As a person who has put in an hour or two, this game has scratched an itch that I haven't been able to reach since sims 2. I'm an old man, who doesn't much like change, but I've been able enjoy every update, with the exception of the most recent. The game seemingly gets better and better. It's worth full price, so definitely a steal when on sale.

There is a lot I could say about Big Ambitions as a game. It's fun and addicting, frustrating at times, deep yet understandable, and overall a good game. Not great, that title will have to be reserved for 1.0 when it comes out. But if you want a more in depth review of the game, continue to read. Otherwise, that is my rating. The Tutorial is honestly great. I heard they revamped it and I can say it's probably one of the best tutorials I've seen in a game. It lets you do it at your own pace, it teaches you mechanics I NEVER would have understood without it. Overall, it's a solid tutorial and I recommend ALL new players to give it a shot. It's not annoying like the tutorials in most games. :) The game loop is interesting. Because though it's an open world game, it still has one. Though you can do a lot of things in the game, none of them are substancial like the main aspect of the game. To have Big Ambitions and create your empire. Example: You can get a gym membership and work out. It increases your happiness but you can do that with a PC and a Book. Likewise you can go to the park and see all the motionless people... for happiness. But you can also do that with a PC and a book. There are a lot of mechanics in the game that are more roleplay in flavor but there are better things to do with your time. The main aspect of the game, your Big Ambitions, is to move away from working a job and making your money without the middle man. Literally you start working under someone just to get a few bucks. But then you get a loan and start your business. Then you make money using wholesalers. Then you pay off your loans. Then you get employees to work for you. Followed by more businesses, more employees, making a headquarters, making a office based business, having warehouses to cut out the middle man again (wholesalers), and eventually getting a factory (more on that later). You are doing all this while fighting your 'rivals.' To be honest, they are annoying. They are your competition and in the spur of a moment, they can destroy 1/3 of your income because they feel like it. It's an interesting mechanic that overall gives you some set back while you grow. Slowly, you work to make things cheaper for you, more money for you. Get a bigger home, get a nice car, own a dozen delivery trucks. Everything feels like progression and that little bit of happiness you get from seeing number go up is ADDICTING. This game is addicting. But there is bad, which will be addressed, and that is factories. It's basically end game and unfortunately, as they are now, they feel more like a chore and a money sink. You spend tens of hundreds of thousands of dollars on machines. You get people to work on them around the clock. You hire dozens upon dozens of employees. All for you to... not get enough resources to supply your shop. Everything else felt good. I could stockpile on thousands of materials if I had the money and if I so wished. But with factories, no, you're lucky to get enough for a large store. Don't even think about stockpiling thousands of items. You're struggling to get 100 at roughly 100 employees. Factories and the flavor mechanics are the only downsides to the game in my opinion. Everything else is super fun and addicting. The world feels alive and as we're getting closer to release and maybe even more content beyond that. All I can say is... this game has some pretty Big Ambitions. :)

NEEDS MULTI PLAYER! Local and online. this game could have so much more potential if we could play with or against our friends. Also we could do Role Play with severs if they were added.

Sept. 2025

A great mix of The Sims and business management — perfect for fans of entrepreneurship. The gameplay is deep, addictive, and gives you real freedom to build your empire. I’d love to see more industries added (like healthcare, tech, or automotive) and a 2–4 player co-op mode where friends can run businesses together with different roles, such as RH, Finance, Marketing, etc. Overall great game!

This game made me want to start a real business which I did. Thanks Big Ambitions!
