In the Valve store, the simulator collected 85% of positive reviews.
As for other games, this time there is only one edition of Battlefield 2042 left on the Steam bestseller chart (there were three of them the previous week). It took the second place.
The third line went to Cyberpunk 2077. A 50% discount helped the game to get into the rating. Thanks to her, the title managed to get 76% positive reviews.
