I bought this game way back in 2015, didn't play it much do to some bugs and a crappy computer but was going through my old games a realized that this game is still being updated in 2025. Developer obviously loves the game and keeps adding to it. for five dollars that seems like a steal.

Hiring and managing workers reminds me of a lite version of Big Ambitions. Good simple game to get into when you want to build some basic stores or a even a mega mall. Mods help to add more products to game as there isn't that many in the base game. Good deal on sale.

⭐️ Another Brick in the Mall – Review For $5, this game is an absolute steal. It feels like Prison Architect meets Mall Tycoon, with a bit of top-down Supermarket Simulator thrown in. You design supermarket layouts, manage logistics, and watch everything run automatically once things are set up. The unlocking system is super satisfying, and while the game takes a little time to understand at first, it becomes incredibly fun once it clicks. What I loved: Ridiculously good value for the price Rewarding progression system — unlocking new features always feels meaningful Huge map size, giving tons of room for expansion and creativity Gameplay is smooth and addicting once you learn the flow What could be better: The game is very easy. Once you understand the mechanics and get a few late-game unlocks, money starts piling in with almost no effort. I’d love to see harder modes or better challenges to keep things interesting long-term. Quality of life improvements that would make it even better: Clone tool for stores — copy a store’s layout and paste it elsewhere Store setting copy system (hours, staffing, schedules) with a one-click hire option Better store organization/UI — with lots of stores, scrolling through the list becomes overwhelming Final Thoughts: Even with a few minor complaints, this game is incredibly fun and highly worth the price. With more difficulty options and a few QOL upgrades, it could easily be a top-tier management sim. ✅ Highly Recommended

Incredibly fun little tycoon game with extensive mod support. If you are a fan of old school tycoons, this is definitely an option for you.

There are two types of people who will play this game. One, people who look at the screenshots on the store page and expect some big, grand simulator game bordering on the 4X genre that will keep them entertained for thousands of hours. At best, they'll play for maybe a dozen hours and say the game is crap because it didn't meet their high expectations. To be fair, the screenshots on the store page and even some of the written descriptions do make this game seem a bit more advanced than it is. The other kind of person is someone who loves the experience of gradually learning how to do things better each time and can see the potential in their builds as they improve and gain a deeper understanding of how the game works. If you're this kind of person, then maybe Another Brick in the Mall is for you. I want to be up front, there's not much to the gameplay except building stores and a few other businesses like restaurants or movie theaters and watching up to several thousand customer NPCs stream through your shopping complex on a daily basis. There are many items in the base game to sell and many possible stores to sell them in, but if you're not hooked by the two hour mark then the game might not be for you, because it won't change much except in terms of scale. There are many mods you can try out, however the vast majority of them simply add new items to sell or change the way the game looks a little. Get a few mods after you've learned how the game works, you'll want the extra stuff to sell and a few of them are really good. There's a particularly funny restaurant mod that parodies a real life chain with a particular uniform that only hires women with certain... assets. You'll know it when you see it. I've put in 53 hours according to steam, and I'd guess the last three of them were idled waiting for the last achievement to pop. I had to idle the game and watch stuff on youtube because if I didn't I was going to go insane, I saw how I could do things more efficiently and was struggling not to restart a new mega structure in sandbox mode, designing a build that could take up to 12 hours real time to assemble. In particular, my roads were still awful and it only really clicked how to make them better on that final run after I'd built everything and couldn't change much. I'm the kind of person this game was made for, I think. The difficulty is a little high, you're going to have a number of runs end with less than ideal results in the normal difficulty, which could result in dozens of hours spent where you ultimately accomplish nothing. I didn't give the higher difficulties a proper try, and the few minutes I spent with a scenario told me they were all the tedious bits of the game with the fun stuff removed, or at least delayed until later in the run. Thankfully there are modded save files you can use to get the related achievements, which I freely admit is the only reason I got them all. The sandbox mode feels too easy in comparison, starting here might make the most sense given what I've said but will also make the game quite a bit shorter and could negatively impact your experience. So, maybe save that for when you're 20-30 hours in and have most of the achievements already. A tip that might help: Don't take out loans unless you're going for the million dollars in debt achievement, and can pay it back right after the achievement pops, or you don't mind simply reloading a save before you took out the loan. I had one run that was fine end because I took out a loan and suddenly my daily customer count took a huge dip. It was just bad luck, but it wasted maybe 15 hours and I would've been fine in the long term if I hadn't taken out the loan. The game is well polished and has some really nice features such as in game achievement progress tracker, something I wish was industry standard. It's simple but functional, and even with a late stage mall that saw 7,000 daily customers I didn't really have any issues running it on my computer, although I do have better than recommended specs by a fair bit. I did have one crash, that was dozens of hours in and I'm not sure what caused it. My only issues were largely a result of my own stupidity, although there are a few real problems the game has. One, and this might apply to most games using the steam workshop feature, when you subscribe to workshop mods you'll likely need to verify your game files in order to get them to download. This caused some frustration for about ten minutes before I thought to google it. Two, you have to manually select an item to sell for every table, shelf, clothing rack, etc. This can really take a while when you're building a mall to last into the late game, and you might have fifteen items in one store, with six shelves per item to fill. That's a lot of clicking all at once. I'd eventually get to a point where I would build three or four shops, let them have a few days worth of business, then save and quit because the thought of doing that another twenty times in a row was too draining. Overall, I highly recommend this game under certain conditions. If it's on sale, and you think you're the type of person to enjoy it based on what I've said, then go for it. There was a really good long edit of Jerma985 playing it which got me interested in the game, maybe go watch that if you're unsure. I got this at a 60% off discount, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
