If Uplink left you wanting more, this is where you narrow it down. Was it the puzzle or the narrative that hooked you? There is a list of just that. And if you play on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Mobile, filter by platform and skip the games you could not play anyway.
Sometimes what you want is not a Uplink look-alike but simply the best Job Sim Games there are. That is what these rankings are for: no comparison to anything, just the highest-rated games. And if you feel like widening the net, the Simulation Games ranking is a good way to run into something you were not expecting.
