How low can you mow?
- by Jim Norman
You've ploughed fields on Switch, you've power washed cars on Switch, and now, you can mow lawns on Switch. Yes, the latest in a line of 'I didn't know I needed that' sims is here as Lawn Mowing Simulator (and its 'Landmark Edition' deluxe version) trims its way to Switch today.
You don't really need us to tell you what Lawn Mowing Simulator entails, do you? You cut lawns. That's it. Okay, actually, there is a little more than that. As well as getting out in the field, you will be building your "lawn mowing empire" (yes, really) by hiring employees, purchasing new machines and keeping an eye on the all-important finances.
Of course, the main event is the mowing itself. This comes with its own set of challenges including setting the blade height, monitoring the engine load and inspecting the terrain, though the Switch version also offers a 'Quick Mow' mode for those who want to get into some grass-cutting therapy as soon as possible.
The 'Landmark Edition' packs in all of the above mowing fun with two additional DLC packages, 'Dino Safari' and 'Ancient Britain'.
As for the visuals... weeeeell, they are much as you would expect. You can get an idea of what's in store by checking out the screenshots below.
Lawn Mowing Simulator is now available on the Switch eShop for £15.99 / €19.99 / $19.99, while the Landmark Edition is slightly more expensive at £19.99 / €24.99 / $24.99.
Will you be picking this one up? Cut your way to the comments and let us know.

Looks too fast-paced and stressful for me!

I'm holding off until they release the story mode DLC which promises to explore the fractured psyche of a man obsessed with lawn stripes, and reveal the terrible secrets buried beneath the immaculate grass.

As much as I would love to add another funny comment about this game, for some strange reason, this may be the Simulator game I may actually buy lol.
As a side note though, I need a Pac-Man crossover with lawn mowing lol.

Is this one of those games that's deliberately crap?
I believe it was Advanced Lawn Mower Simulator that was created as an April Fool back in the Amstrad CPC/Spectrum days and inspired the annual Crap Games Contest.

The grass is super tall in my garden and I'm procrastinating. I'm definitely not going to do this chore virtually.
Also it feels like the kind of game that will be 95% off every other month, just to be part of the sales flooding the unusable eShop.

Been playing this game on the PS5 for about a year on and off - and I love it. Super relaxing, low stress game. Lovely to put on and listen to some podcasts while playing. Can't speak to this port of course - but I enjoy it. The menus can be a bit janky but the actual gameplay is nice.

O.o .... o.O ..... >.< .... GO OUTSIDE!!!
LOL
What has this world come to when we enjoy games about doing work more than actually doing work? There's that office game in VR, Supermarket Simulator, Gas Station Simulator, Carwashing Simulator, and now this... a lawnmowing simulator. /sigh ... and you know I will have to play it. UGH!

If anyone wants to, I'll supply my mower and yard so that they can get the real feel of mowing.
Also, pay me $40-$60 like the game costs and you can mow all spring and summer long!
Multiple people welcome to mow!

Didn't this come out on the Wii? With a minigame about a beam katana? 😆
