Question about this comm's definition of 'life simulation games' (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

... Does it basically have to be cozy/cartoony/lighthearted?

Or would games like RimWorld, DwarfFortress, Kenshi, Endzone - A World Apart, Project Zomboid... would they count?

I guess uh yeah, what are the actual bounds of what ya'll would call a 'life-simulation game'?

Apologies if I missed some thread going into more detail than the sidebar, but I don't see anything stickied from my mobile app.
