Bakery Shop Simulator

Bakery Shop Simulator

The game starts slowly, but in a good way. Nice slow pace to learn the game and the best way to balance your spending vs. selling. Once you get the hang of it, gameplay speeds up.

Con’s: Rather short play time. Once you have everything you can buy, there really is no goal and it just keeps going, doing the same thing over and over with no new milestones or anything new to be eager for. I would love to see more options open up in the future. Perhaps ad items to spruce up your bakery to make it more, you. Plants, wall decorations, color options, renaming option. These things can be unlocked as you play, giving reason to keep playing.

It’s a simple game, at first your just trying to meet the basic needs with very limited money, which is quite fun, but later after you upgrade a few things your kind of done with nothing else left to strive for. No customisation available to your shop or the wall hangings, your just locked in your little booth with stock and sales register.

The customer requests increase from 1 to 3 items per visit, but that’s about it.

I completed all upgrades/recipes in under 4 hours with a good amount of stock and a full star rating, so it’s very short for a simulator.

Fireworks Simulator: Realistic

Fireworks Simulator: Realistic

i would not recommend this game its not more than a concept currently.

the game didnt got any updates or informations since about mai. you have 6 fireworks ingame but only 5 of them actually work. a dame dev should be able to recreate the current state of this game in less than 1 week i guess.

Fireworks Mania and Pyroworks are much more advanced have tons more fireworks and a lot more replay value than this game it gets boring after not even 20 min and i have about 380h in Fireworks Mania and about 120h in Pyroworks dont waist your time and money on this game at least in the current state maybe in 1 or 2 years but not right now.

This is well done. It’s a beautiful, park-like setting where you can place and set off fireworks and enjoy the sights and sounds. I’m hoping more will be added later, such as ways to save configurations and place entire saved shows out to watch. Would also be nice to have the ability to plan out a show with timed releases, etc.

But, just as it is it is enjoyable and beautiful to watch. The sounds are well done. It’s a relaxing way to kill some time and could be fun to play with while listening to a podcast or the like.

Manufactoria 2022

Manufactoria 2022

This is one of the best games in the zachlike genre that I’ve played. It beats every non-Zachtronics zachlike I can think of, and beats a bunch of Zachtronics games as well. The computational model in this game is just so rich despite its simplicity, that even 70 hours in, I can still discover new patterns that help me optimise a level or two.

The original Manufactoria introduced me to this genre way back when, and this is a fantastic remake that improves on the original in every aspect. It took me a little over 70 hours to beat every level and get every medal in the game, and I could put in countless more to push my scores to their limits.

If you like engineering/puzzle games, definitely try this out. A small number of simple mechanics combine powerfully enough to let you do very complex things. Plus, compare scores with global leaderboards and your friends.

If you remember Manufactoria from 2010, this is the same idea but more polished and with more puzzles.

My Universe - Fashion Boutique

Considering there isn’t a lot of fashion games like this available, I was really excited to play this one, but unfortunately, I was disappointed.

The game play I did get to enjoy was fun, but the constant crashes make the game completely unplayable anymore. At first I had few issues, but once I started progressing, the game started consistently freezing or crashing entirely, making me lose all the clothes and orders I had made/fulfilled since the game so rarely saves. It’s really not worth remaking all the clothes every other day. Once I completed the third fashion show, my avatar completely disappeared and I had to abandon all my progress. I really tried to keep playing it, but I can’t anymore.

Ardarium

Ardarium

nice world/weather/civ simulator.

Enjoyable to just watch

Real player with 47.4 hrs in game

For a couple of dollars it’s a worthwhile experience. Just turn it on and let it go while you are working or doing something else and occasionally note how the world is changing.

I would like to see some more options to adjust the frequency of events or even turn some of them off, but even without them it’s fairly entertaining.

Quick warning: If you set the tiles to 40x40 it can take a toll on your frame rate. If that bothers you for this type of game (slow panning, laggy gameplay, etc.) you’ll want to keep it below 900 tiles^2

Bus Simulator 21

Bus Simulator 21

Sadly too many bugs in this game to recommend it. Which is sad, since it has potential.

Real player with 58.6 hrs in game

It’s a good game compared to previous editions 2016 and 2018. That said, a lot of progress is still needed to emerge alongside other bus simulation games like OMSI 2 or The Bus.

Many minor bugs spoil the gaming experience:

  • The headlights of NPC vehicles are for some non-functional.

  • Crowds of NPCs on the bridge north of the Westfield Corners stop.

  • The rear headlights (brake lights) are not functional on the IVECO Urbanway: They remain either on or off but there is no link with the braking.

Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator

Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator

Time Played: 40Hrs

General Thoughts: Cute art, fun but unpolished niche game if you love spreadsheets, expensive for being unfinished

Pros:

  • Art is cute

  • Choices have consequences and you have to make adjustments every year

  • Each wine has its own personality and quirks to how to create it

  • I like having to make mistakes and suss out which wines have to be made which way

  • I like taking notes and refining my process

  • Chill game and late game is very relaxed

  • Devs are patching and incorporating suggestions

Real player with 60.8 hrs in game

This game is everything you’re looking for in a wine management sim, with some fatal UI and design flaws that prevent it from being good. It is a highly complex game with a nuanced engine for deciding the quality of your wines - so many variables both plannable and random have to be contended with to make great wine. Even the progression as you get familiar with winemaking and grow your winery and its capacity is interesting. The game introduces you to its mechanisms via a cute little campaign that is enjoyable but unfortunately only does the most basic job of informing you how to work things. And now the flaw…
