Lazy Sweet Tycoon
I enjoy a lot of clicker games, and I did enjoy this one as well at first, but the game has a few achievements that are way too grindy to keep enjoying the game. After completing all the other achievements I have the following achievements left:
-
clicking 100k energized trees left (I only got around 10k while getting the other achievements with active play)
-
Start/complete 100 jobs, most of them take 1 to 2h in real life which means you have to log in every 1/2h to start a new job if you want to get through this one as fast as possible.

Really fun game, it is not as indepth as other clickers but I like the chill environment and themes
Cross play is cool as well, I was a fan of the mobile game so I liked being able to bring my progress over
Runs pretty well on my computer too :)

City Game Studio: a tycoon about game dev
City Game Studio
I joined the open beta for City Game Studio a little while ago. Ever since I have seen it grow substantially. The game has been improved so much in a short amount of time and I can only see it getting better and better from here on out. The developer is very active and takes all the feedback and criticism he gets very seriously. Many of my own suggestions have already made it into the game and whenever an issue arises he is quick to fix it.
The game takes place in a city where you can rent, buy and even build your own studios and exhibitor centers. When your company is doing good you obviously want to expand and get even larger teams working on even bigger titles. The result of that can be very satisfying.

Overview
First off, on advice from this author’s attorney Frankie “Fine Print” Lymann, copycat games are not a crime. (See Data East USA v. Epyx for proof that copycats do not constitute copyright infringement.) Remember Game Dev Tycoon? Take the awesomeness of the aforementioned game, add interior decorating, an outside world where buildings can be rented, bought, and even constructed, and then add in some nice new ideas (along with a bad idea) and you have City Game Studio. In case the reader doesn’t know, the game is a management sim in which the player starts a game company starting in the year of the player’s choosing, and goes from rags to riches through developing and publishing video games.

GearCity
I got this game ~16~ days ago (edit… 22 … maybe 23…. thanks steam…. did anything important happen in the last three weeks that I should be aware of?) …. I’ve played 300 hours, which says something about the immersiveness of this game.
By far the best business management game I’ve played. It’s truly a master work of the genre. I tend to like strategy games, sports management sims and art tools, this draws a little bit of inspiration from each. When you need to take a break from the day to day plan of building a massive automotive empire, you can exercise other parts of your brain tuning up new engines, or designing the look of your next (hopefully) hot selling vehicle. This ability to shift gears keeps the game engaging.

At over 800 hours I can safely say Gear city is a great simulation/game venturing more on the sim side. It has come a long way though it still has a few minor quirks that irritate me, however most of these will either be my own opinion (and yours may vary) and some are due to engine limitations at the time the project was started. That said the game is very playable and provides a lot of fun. Eric (The Developer) is fast to get back to people and help you solve issues and answer questions, he has been constantly working to make this game even better. I only took a break from the game because every time I hit 1930 in game an update comes out and I have to start over so patiently waiting for 1.25 RC2 which should be the last time you have to start a new game.

Death Trader: Cold War
This game was great! It was super fun and im suprised its not more laggy and gltchy than it is, i was sceptical buying it but im glad i did, lots of fun, you need to fix a few bugs but i loved it otherwise and suggest you buy it! One thing I would like to see is things like being able to change the time you start like 1960, 62', 65, etc. I would also like to see more weapons from more country’s, I would like a variety in this game.

The game has a few kinks but the dev(s?) have been quick to patch. It is worthwhile, especially on sale. I’ve not been able to get more than 2 years into the 30 that the game has due to bugs but I’ve gotten a lot of fun out of it.
Nov 8
I can now play 15 out of the 30 years of the game before it crashes or becomes unplayable. The majority of the early bugs are gone, the gameplay is more user friendly with a better ui/tooltip, was a fun game before but it’s even better now. The devs may have released it prematurely, even as early access, but it’s been rapidly improved.

