Life is sometimes very boring. What do we gamers do in this case? That's right, we sit down at some interesting toy. But it happens that you want to play life simulator - at least to see if it will be interesting to live at least in virtuality. If anyone doesn't know - a classic example of a life simulator is The Sims. But this is not the only game of this type. There are all kinds dating simulators (many of which are rated 18+), which we will also talk about later.
It is believed that only girls play games of this genre. But this, at least, is not entirely true. It's just that male gamers are somehow ashamed to admit that they spend their time on such "frivolous" projects. Of course, gutting monsters is a much more serious, and in general, purely male occupation. However, enough introductions - let's move on to our TOP-10 life simulators. Go!
10. Singles. Flirt Up Your Life!
What Singles? It's kind of like The Sims, but our goal here is to improve the personal lives of the characters. All games in this series are rated 18+, because the whole ... let's say, the process is very well worked out here. And the development of relations, and their culmination, and all the characters are done very well both in terms of their characters and in terms of anatomy. There are several games in the series, and we recommend that you familiarize yourself with all of them - after all, this is a very high-quality dating simulator that many will surely enjoy.
9. Space Colony
Game from Firefly studios... If someone does not know, then it is “ Fireflies»Developed a well-known strategy Stronghold... And here they again made an unusual project - a combination of strategy and life simulator. There are familiar elements from the strategy here, like the development of the base, military operations (if you play not in the Peaceful, but in the War Campaign), but with the life simulator, everything is somewhat more interesting. We have several characters at the base, each with its own character, skills and preferences. They do not always get along with each other, many like to "play up", and, as soon as someone offends someone, the efficiency of work at the base immediately drops. In general, it won't be too easy here, but it's interesting - for sure. Add some pretty good humor to all of the above - and you get one of those projects that you better not miss.
8. Virtual Villagers
This game has five whole parts. We here manage (though not directly) the life of one tribe living on an unnamed island somewhere in the tropics. Each of our charges has his own character, and getting them to do what we need is not an easy task. Perhaps someone will not want to climb into the cave (he, you see, is afraid of the dark). And the other, on the contrary, will put himself in danger while swimming with sharks (well, he loves water, nothing can be done). And you need to monitor everyone, develop your settlement, make it comfortable and, along the way, achieve your goals. In total, the game has as many as five parts (not counting the various add-ons), so there is something to play here.
7. Viva Pinata
Surreal and funny toy about growing piñatas. What pinata? Actually, it is a hollow figurine filled with sweets (in Mexico there is a custom to give them for various holidays). They are in the form of animals, people and various fabulous animals. And so we have to grow them (in the sense of piñatas). To create certain conditions for them, to develop our farm (which at the beginning is nothing special), to attract new species of our pets. Then we will need to find mates for them, breed them, and sell the "cubs". The project is a very funny hybrid of a life simulator and an economic strategy game that kids will especially love.
6. Europa 1400: The Guild
Medieval life simulator... A very unusual and interesting toy in which you can be anyone you want. Do you want to be the mayor? You are welcome. Or maybe you prefer a career as a guard? Or, on the contrary, do you dream of becoming the leader of a robbery gang? All these options are available, moreover, it all depends on you whether your protagonist will succeed or not. By the way, all the characters here are mortal, so make sure that you have a capable heir who will continue your business. Or, if you want, he can change careers - it's up to you. And by the way, the game has a second part called Guild 2... Well, the third is in development, and should be released in the second half of 2016. Which means you still have time to complete the first two games.
5.7 Sins
Do you love to sin? Not? Why, then, did they turn so red? Okay, don't be embarrassed, everyone loves to sin. Therefore the game 7 Sins (« Seven sins») Is suitable for everyone. Well, everyone who is already 18 years old. Our hero wants to climb to the top of the social ladder, and he will do this, indulging in various sins. Along the way, seducing another beauty. The gameplay is unusual and sometimes funny, but we will not talk about it so as not to spoil your pleasure from acquaintance with the game. We can only say that we will have to sin a lot and often, and we will rarely remember about conscience and for a very short time. In general, if you are tired of having to be good, you are welcome.
4. The Good Life
A very interesting project that combines several genres. It is both a life simulator and sailing yacht simulatorand economic strategy... You are the owner of a small boat that organizes excursions on the water. Your clients are very wealthy people, and you have to work hard for your business to flourish. You can equip your yacht, buy various items (from a sun lounger to a hotel), arrange surface and underwater cruises, go treasure hunting and other interesting things. The game is unusual, very beautiful and with a truly original gameplay. Be sure to play.
3. Love City 3D
Another MMO project in the style of a life simulator, and again with a "strawberry". It's kind of like The Sims, but online and sex-centered first and foremost (again). Everything is the same - we create our character, and we begin to live with it. Want to have a good time? Go to a party or relax on the beach. Missing something? Buy a house and furnish it, buy new things or even change your appearance. Boring? Make friends, or even start dating (this is where the game leads you). It is quite possible that your virtual acquaintances will become real, and through the game you will find new acquaintances. And if you're lucky - then your soul mate.
review.
