In light of Labor Day, pay your respects to all the laborers out there by playing 3 of our favorite laboring games.

While I personally had wondered how games based on various laborers could be so engrossing, accomplishing some of these tasks in these workaholic based games proved oddly satisfying and interesting to say the least. At the end of the day, if anything, you get to try your hand at odd jobs you normally wouldn’t be involved in.

1. Papers, Please.

Play an immigration worker, checking papers according to your officer’s instruction and catching illegal immigrants and fraudulent papers. I dare you, as it’s a lot harder than it looks and your daily work directly goes to funding your dying family.

2. Euro Truck Simulator 2

Still planning that Euro Trip? Play the role of a trucker as your drive across various European cities and engross yourself in long drives across Europe’s capitals. Be careful on those turns and eventually work your way up to building up a trucking empire while exploring Europe in the process.

3. Farming Simulator 2016

Wanted to settle down for the quiet life of a farmer? Believe it or not, its a lot more complicated than it seems. Harvest fields, feed your animals, and try your hand at forestry in a very accurate and equally challenging simulator of the farm life.
