Joystick Diaries is a passion project dedicated to deep dives, honest reviews, and breaking down how games really play.

Here, we explore what makes simulation games immersive, satisfying, and worth your time (and money). Each entry highlights a different sim title, from the most obscure gems to the ones dominating your social feed.

Whether you're searching for your next favorite game or trying to decide if that Early Access title deserves a download, these are the reviews I wish existed when I was on the other side of the screen, so I made them for you.
