AdVenture Capitalist
I’ve successfully beaten this game (as in, unlocked everything) without spending a single cent on it. Most of the “time” I have logged on this game was from leaving it idle, and there’s nothing to be gained from this game. I did it as a personal test to train myself to resist microtransactions.

Probably the best and most fun clicker out there.
Took me 1 year to complete 100% (I’m on the finish line right now, probably 2 more days to complete it), but the game is worth the time.
It had some balance issues, but now the game is properly fixed and the events and daily gifts provide a lot of opportunities for players to gain multipliers on the hardest planet to complete, Earth.

Animation Studio Manager
My friend made this game and gave me a copy to play prior to release, and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. I completed levels 1-8 on both easy and medium mode. The easy level had enough guiding to help me through the game without being overly hand-holding, and it’s been nice to switch to the medium level for more of a challenge. The game moves at a nice pace but there is a pause button in case you need to stop and evaluate your next steps, which I appreciate because it keeps the game from becoming overly frustrating. I started out playing to give the creator some feedback from the perspective of someone who loves to game but doesn’t recognize herself as a hardcore gamer. Despite this, I have definitely found myself playing this game simply because I enjoy it and it helps focus my mind after a hard day of work. I can’t wait to see the next levels! I would definitely recommend this game and I will continue to enjoy it :)

I’m hooked. I’m truly feeling the excitement and stress that a real animation studio manager would feel. It has cool mini games, an annoying producer, a sarcastic mother and a myriad of production and corporate employees. It’s a fun challenge as new demands appear at every level, like keeping employees happy making webisodes, episodes, and films. Try doing that while making enough money not to go bankrupt. Loved choosing the titles and genres of my TV seasons and watching them go viral. It was also exciting when one of my seasons got renewed. Next level, I get to compete for awards. Can’t wait.

Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale
Hey hey, people.
I was not expecting a Sseth review on this. Welcome, Argentinians!
I’ve played it for a long time.
This is intended to be a spoiler free review.
Let me lay down some stuff, you will be able to tell if you’ll like it or not.
Your first playthrough is going to take a while and it will be fun. You’ll figure out the mechanics, make mistakes, reload some saves, make some profit, then eventually come out on top. Everything feels great, the ending is wonderful, it’s a complete experience all its own.

Finally a game where I can live out my fantasies of becoming a merchant who crushes hearts and dreams under the weight of his fat profit margin. Y’all can keep your Poorly-Lit Life Forces 2 or whatever the f♥ck it’s called, Recettear blows that all out of the water.
Ok first of all you play as a loli. Don’t be deceived–beneath her cute, naive exterior lies a heart as black as coal and a mind as shrewd and cunning as they come. This little sh♥t will bleed you for all you’re worth with mark-ups that would make Best Buy blush. And she will love every minute of it as she watches you carry your broke ♥ss out the door with a ham sandwich. Thank you and come again mother f♥cker.

Definitely Not Fried Chicken
Definitely Not Fried Chicken - “For All Your Legitimate Fake Business Needs!”
Definitely Not Fried Chicken is a business management sim with a Twist!
Grow your drugs trade through legitimate fronts by managing both sides of the business. Acquire new “businesses”, meet new clientele, develop more potent narcotics, make lots of money and leave a city in ruin!
Set in a sunshine soaked city in the glamorous 80’s, DNFC will test your entrepreneurial business skills.
Build your drugs compound from the ground up, buy adjoining plots of land and expand. Design and lay out your complete production line and establish distribution routes. Fortify your compounds defences and make sure any “overly-enthusiastic” customers can’t break in. Research and develop better strains of narcotics like marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine.
But simply making a great product is not enough, you need somewhere to sell it from! This is where your legitimate businesses come in - you’ll need to build and manage these fronts, including selling legal goods to avoid detection, people gotta eat right? Run a chain of Fried Chicken stores or diversify your portfolio with other businesses. Different places have different people with different tastes.
The backbone of every business is your workforce, the people who tirelessly carry out the tasks you assign them for minimum wage. A happy employee is a productive employee so it’s important to make sure your staff have the basic necessities like washrooms and a place to eat. A well furnished break room is great for staff morale!
And safety equipment will really help with staff turnover/mortality rates…

Undertaker’s
First of all, thank you, Hyeson, for providing me with a free key to your game. :D
Undertaker’s is a fun and cute little business management tycoon game by indie developer Hyeson. You buy your funeral supplies and sell them to the bereaved who come to you to bury their loved ones. Some have specific things they want, other’s don’t care, but all have a budget. Eventually, you’ll be able to build your own buildings to produce your caskets, headstones, and flowers, but will still need to purchase the materials from the local store. The hand drawn graphics are colorful and charming.

