If you look at the best simulation games of 2017, it’s easy to see that the genre didn’t have as strong of a year as in 2016. Football Manager remained a staple, having one of its best releases yet. There were other, widely varied, and compelling titles as well. The problem seemed to come with quantity, rather than quality. The few significant games were great, but just too few.
Most Anticipated Simulation Games of 2018
There’s an incredibly strong case to be made for 2018 to reverse this trend. The year looks to feature one of the broadest range of strategy titles in a long time, with a number having the possibility to be simply excellent. Let’s cut to the chase, crack on with some work and look at the most anticipated simulation games of 2018.

Platform: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Ace Combat began as Air Combat 26 years ago as an arcade game. My first encounter was with the original PlayStation release a surprising 21 years ago. The series remained, for the most part, a fantastical approach to dogfighting with a handful of games set in the real world. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will return to the world that features the wars of the main series’ alternate reality Earth (Strangereal).
Frostpunk
