“Warehouse Tycoon”
Do you know how to program in Lua? Are you bummed by this game not being as good as it should be? message me. I recommend the game, however only if you know how to program either in Lua or are willing to learn so that you can fix his glitches and crappy programming and make it better. Half of my play-time is due to me fixing the game and running it over and over again. Again, message me if you’re interested in helping me fix this because the developer is never touching it again.

Airport CEO
This is theoretically a very good and fun game. The mechanics are certainly towards the easier end of the spectrum, but there’s enough depth and variety to keep things interesting. I would absolutely love to give this game a thumbs up for it’s mechanics and central gameplay loop. I would put in far more hours if it would allow me to.
I give it a thumbs down because as more and more features and mechanics were added, bugs were not focused on or managed anywhere remotely well enough. It’s incredibly rare to go more than 15-30 minutes without something breaking and requiring a restart, even with a small airport. Months ago, there were still frequent game breaking bugs fixable by restarts, but you could go a couple hours in between (except with massive airports). Most of the time, it was just the pathfinding system deciding to check out and needing a kick. Now it seem like every system just breaks anytime you look at it.

First off let me say that the game is in Alpha, and the Devs still seem to be very active at this point, and that is why I am giving this an overall recommended tag. Now thats over with let me go into a bit of detail, and show what I see as good (or even potential) and the bad (or frustrating).
I have built a few aiports in the game, and each time I keep hitting the same conclusions:
- This is an airport sim, and if you are like me the details matter. The Devs have gone to the lenghts of allowing us to plot out taxiways to each stand, but then not allowed directional control of the taxiways. So planes will use what they feel like, and this always causes major log jams when you scale up the airport.

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.

Parkitect
Let me begin with, I was one of the individuals who contributed to the Kickstarter to help this game become a reality. Heck, I remember when Sebastian was showing off his concept work using programmer art to demonstrate the systems he was working on. Then Garret hopped on the train and the game REALLY took off. I would liken this game to a beautiful fusion of the original Theme Park by Bullfrog and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. I will explain the how and why later on in my review. This game as a whole is a massive labor of love by everyone involved and it truly shines because of this.

Buckle up; it’s a lot of words!
I initially “reviewed” Parkitect back in 2016, while the game was still in it’s alpha state of development. Not a full-fledged review, more a preview. It would be unfair to judge something that isn’t done. Yet, back then, I felt the urge to write about this wonderful game (as will be clear when you read it below).
The alpha version in 2016, it was already really good. But it has always been good. The thing is, now, it has consistently gotten better - and better. Every month, somehow, the updates are exciting and interesting. Sometimes grand, sometimes small but helpful. Always stepping up from the excellent work that has been done before.

Planet Zoo
It shows the true meaning of taking care of animals making them feel more alive unlike other games that animals seem more dead than alive, this game is worth the money and i highly recommend this game to anyone that loves zoo’s or who wants to study zoology it has a tab that you can open leading to hours of beautiful notes of each animal from what they eat to if they are endangered to how many in a group and many more things i would write about this beautiful graphic game but i would take hours writing on this amazing game, me myself want to be study zoology and be a vet or zoo keeper so this game is great to learn more about animals, one again I highly recommend this game to others! and it is worth the money!

UPDATE please read if you already have, or especially if you have the game - though i still don’t recommend the game if its not on sale –
I really wanted to like this game, there are so many things about it to love, but oh my god, it is so broken. There are so many game breaking glitches and technical errors, not to mention just straight up poor development choices that really made this depressing to play for me. I love sim development games.
Examples of errors - So you can do construction, as long as you hold down shift as well as other shortcut keys and are able to freely move the walls, still, floors are completely useless, it does make construction a little more fun knowing i can at least use the walls and roofs, I don’t understand why they added floors, snapping the pathways to a grid can help if you want to make a plaza though, as the path will become larger instead of just longer with some branches, but you still have to attach vendors/exhibits to the ends of the path and are not allowed to put it directly on top. which is annoying.

Prison Tycoon: Under New Management
Good thinks first:
-
2 point hospital style is great for this, UI and control is great
-
Actually difficult eco, it is not easy to balance thinks…
Thinks which must be updated:
-
Nobody cares about building cells. Allow copy/paste of buildings (just like 2PH have room classes across games. This is must have). To build one, two is fine, to build 40 is just a waste of time.
-
Cleaning of the rooms is broken. Sometimes items in the room cannot be cleaned for what ever reason (fckng toilet seat cannot be cleaned) and the maintenance guy looses all his stamina on one item. Then he goes to the rest and another one comes in and spend his stamina on the same item. I have to manually move the item - then it is fine. This could be “fixed” using magic trick - maintenance cleans the room as a whole, not per item.

I love these kind of games but there could be improvements such as:
1. It would be good to have workshops that prisoners can learn new skills that will help them get a job after they leave prison. There are therapies available that treat their disorders but Workshops are different and is there so they can learn new things in order to adjust to the society once they go back. Such as cooking classes, learning a new musical instrument, learning foundations of business and finance 101.
Then you will be able to hire professional chefs, musicians, lecturers to come and teach.

20 Minute Metropolis - The Action City Builder
I’ll confess I’m biased because a friend that works for me did some of the artwork on this and I’ve long been a fan of Dejobaan.
This is a fun, bite-sized strategy game and less than $3. It’s hard to go wrong. I can’t think of any time I’ve actually regretted spending $3, but this was enjoying to play, and I will keep trying to get my name on the top page.
I would love to see a couple quality of life improvements: namely drag and drop roads, hotkeys or an expanded toolbar so I don’t have to fuss with the selection menus. Daily leaderboards would be nice too, so I have a better chance at the top ten.
– Real player with 4.8 hrs in game
Super fun and hectic. It can become a little easy after you’ve figured out a good strategy but you can always use a different starting perk which adds and takes away some difficulty. The models are really cute, reminds me of a toy town or Lego.
Some improvements I’d make would be, dragging roads to build instead of clicking for each tile. This isn’t a big issue, but could herald RSI if played too often.
I’d like more maps, a random map generation would be cool, it would make each run very different and unique.

Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game
30-01-2020
So i’ve played this game since a very early version on the ‘Kee’ game engine back around 2011~2012 (long before it came to steam). The game has grown a lot over the past decade and the small development team keeps improving it on a steady basis.
I only rarely review a game and I will be very honest about my feelings on this one and go a bit into detail since I feel this game needs this kind of review.
Target audience:
This game has a very specific target audience. I wouldn’t recommend this game to casual gamers. According to me, the primary target audience could be described as ‘persons who enjoy getting into the technical aspects of designing consumer cars and their combustion engines’. The secondary target audience is ‘persons who enjoy running a car company and try to be a succesfull tycoon selling their own car designs’.

Managed to create a Pinto that didn’t explode…and then I put a Turbo V12 in it…then it exploded
5/7
In all seriousness, Automation is a great ‘build-a-car’ “sandbox” as it is right now. If you are at all interested in car design you should give this game a look. While you will not get the same designability if you were to design the car in CAD or some other program, for a game (and it is a GAME, not a toolset) the options are numerous and your creativity is the real limitation. Seriously watch the vids (though they are of earlier builds and dont show everything available) and look the discourse forums for this game and see what people have built.
