As the vibrant hues of spring begin to paint the world in shades of green, it’s that time of year many of us turn our attention to the garden, if we are indeed lucky enough to enjoy one. Lawn enthusiasts in the gaming space though have no need to open the proverbial patio doors and battle the, sometimes, inglorious UK weather.
Lawn Mowing Simulator has certainly made the cut with the gaming community, since it’s original launch on Steam, XBOX and PlayStation. Enjoying an almost worldwide cult status, the game’s popularity has been driven by an immersive, authentic and often therapeutic mowing experience via multiple scenic environments.