If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward sim game with a slightly morbid theme then this is for you. You run an undertaker’s (shocking, I know) and you’ll have customers attend your shop regularly. You’ll have to help them pick out coffins, headstones and flowers for their dearly departed.
Different customers have different budgets and some will have specific requirements. Customers that are satisfied with you, increase your reputation, which reduces the time between customers arriving so you can make more sales. Customers that are unhappy or who you turn away, can do the opposite. I found that to start with, it can take a while for customers to appear, at least until your reputation increases. Over time you can take on staff members, such as a secretary, who can help you identify the needs of the customer, and build other shops so you can make your own stock.

Capital Island
Simple but good trading game.
If you’re not looking for a ‘cozy’ trading game, though, definitively go with ‘Challenge’ mode. Being able to visit shops multiple times (in ‘normal’ mode) means you eventually end up able to sell basically any excess resources you’ve got, which kinda takes the ‘trading’ out of this game. Just becomes logistics. Don’t get me wrong, I still had fun, but I like ‘cozy’ games sometimes. Probably pretty easy with Challenge on too.

This game takes a bit to get into and requires some patience to continue. There’s a lot of repetitive actions but after about 30 minutes of playing you’ll notice the game advancing.
I’m sure this game is deeper than what I’ve initially seen so I will go back and continue to play.
The music is amazing, so peaceful and calm with an island flair. I can tell the dev worked really hard on this game.

By far, the greatest piece of software published on any platform, ever. This masterpiece has reduced Steam to a mere launcher for what is now the sole driver of my existence: Hedgie Simulator.

NBA 2K20
This is not a gameplay review. I’m gonna try to be as brief as possible.I am a LONG time basketball game player, actually since these things exist. I’ve seen everything. Yet, i’ve never seen anything like Nba 2k. On one hand you’ve got a solid base game with an enormous amount of content and potential. The gameplay is actually the most solid it’s been in years, even the story in my career is by far the least cringey i’ve ever seen. The graphics could though really use a new engine, as this one’s been showing signs of old age for quite some time. But on the other hand, you’ve got a publisher who literally doesn’t give a single f$%### about the users. The game is riddled with bugs that have been there for years and haven’t gotten addressed, they’re still the single most greedy gaming publisher in the world with the pay to play mechanics of the Virtual currency, but THE ABSOLUTELY WORST part of it all….

Fuck this game. Don’t give 2K your money until they learn to respect their customers.
1. The servers suck. Not only is it hard to sometimes find other players, but even when you do connect the delay is very noticeable, and in a game where timing is key, it makes it unplayable at times.
2. Matchmaking is bad. You either play against someone who’ll mercilessly crush you, or someone who just booted up the game for the first time. It’s rare when you’ll actually compete with someone at your level.

The Invisible Hand
Great Concept, But Not Great Execution
Pros:
I found this game very relevant given the recent activity with stocks like Gamestop and AMC. People are really hyped up on stocks but many don’t even know what shorting a stock means. This game can provide you a basic education on stocks and some insight on what it is like to be a stock trader which is really pretty cool. You will learn how the world is interconnected such as when lumber prices go up housing prices tend to follow suit or how a war in a country can affect the prices of certain goods. This game also hints that there is some manipulation in the trading world and quite frankly I absolutely 100% agree with that.
– Real player with 13.8 hrs in game
Interesting concept, but flawed execution. The writing should have been done by real writers, as its about as subtle as a sledgehammer driving a tack through a wall, but I’m glad it’s there. This is the only stock sim game that is wrapped around any kind of narrative, to my knowledge (aside from Wall Street Kid on OG Nintendo). The game is very, very light on realism, as all you can do is buy at current price and short at current price. The markets are quite reliably predictable, as well. If you want something like this but that feels somewhat more like a sim and is more difficult and complex, check out ‘wall street raider’ or ‘speculator’ by roninsoft.

Wow. So this game is incomplete however it has long way to go for greatness. The Dev needs keep working on it. I am sure though eventually this game will be great.
