- Completionist hour count: no upper limit, really
If you ever get tired of managing all these empires, colonies and factories, you can always take over a football club. Football Manager 2020 is one of the best sports managers to date. The game gives us over 2,500 clubs from 50 countries across the globe, and maintains proper realism with real names of clubs, broadcasters, and newspapers.
The game from Sports Interactive entrusts us with virtually every aspect of running a serious sports club – from financing players and trainings, to setting squads and designing strategies. We can also control the club's image in the media and among fans by defusing scandals and solving problems that could damage the reputation of our legendary club.
Of course, it's a game for true football freaks, who are happier to lead a local team to a national trophy than score a single goal in a match. The next prerequisite is that you're not afraid of tables and numbers, which the Football Manager is nothing but – get ready for spending long hours here.