Factory Magnate
Factory Magnate is part factory builder, part business tycoon. It puts you in the shoes of an industrious factory engineer with a small loan of a million credits. Your goal is to build an empire of factories spanning multiple planets in a procedurally generated solar system. You seek to dominate the solar system through sheer wealth and influence, not military might or political power.
AUTOMATION BY DEFAULT
You don’t control a character and you can place factory buildings anwyhere, as long as you have the money to do so. This takes the “early game” known from other similar games out of the equation, because you jump straight to automation and skip all the manual labor.
NO CRAFTING
It’s all about the money.. because in this game, money is your most important resource.
You don’t craft buildings, you buy them.
PROFIT IS EVERYTHING
You earn money selling your goods to the locals. They seem to have an endless supply of money to throw at you, but if you saturate the market, prices will drop - possibly making your factories operate at a loss. It’s up to you to strike a balance.
THE FACTORY NEVER SLEEPS
At the core of the game sits the main challenge: the factory is always running, and you must pay upkeep. If you’re not selling enough to make a profit, you’ll soon be out of business.
You. Must. Keep. Selling.
Dealer’s Life
I love this game! I have had it since it launched on the play store for mobile devices.
I like how I can play it in a windowed tab and often play while watching tv on my laptop.
I wish the game offered more things such as leaderboards so you can see how you compare to other players. I have beat the game a few times with 24 weeks been the fastest to complete. and was wondering how that compares to other players.
Other things I think that would be cool would be head to head competitions where you have 15-30 minutes to try and have more money at the end than your competitior. It would help make the game interesting for me again.

The Game:
This is basically the buy and sell portion of Recettear with a bit more depth added. You can add stats to yourself to be able to:
• Know the value of items
• Charm customers
• Read the customers' level of greed, desire for the item, and their patience for negotiations
You can hire people for your shop as well who will add a little to those stats, and who can also restore broken items, or authenticate them, or even create counterfeits.
Pros:
- Fun and addictive if you enjoy buy and sell games where you are the merchant (I love this type of game)

CoffeeBiz Tycoon
I own this game since a while, but now, with the Alpha 2 out I felt compelled to write a review to give the game and the developer a big thumb up!
Now we got a game, even if in alpha, and a really promising game: already playable and enjoyable, no crash so far, great isometric graphic, loads of options and choiches, full of detailed useful information and statistic, to help you developing your coffee business!
If you like tycoon and managements games, do not miss this game..it is going in the right direction and it seems the developer is really working hard to give us a nice polished little tycoon gem game!!

Lemonade Tycoon clone. However in its current state this game is barely playable, and updates don’t seem to come around. Almost 4 months into the release and nothing is happening, really.
The price asked for this game is really a disgrace, considering the current content and pace of development, and I can’t help but feel I’ve been robbed.
Doesn’t Steam have any quality assurance at all on what’s being released?
Avoid this.

Another Brick in The Mall
I’ve played numerous management games, and I figured I’d list down the stuff that I think needs improvement in the game because, hey, I definitely love it.
I’ll be adding more to the list as I log in more hours in the game.
More business types - Arcade, Spa, Events Venue, Staff Room, PC (Console) Cafe, etc.
Staff Management System - The map is huge, and growing the business means a larger staff. It’s hard to keep track of all the employees individually, especially their shifts. I’d also like to see some sort of “staff training”, so I could retain old employees instead of replacing them with other people who have better skills. Retaining the old ones and simply training them in what they lack is much better a way to handle employee productivity than simply replacing them.

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar,
You’re gonna go far, if you got to make a mall
Since the game is a pun of Floyd, i take it one step furhter
Unless you don’t do it right but the Pink Floyd opening was a must considering the name of the game and the achievements, get off your Strat though and realize this ain’t a The Wall fantasy but rather a tycoon game where you build up a mall or a store or a chain of stores or something in between, it’s up to you. It’s still in early access but unlike a lot of other EA games it already features a lot of options like sandbox with settings for how much money you have, if events happen, if shoplifting is a thing, if your staff needs to eat, piss, eat, repeat, if evemts like the start of school, halloween, christmal happen and how much your margin should be for goods. Next to the Sandbox you have Scenarios where you need to fix up fucked up malls, it’s run of the mill scenarios but they add a challenged.
