Don’t get plenty of work time at the office? You’re in luck. The video-gaming world is filled with games that feel more like work than fun. So take a look at these games highlighted in a recent PCWorld story if you’re wanting to bring a little more work in your after-office hours.
Running a city
SimCity is an amazing game, allowing you to build and run your own metropolis. But you may just be astonished at what a grind running a city is usually. In SimCity, you need to stress about zoning decisions, creating utilities, building roads, drawing tourists and making sure the garbage is picked up on time. And, yes, no one is ever satisfied with the job you do.
A war game that feels like the office
They say war is hell. However, when it comes to the video game World of Warcraft, it’s hard work, too. Do you like to follow orders? Do you like completing menial tasks for sometimes small rewards? Then World of Warcraft is the game for you.
When real life’s not stressful enough
Cart Life is that most unusual game that lets you relive all the stress and dull routine of daily life, but now you’re calling it a game. In Cart Life, you can play either as a single mom working as a barista, a flustered newsstand operator or a busy baker. None of the options are much fun, and each demands you to balance daily demands with making enough money to earn the rent and pay your bills each month.
