They went from working on one game, Rockstar Simulator, to working on at least a half dozen. Huge red flag. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from this dev.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE! The devs don't care about their gamers, they are only here to make cash grab games. They promise an update but 5 months later and no word? They have 4 other games that are coming soon, that is way to many to keep up with, so yeah cash grab developer/publisher. Please do not buy from this trash dev you will be disappointed just like I and a whole lot of other people. Creators I follow a lot of you on Youtube so please don't stream anything from them cause you are going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game just dropped and it already has that “just one more upgrade” vibe 😄 building up your biz from scratch is super satisfying. it's simple but fun. Perfect if you’re into light tycoon games. Some systems feel a bit raw (like employee AI), but it’s a solid start. Curious to see where it goes!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feel like a wanna be shop sim + Big Ambitions game. Big Ambitions is way better imo. The graphics and everything in this is disappointing for a 2025-2026 game release. In its current state I don't recommend this over Big Ambitions or other sims.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much! Business Simulator is super fun and addictive. Building my company and watching it grow feels so rewarding. Definitely worth playing!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The whole ‘open multiple stores from scratch’ angle already gives the game a cool vibe, and that little open-world layer on top makes it feel even nicer to sink into.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a promising and beautiful game. I believe it will become even better in the coming days.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm revising my review after essentially completing the game. I cannot really recommend this game. It's very buggy, very clunky, very poorly balanced, and very incomplete. The UI is in dire need of help, many things simply do not work. you basically have to quit and restart the game at the beginning of every day. The navigation for placing elements in a store is brutal, especially for the quad rack. It needs a grid, a design view or the ability to zoom out much further. The biggest issue…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game for the price if you like simulation games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the end of the year, I feel proud when I look at the companies I established in the Business Simulator 2026 game and their revenues. #2026 #bye2025 #business #indiegame #simulation
unlabelledView post →A great little game but very short, I am 7 hours in and have already ran out of things to do
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but here we are 😅 Even in Early Access, the game already feels pretty solid — the atmosphere, the gameplay loop, everything just clicks. You can tell there’s a lot of passion behind it. Sure, it’s missing a few things here and there, but for an early version, it’s doing great. The devs clearly have a good vision and think the game is good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Any player who enjoys Supermarket Simulator will love this game. It's like a more detailed and advanced version of SMS. Since it's a newly released game, it has a few minor issues, but it's a game not to be missed by simulation enthusiasts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been following this game for a long time, and I wanted to try it as soon as it came out. What I liked the most is taking loans, tracking them day by day, and paying them off on time, it really gave me that “business” feeling. Hiring and firing employees, opening new stores, and merging them together also added to that experience. I did fall under the map once, but the developers had already thought about it and added a “stuck” button, very thoughtful! Other than that, I didn’t encounter…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Our cashier is working hard so you can see this game Don't forget to add Business Simulator 2026 to your Steam wishlist #indiegame #memes #money
unlabelledView post →At this point this is a no go for me. Not that others wouldn't like it. Just from opening the first business i fought myself to quit many times. I made it to getting a manager and full staff, but the controls for playing are backwards for me. The control settings tab isn't working. It would be useful because somethings took me awhile to figure out. I also think with simulators that have stockers there should be a standard or general standard. I quit for the night today because i couldn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pleasant surprise honestly 😊 the game looks simple at first, but the more you play, the more satisfying it gets. ui’s clean, everything runs smooth, and it scratches that “just one more store!” itch. not perfect, but definitely worth a shot if you like management sims.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a fun time building my first shop and seeing the cash flow tick up 🙂 the strategy of which industry to pick and when to automate keeps things interesting. Could use more variety in mid‑game, but devs seem active so I’m optimistic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game that appears in my dreams at night! In Business Simulator 2026, I've started dreaming about founding new companies... #business #meme #indiegame #dream
unlabelledView post →surprisingly chill for a business sim 😄 you start small, make risky moves, and it actually feels rewarding when profits roll in. ui could be cleaner but updates are coming. solid time sink! 👍
