First Play: Watch our deep cut of Lawn Mowing Simulator

There are so many games being released these days, it’s hard to keep up with all of them.

Even for a site like VGC, there aren’t enough hours in the day to cover absolutely every new game that comes out, and certainly not enough time to play and review everything.

That’s why we’ve launched our new First Play series, which is designed to shed light on new and upcoming games that may be hovering underneath the radar but are no less worthy of your attention.

For each First Play video, we’ll run our capture unit, turn on our microphone and play each game for the very first time, meaning you get to experience them while we do.

For all intents and purposes, they will act like the initial stages of a review. If we see something like or dislike while we’re playing, we’ll call it out, and we’ll give a summary of our initial views at the end of the video. Naturally, though, they shouldn’t be considered a definitive verdict on the game – they’re just a way for you to see what it has to offer.

For our first entry in the First Play series, we take a look at the recently released Lawn Mowing Simulator, which is an Xbox Series X/S console exclusive (and also on PC).

Does its next-gen-only nature mean it’s a seriously detailed lawnmowing game? We take it out for a spin in our 20-minute video. Have a watch and let us know what you’d like to see us covering in future First Play videos.
