We've had Brawl Chess - Gambit, we've had Chess Ultra, we've had Pure Chess and we've had the 'chess but not chess', Knight's Retreat.

For the most part Farming Simulator 19 gives players the chance to tend to a few crops, sow a few seeds and feed a few animals, all whilst working the land around them to ensure the cash rolls in. But with the latest addition to the game it's time to head to the forest to live out the life of a lumberjack with the Rottne DLC.