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do like this game, this isn't a bad review nor a good one but I am giving it a thumbs down. Upon entering the game's main menu it looks and feels like a mobile game (has little pop up style adverts of other games on the sides of the menu selection) . The graphics are sub par and when you enter your vehicle it 100% looks and feels like a mobile game and again can be a lot better and hope these do improve for the longevity of the game. The business and gameplay aspect of the game itself however…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, this might be the most immersive and detailed business simulator I've experienced in recent years. The level of depth here is genuinely impressive – from the intricate park and garden structures to the way even the first shop purchase makes you feel like you're building an empire from the ground up. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching your vision materialize piece by piece, brick by brick. What really stands out is how the game captures that entrepreneurial journey…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like a BOSS... if you like BUSINESS and CAPITALISM, go for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played the demo when it came out, it was really good but I've gotta say i'm impressed with this version too. If you like a good management style game, check this one out 💯
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed. Most sims get repetitive, but I loved that I could run different kinds of shops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't even play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, it uses AI within the first cutscene. Absolute slop and looking at other reviews devs don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the game either. Go find other ways to waste water than generating ♥♥♥♥♥♥ videos for a cash grab game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Regarding employee motivation is stupid, all you do is running from store to store and motivate them...this sucks
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Business Simulator 2026 is a great game. I’m around 7 hours in and genuinely enjoying my time. The systems are fun, the loop is relaxing, and I’m excited to see what future updates will bring.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well it was going okay until I saved my game following the next day as suggested. Loaded it up today and half my shelfs have completely disappeared with all my stock . I appreciate its early access but very frustrating when you have put hours into the game. Developers please fix when you can please!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When thinking about what the perfect simulator game would be, this is the game that comes to mind. That isn't to say this game is perfect, however. And while I think (or hope, rather) that most if not all of these issues will be ironed out by the time the game fully releases, I'm still going to address them here. 1. Motivation: During the course of the day, regardless of if your shops are open or closed, your employees have and lose motivation. When their motivation reaches zero, they stop…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly deep and realistic! Every decision feels impactful — from hiring to global expansion. Smart AI rivals, detailed economy, and smooth UI. Easily one of the best management sims I’ve played. 9.5/10 — Feels like running a real business.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Love the idea and couldnt stop playing. I thought first its like any simulator but it feels more deep and fun. You should try this!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly, i didn’t expect much but the game’s actually really solid. it’s fun to see your business grow and there’s something satisfying about making smart moves and watching it pay off. it’s the kind of game you start for a few minutes and end up playing for hours 😅 overall, pretty good stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →different variety of shops felt good. definitely a step up from other shop games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just started playing Business Simulator 2026 it’s a chill game where you go from small startup to big business boss by buying shops, choosing industries, setting prices and automating operations. devs are indie so there are a few rough edges (some mechanics feel basic) but for the price it gives a fun taste of being the boss 🙂
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'ts look like fps big ambitious, so far so good. I Almost open second business already.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lost 2.5 hours tweaking prices and optimizing shelves and i loved every second of it. capitalism never felt this cozy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super buggy. Half the features don't even work in the game. The Auction's don't work, when you add too much staff they just vanish. The AI makes terrible choices when you let them run the game. The mechanics to remove merchandise from shelves is awful. The only business you can create is retail stores. When I saw this game came out in November of 2025, I almost fell over. Save your money, this is a waste of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last update as of today was November 2025, these devs are pushing out a lot of games but don't seem to be updating, could be a cash grab, I would wait, as of now they have to many bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok game, to short, to ez, to repetitive and not enough upgrade for staff and stuff, so when you have a big shop they can't restock fast enough so you lose so much cash and like this game only have a 50% profit per shop not more, so you spend 10k on suplie its 20k revenu, always
