Farming Simulator 17 is another installment in the series of simulators of farm. This time, the game was published by Focus Home Interactive, but the development was still carried out by GIANTS Software, known from the previous parts of this series. The mechanics remain unchanged - the players become farmers, who need to take good care of their establishment. During the game, much attention has to be paid to the economic side of the management - the right equipment needs to be purchased, used for sawing, gathering crops, and moving the goods around. Traditionally, the player can control many different machines, all with official licenses from real manufacturers, and personally take care of various tasks in the field. The new installment obviously introduces some changes and novelties. Contrary to previous games, Farming Simulator 17 was released on PC, XONE and PS4 simultaneously.

Goat Simulator is a humorous simulator that serves as a commercial extension of the joke game made by Swedish Coffee Stain (known primarily from the Sanctum series). The game lets you control a crazy goat named Pilgor which destroys everything in the virtual world. The goal is to cause as much damage as possible with the use of a wide range of absurd accessories, like rockets, explosives, etc. It was the developers’ ambition to create a big cliché parody, mocking low-budget simulators. Therefore, Goat Simulator features loads of purposely implemented humorous bugs. The editor gives you a chance to create your own levels and share them with others through the Internet. On the technical side, the game utilizes the power of Unreal Engine 3.

The player's mission is to find an appropriate den and ensure the safety of the badger family. The player has to provide basic living conditions for the small badgers. The world is full of dangers, however, such as environmental threats (fast-flowing rivers or steep slopes), or hunters and predators, against whom the female badger does not stand a chance. The creators put special emphasis on recreating the bonds existing between the mother badger and her cubs. The game features extremely original visuals that contribute to the game's unique experience.

A simulation game from the Spanish studio RECO Technology, focusing on the world-famous bullfighting, rooted deeply in Spanish culture, but also causing huge controversies around the world. We start as a novice torero and try to become a prominent figure on the arena. To achieve this, we must climb up the ladder by taking part in more and more prestigious contests. Gameplay is based on the aforementioned bullfights, which mostly come down to repeating the same gestures to draw animal’s attention. Sometimes a bull will get the better of the protagonist, forcing the player to deal with a QTE sequence in order to minimize the damage from mauling. Quick reactions are crucial for getting through the game. Three-dimensional visuals of Toro are rather poor, due to it being a low budget project.

It is a story of a young lynx and his bear companion, who venture through the vast and dangerous world searching for home. As far as game mechanics go, Paws: A Shelter 2 Game combines the unique features of the Shelter simulation series with adventure and platformer elements. Instead of sandbox freedom, the game offers a linear plotline and allows us to control two independent characters, who can cooperate to solve puzzles and avoid various traps. The game employs the same visual style as the original Shelter 2, although we observe game’s world from third-person perspective, and many features not present in the original title, like the ability to follow a trail using senses other than sight.