2. 3DXChat
Another project from the category 18+. The previous game is an erotic dating simulator, the only drawback of which is that you can only play there alone, and the graphics are rather weak. And if you do a similar thing in the MMO version? Then we get 3DXChat... Here you are engaged in seducing the characters of other players, not computer mobs. The lesson is much more interesting, albeit more difficult. The graphics here are just top-notch. If you've been looking for a life simulator for adults (I hope you know what I mean), then 3DXChat is the best you can find. Sign up without hesitation - the game is truly unique and offers an incredibly realistic simulation of a slightly (okay, not slightly, but even very) depraved life. Develop your character, look for various adventures on your ... hmm, head, build relationships with other players - and who knows, maybe you will transfer them to real life? It's worth a try.

Best Online Knight Games
Time for a Hero
Release date:2014
Genre:RPG, browser
A browser-based role-playing game in a medieval knightly setting. At first glance, the project is quite simple and does not differ much from other similar games, however, there are many unique differences here. So, for example, there are no fixed classes in the game, instead the player chooses his faction and gender of the hero, and the classes are replaced by masks of heroes and monsters. That is, putting on a mask on a character, we give him the properties of this mask, abilities and even appearance. In this case, the masks can be changed depending on the situation.
PLAY
Skills are acquired here for money, so with prolonged farming, you can pump your character pretty much. The plot does not let you get bored, and tasks that are not tied to the level can present a lot of surprises (including unpleasant ones).

PLAY
This project is primarily a strategy, so be prepared for the fact that most of the time you will have to deal with the development of the castle and adjacent lands. In addition to building a castle, defensive structures and recruiting troops, players will be able to perform various plot tasks, create or find legendary artifacts, lay siege to castles and fight other players for control over the endless lands of this fantasy world.
The medieval era is a difficult and contradictory time in the minds of the current generation. For some, it is dirty and disgusting, full of dark superstitions and prejudices, cruelty, injustice and oppression. And for others it is a glorious time, fanned by the romance of chivalrous adventures and exploits.
Can computer games give the final answer, what was the Middle Ages? Absolutely not. But they can amuse us great, giving us the opportunity, albeit very conditional, to get away from the routine of gray everyday life and feel the taste of the mysterious past with its noble, powerful kings, greedy merchants, beautiful ladies, endless battles and uprisings, strict religious dogmatism and other unusually fascinating things.
1. MORDHAU
Online action game with unusually realistic and bloody medieval battles of various formations: massive carnage in an open field, sieges of castles, cavalry attacks, noble duels, and so on. Here you can even try to fire from some siege weapon of that time. Maximum amount players involved in one battle can reach 64 people.
At the same time, as already noted, the developers tried to make the battles as exciting and spectacular as possible on the one hand, and realistic on the other. Sharp attacks and wide swings of blades, severed limbs and gushing blood in all directions - no censorship and indulgence, everything is naturalistic and cruel. I am very pleased with the flexible system, as well as the abundance of weapons, armor and other military equipment.
2. Mount & Blade: Warband
A wonderful RPG with a realistic medieval setting, addicting versatile gameplay and a powerful atmosphere, which no other similar game has yet managed to surpass. And this despite the fact that the release of Mount & Blade: Warband took place in 2010.
In addition to the single-player freeplay mode, Mount & Blade: Warband also has a mode (or rather, several modes) that allows dozens of players to converge on the battlefield.
In fact, Mount & Blade: Warband can be called the most ideal medieval simulator at the moment, every element of the gameplay in which is thought out and perfected to the smallest detail. Moreover, other games in the Mount & Blade series also deserve attention, because in fact they are variations of one game with some gameplay and setting differences caused by the fact that they are dedicated to different time periods of the Middle Ages. Mount & Blade 2 is also known to be in development and is expected to be released in March 2020.
3. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Brutal multiplayer first-person action game designed for team battles in different modes and in different arenas. A good selection of playable classes and weapons, the ability to customize characters, good level graphics and design of arenas, and most importantly - simple and at the same time fascinating made Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, if not the most popular, then highly demanded game among multiplayer medieval action games.
4. Life is Feudal: Your Own
One of the best survival games with RPG elements in our top games about the Middle Ages, combining all the best features and developments from sandbox games (large, free and terraforming, an abundance of crafts and recipes for, etc.) with the atmosphere of the true Middle Ages!
Those who prefer robbery and battles to peaceful labor will be impressed by the local dynamic combat system based on non-target and the possibility of simultaneous participation in the battle of 64 people - this is exactly the number of players that servers in: Your Own are designed for. And those who want even more epic battles can try their hand and the ability to survive in Life is Feudal: MMO - a more global variation of the game, arranged according to the principle.
5. Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Role-playing project of 2018, until its release, stubbornly positioned by its creators as "The best game about the Middle Ages on the PC among RPGs." However, after the release, it turned out to be more than controversial due to its dampness, numerous flaws and unfulfilled promises.
