The Stonks Market
A charming meme game that manages to capture my experience in the stock market frighteningly well. The writing from Vagabond Dog is what you expect, funny and well paced. It’s a relatively short playthrough, but it’s worth to go through a second time if you lost it all when you yolo’d in $JANC the first time. 10/10 would hold again.

A short, but comical story about a clueless man flirting with the stock market for the first time.
The trading platform sections are enjoyable and are critical to directing the narrative one way or the other. Are you going to lose more than just your money, or will you triumph and end on a high? The story being tied to my trading performance made me care about doing well to potentially get a good conclusion.
I’m about to go through it again and see how my story differs if I YOLO it all!

Got me hooked, seems overwhelming at first but it’s incredibly simple once you keep going for literally a few secs. Can be a bit hard but I’m still trying to get better at it the more I know and see. Curious little game to chill for a quick run.

Empire TV Tycoon
I’ve been looking for a modern version of Mad TV for a long time, so I was quite excited when I stumbled upon Empire TV Tycoon on Steam. I had a lot of fun with it, but there were also some frustrating moments which I will explain in a moment.
How do the game mechanics compare to Mad TV?
The similarities are immediately apparent when looking at the interface. You are a tiny person using an elevator to navigate through a high building which houses your offices, film studios, a movie library, an advertising agency and so on. There are two AI opponents with their own channels.

Empire TV Tycoon is an easy to learn fun simulation where you run a tv channel.
As you increase viewership and make those important decisions on what to play and what ads to show, you can climb the ranks from a simple local channel to the world of satellite broadcasting.
Part of the game is programming your day’s viewing - which sounds more tedious or daunting than it actually is.
You will recognise some movie titles, and the spoofs of well-known award shows and film festivals. This adds to the immersive side of Empire, and it can be quite fun (if not diabolical) to plan a day’s tv viewing based on your favourite films… or least favourites…

Hexia
This is a game that relies heavily on luck. You can very easily get a random event that completely ruins you seconds into your game. You might end up starting a new game over and over before you make it through the first ‘story’ goal. And yet, it’s very much worth playing.
Once you get that little bit of good luck mixed with frugal resource management, you can make it through the first twenty or thirty tiles and clear the first couple of challenges. Learn your limits – don’t overspend or expand too fast. You’ll learn what impact each event choice has, which upgrades work best for your kingdom.

Had fun in the short time I’ve played and quickly figured out how to keep a 0 loss of people.
I would love to see it expand more than 100 tiles but even at 90 it became slow to move across the screen when zoomed out. Some kind of option to speed up the cursor would be needed to expand more I guess.
More levels of 100 tiles but with harder conditions would be nice if expanding to more tiles is not feasible.
The text sections are a little long and some repeat through the game, so I did as another reviewer had done and skipped through the text to find the main points.

Global Soccer: A Management Game 2019
This is a brilliant little game, I do wish however there were more updates. Some improvements would be very nice. Some like searching by position, having club badges and kits and upto date league structures.
I hope more updates will come as I’m enjoying it :)

Unfortunately I have the same problem, game silently crashes around week 8 or so leaving steam thinking it is still running. No other option than a total reboot.
I too have no idea how I send the dev my save file, or even where it is for that matter.
Still £6 or so for 15 hours isn’t bad, what else can you get for that price?
Quite happy to change my rating should this problem be sorted, as somewhere in here there is a fun game that doesn’t tax the grey matter too much

Welcome to Goodland
You could never have known you would end up in a situation like this, yet here you are: helping a Mexican cartel with money laundering. The cartel doesn’t listen to excuses, and it rarely gives second chances. You would not wish to disappoint them. You know what happened to the last person who did.
And so, you start small in a secluded town in Minnesota; a place surrounded by beautiful forests, yet filled with dark secrets. There are several factions already in play here and they will not want to share their influence with a rising force… but can you survive without allies?
You will need all your courage, ingenuity and perseverance if you wish to overcome the challenges laid before you. Even those closest to you might betray you, but you might also find allies in the most unexpected of places.
-
Plan your actions, acquire businesses, protect and promote your business
-
Balance your reputation with the police and two local criminal gangs lest your unreliable comrades turn against you
-
Make choices and face consequences that aren’t always immediately apparent; there is no such thing as a perfect solution
-
Embrace the corruption and climb the ranks in the cartel, try to ask the FBI for help… or find another way to ensure your safety and independence

My Character is Zee, i have made it to 100mil + and love the game. I would like to see more upgrades past 2060 and a possibility of multiple teams that can make multiple games at once.

Open Wheel Manager
Came back to the game there hoping it would be better. Still same issues. Crashes randomly(can’t even finish 1 lap of a race), doesn’t give an error code or anything. Shame, great concept.
EDIT - Was crashing because of a mod I was using I think. I recommend the game, modding it is quite fun too

The game is still being developed but it is already entertaining. Using Motorsport Manager to make a direct comparison:
What OWM does better:
-
Engaged developer who is dedicated to improving core product as opposed to shelling out DLC and shitty mobile apps.
-
Open communication with community. It’s very easy to get in contact and very quick responses.
-
Mod support is being better prioritized and supported (tracks will be moddable).
What Motorsport Manager does better:
- Graphics and racing simulation model are superior
