    The Getaway, GTA, Watch Dogs: Legion – Greg Pryjmachuk blames them all for contributing to a plastic, London-centric view of Britain. “Games are terrible at dealing with the British identity,” the co-developer of Landlord’s Super tells us. “I just want to try and back up from this perverse image of Britain as a shooting gallery in the capital.”

    The backdrop of Minskworks’ construction simulator is is inspired by a piece of legislation: the Housing Act of 1980. After it’s signed into law at the start of the game, you’re given the chance to buy your council house, fix it up, and rent it out to earn a passive income. In practical terms, that means taking a dodgy loan and ordering supplies – mixing cement and hammering nails to fix roof tiles into place.