Fortunately, at the moment, after a significant time after the release, the developers have managed to bring it into a more or less playable form through numerous patches. Of the unambiguous advantages of this game, it is worth noting the very good graphics and design of the world, solid, based on real events (albeit with some loose interpretations from the creators) and a classless character development system.
The combat system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance turned out as promised, but there are strong doubts about its fascination and reliability - it all looks too clumsy and ridiculous, and the behavior of opponents sometimes causes unpleasant amazement. In general, the AI \u200b\u200bof the inhabitants of Kingdom Come is lame in all limbs, plus the impression is exacerbated by the so far completely unresolved bugs.
6. Gloria Victis
MMORPG with a huge open medieval world and a little bit of fantasy that does not spoil the overall experience of the game and does not violate the clear aspiration of Gloria Victis for realism.
Gloria Victis has all the characteristic features of a massive multiplayer game: a large and varied world, several warring factions, various NPCs and other live players, exciting battles, the possibility of cooperation with other users, as well as many other elements that form the basis of the gameplay.
At the same time, there are some features related specifically to the medieval setting of the game: a more realistic combat system, a large number of medieval crafts, a reputation system, an impressive number of authentically reconstructed types of weapons and armor, climate and terrain that recreate the territory of western, central and eastern Europe ...
7. For Honor
The well-known multiplayer game on PC, offering a kind of medieval crossover, allowing warriors of completely different civilizations and historical eras to come together in battle: knights, etc.
Moreover, each faction has its own story-based story (in addition to multiplayer modes in For Honor there is also a pretty good training campaign with a script that reveals the features of all three sides) and unique classes. The hero of each class has a unique appearance and the tactics of the game, determined by the weapons and skills of the character.
The ART OF BATTLE combat system itself is also innovative in For Honor, at first it seems quite difficult to master, for which many players actively scolded (and continue to scold) the game, preferring simpler and more understandable network action games on the theme of the Middle Ages to it. We admit that the threshold for entering For Honor is really high, and it will be very difficult for beginners in the early stages. But if you still endure and master all the wisdom of the combat system, in the future the game will be able to give a lot of vivid emotions and impressions of breathtaking battles in various modes.
8. The Cursed Crusade
9. The Black Death
The black Death is a multiplayer game in the setting of the Middle Ages, which can hardly be called the best in the chosen category, but despite this, it definitely stands out for its originality of concept.
The fact is that the action of The Black Death takes place during a plague that decimated almost half of the population of medieval Europe and was nicknamed the "Black Death" for this. It is this dark feature, skillfully conveyed by developers from Syrin Studios and Small Impact Games in the style and atmosphere of the game, that makes The Black Death so curious.
Otherwise, The Black Death is a completely standard multiplayer with an open world, the essence of the gameplay of which is exploring the environment, building, mining and crafting, as well as battles (or other methods of interaction, for example, exchange or cooperation) with other unfortunate inhabitants of Europe in dark times. But since the game is in the early access stage, there is a clear flaw in many mechanics and ideas, which should certainly be taken into account by everyone who wants to plunge into the world of The Black Death.
10. Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc
The next project on our list of the best Medieval games on PC is even more significant in age, as it was released on PC already in 2004. Despite this, fans of realistic historical games Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc will certainly like its elaborate and reliable setting, as well as the plot, which is based on the famous "Hundred Years War", which unfolded in the XIV-XV centuries between the French and the British.
In terms of gameplay, Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc is a simple third-person action game dedicated to battles and other types of cutting / thrusting weapons, the main character of which is the greatest warrior and national heroine of France, Jeanne D'Arc. All story missions (in Wars and Warriors only a single scenario is available) are as close as possible to the real events of the "Hundred Years War", and in addition to Jeanne, players will be able to contemplate many other historical figures of that time. There was also a place in the game for typical RPG elements: the heroine gradually gains experience and grows in level, pumps parameters, can use inventory, change weapons and equipment.
Also in Wars and Warriors: Joan of Arc there is a very unusual element that sets a significant proportion of the game atmosphere: along with Zhanna, other commanders participate in battles along with their squads, and some of the commanders can be taken under your direct control. Together with epic battle music and characteristic medieval scenery, this massiveness greatly affects the immersion in the gameplay and creates a natural feeling of participation in one of the greatest wars of the Middle Ages.
11. Age of Chivalry
Age of Chivalry is a multiplayer modification for Half-Life 2, developed and released by the amateur studio Team Chivalry back in 2007, but has not lost its relevance in our time.

conclusion
After reading this collection, you probably noticed the lack of fantasy games dedicated to the Middle Ages. Yes, we deliberately bypassed fantasy games based on this very interesting, but at the same time gloomy historical period of human civilization - for example, action series RPG The Witcher and Dragon age, slasher Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and others. Instead, we decided to focus on projects that illuminate the era as realistically as possible. Well, the theme of the fantasy Middle Ages is revealed in ours.
Action games about the Middle Ages will take you to a time when there were no machine guns and pistols, and warriors used swords and bows in battles. There is little shooting in such projects, but there is a lot of adrenaline, because the battle is fought not from behind cover and not at great distances, but on the battlefield face to face with the enemy.
