-and-wave road trip with strangers.
- install major map mods and end up convoying through places like Iceland on custom roads with new physics and navigation.
- start with quick jobs, buy your first truck, take out loans, hire drivers, and grow into a multi-garage fleet that earns while you're out hauling.
- hammer down the highway with the speed limiter off, then sweat every speed camera and fine as you try to keep the delivery on time.
- reverse a full trailer into a tight loading bay and park it cleanly.
- cross a border and immediately deal with new road rules, new signage, and suddenly driving on the opposite side in the UK.
- haul everything from fuel and chemicals to oversized machinery and vehicles, then adjust how you drive to keep the cargo intact.
- tune in to live local radio stations as you drive and switch countries until the music and traffic rhythm sync up with the route.
2American Truck Simulator - Experience legendary American trucks and deliver various cargoes across sunny California, sandy Nevada, and the Grand Canyon State of Arizona.

Feb 2, 2016
In this game, you can…
- get stuck in a traffic jam because there's a small plane sitting on the highway behind cones and a cop car.
- neglect your truck and have it get worse mid-trip, like the engine starting to fail or the gearbox losing high gears.
- start as a hired driver, buy your first truck, then build garages and hire drivers until your fleet's income covers your tickets and repairs.
- choose a hard backing-in, an easy pull-in, or skip parking at the end of every delivery.
- back a long trailer into a loading dock using only your mirrors, with handling that can feel real enough to train the skill.
- roll into a delivery yard at night with a double load, thread tight turns without clipping anything, then inch the trailer into place a few feet at a time.
- hit the brakes and downshift an 18-speed in fog and rain when a car blows a stop sign, then still make the dock, grab a new trailer, and keep hauling.
- run convoys with friends, drive side by side, refuel together, and deal with the same chaotic merges while everyone watches it happen.
3Mini Motorways - Mini Motorways is a strategy simulation game about designing the road map for a growing city. Build a traffic network, one road at a time, to create a bustling metropolis. Redesign your roads and place your motorways to get everyone where they need to go. How long can you keep the city moving?
Jul 20, 2021

- play daily and weekly challenges with special rule twists, including modes where roads become permanent and planning is final.
- reroute an entire city while cars keep driving.
- get a random set of upgrades each week—bridges, tunnels, roundabouts, motorways, or traffic lights—and build around whatever shows up.
- drop a motorway as an instant bypass, then watch both entrances become the new choke points you have to rebuild around.
- save limited bridges and tunnels for the exact moment rivers or mountains force your hand.
- push a run into the thousands of trips, where the map keeps zooming out and every new spawn forces a layout rethink.

Apr 1, 2021
In this game, you can…
- build rail tracks and signals that function like logic circuits, letting the railway behave like a computer.
- use mods to add entirely new industries and cargo chains, like 48 cargo types feeding 30 different industries.
- run dozens or even hundreds of trains through the same junction without stopping, if your signals and layout are right.
- build a rail network so huge the whole map turns into tracks.
- chain a coal mine to a faraway power plant by rail and turn that long-haul route into a profit engine.
- link road, rail, ships, and planes into one station hub so cargo transfers between them across a single network.

- plant trees all over a town's buildings and yards to win approval and steer how the city grows.
6Mini Metro - Mini Metro is a strategy simulation game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving?
Nov 6, 2015
In this game, you can…
- play a mode where the lines you draw are permanent, so every route becomes a long-term commitment you can't undo later.
- pause constantly to pick up trains, drop them at problem stations, and build temporary one-stop lines to bleed pressure off the map.
- watch trains make smart decisions, dropping passengers at interchanges to transfer instead of taking everyone on pointless loops.
- draw a subway line between three stations and watch your first train start running the route.
- redraw your whole network mid-run as new stations appear and one distant corner suddenly starts choking with crowds.
- choose one weekly upgrade, like another line, extra carriages, or tunnels and bridges to cross water.
- reroute trains and rebuild lines in a short window when a station starts filling up and the overload meter appears.
- deal with rare new station shapes that show up later and force interchanges, even when they spawn across water or in hard-to-reach corners.
- build around city maps where rivers, lakes, and islands force hard tunnel-or-bridge decisions just to connect stations.
7shapez 2 - Factory - Dive into a factory-building game with the focus on just that – building huge space factories! Design sprawling multi-level factories and satisfying production lines without limits. Tackle progressively challenging automation goals at your own pace, without the threat of enemies.
Apr 23, 2026
In this game, you can…

- run space trains between platforms to move shapes where belts can't reach.
- solve shape puzzles where only one side can be cut or swapped, forcing you to reorient parts mid-line.
- overbuild on purpose, like making 200 parts per minute when you only need 400 total.
- play challenge setups like 1x1 platforms or one-way trains, then still figure out how to assemble the required shape.
8Captain of Industry - Build an industrial empire on a remote island.