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for the price its a good game... if you like grinding on sims this is for you. couple things i've noticed. the cleaners leave a good amount of stuff behind. why?.... cuz they cant get to it. the shelves for whatever reason hide it and then your pollution rating goes up. the truck you get when start is rough, definitely needs some help. also went into one of my stores and many shelves were empty. fired and rehired manager but it didnt help. had to order stock then the workers put it out no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Desperately needs an optimization update. Using a Ryzen 7 5800x + RTX 3080 and the game is unplayable after you open your 7-10th business even capped at 45 FPS. Managers overtime order so much inventory the stockers can't keep up and the business goes from $20k profit a day to less than $1,000. The game is fun until you get halfway through and your PC can't keep up with the lack of optimization. If I got the game for less than $10 I wouldn't mind, but with tax it's nearly $20 CAD.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is simply another sim that is sold as innovation. Very bad optimization, played about 15 minutes with: 20 FPS, even with low graphics Generic Assets AI ANIMATIONS low creativity. I do not recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. Make it possible to pay employees in a lump sum. 2. The number of shelf organizers should be increased to match the store size. 3. The trash that overlaps the shelves should not be cleaned. The cleaners need to be smarter. 4. Allow for store changes. When I first signed the lease, I chose the wrong store, and I can't change. Or at least allow for a name change. Following Cinema Simulator, they've created a decent game. Overall, it seems to be pursuing an "easy tycoon" style, and it's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun, Bugs/Issues I found: - on the computer when I click on "Employee" the title says "Products" - I can pass through cars in the street - on the POS machine - when I press "Backspace" it clears the input instead of erasing the last digit I entered - If I throw a box with items in it, the items are gone with no refund, it should not let me throw it if it has items. Cool to have: - Since it's a company with different stores, it's nice to have a headquarters with some departments in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love this game! Even in Early Access, the level of detail is impressive and the gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying. Building up my small shop feels rewarding and genuinely fun. The game already feels so solid. I'm really looking forward to all the new features and updates the developers have planned.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →business simulator 2026 starts kinda simple but then u realise you're stuck in this loop of building n expanding ur company lol. choosing a industry, checking the market, trying to manage production etc… and somehow turning a tiny shop into a fully automated money making machine feels really nice tbh what i liked is that every decision kinda changes stuff, like u pick the right sector or invest at the right moment and suddenly ur company jumps to another level. way more addictive than i…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice game for those who like the genre. As a suggestion, it would be much better if we had access to all the stores on the tablet, including to motivate employess, restock and check prices. It's to much to run around the map from one store to another just for that, considering that you have to stay in each newly opened store at the cash register until lvl 5 when you can hire the first cashier, plus you still have to put the merchandise on the shelf by yourself until to level up to hire a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed playing Business Simulator 2026! The map design, shop rental system, and overall atmosphere gave me a sense of freedom that reminded me of GTA. What I loved most is that it’s not limited to one type of business — you can open shops with completely different themes, like a pet shop, and grow your business step by step. It’s a satisfying experience to build your own company from scratch and watch it expand. A truly great game — I’m excited to see what future updates will bring! 🌟
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a LOOOOONG way to go. I wouldn't even consider this an alpha state currently.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a complete product, they should not be selling this in the current state. I had to ask for a refund after trying to play this. It crashes constantly (took several attempts to even get past the welcome screen) and once inside, it is near impossible to navigate, so much so that the developers even put an "unstuck" button in game, because getting stuck is pretty much what happens every 30 seconds. This look likes it's trying to be GTA meets a Tycoon game, but in reality it really is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just started playing Business Simulator shortly after release, and it’s already looking really promising! The gameplay feels engaging, and I love the concept of building and managing your own business empire. The graphics and interface are clean, and you can tell the developers put real effort and passion into it. Excited to see how this game evolves — great start!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a game that fully lives up to the simulation genre!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who bought and played their cinema simulator, I honestly think this game is a better version. There are open-world interactions, news and more. Moreover, there could be a lot of updates that make game better. For example, capturing thiefs could be amazing by ourselves. But I will give solid 9,5/10 point if i rate the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started small, stayed chill, now I own half the city, nice one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought I was bad at business… until this game proved I’m even worse. Even though it's in Early Access, the game runs surprisingly stable and with the updates coming in I believe it has the potential to get even better.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is my initial review extremely buggy, at first it wouldnt load up, first time. i dont know why? secondly i had a message pop up on the screen after making first sale, it was NOT IN ENGLISH, i'm guessing polish or something, i wasnt able to get a screen it was gone too quickly, there are thieves in this game, and they out run you, you lose whatever they stole, not happy jan. i was looking forward to this game, now i know it's day one. but i am going to say NO, only because of the amount of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really promising first-person management sim! I love how you don't just manage everything from spreadsheets—you actually walk the city, choose your storefronts, set product prices, and physically set up your business. The progression from hands-on shopkeeping to hiring staff and automating entire operations feels genuinely rewarding
