Star Trucker - who needs a mountain vista when you've got the whole of space?
A look at Star Trucker - a trucking game set in space!
American Truck Simulator has long been my equivalent of one of those mindfulness apps that whisper gently evocative nonsense at you in the dead of night; a world of seductively monotonous rhythms and repetitions set against a soothing soundtrack of engine drones and indicater clicks.

Travel exerts a constant power drain on its various life support systems, meaning you'll need to get up and stretch your legs every now then, prising open panels and replacing batteries so you don't, say, freeze to death in the icy embrace of space when your climate control goes awry, or catapult indelicately into the ceiling when your gravity generator fails.
