Economic simulation is not just entertainment. Such games usually display the real processes taking place in the market, teach survival in the stone jungle, business development. Even competitors here behave almost the same way as in reality.
Economic development – one of the main and often the most important task in the strategy games, of which we have a separate article, so in town planning simulators, survival games this element is expressed brightly and makes the player to move the crinkles.
FARMING SIMULATOR SERIES
It used to be that work on the farm was hard, dirty and often thankless, and the farmer was always tired and sunburned. Modern farming is a different story. In Farming Simulator you will have many opportunities to develop your own business away from the hustle and bustle of the city. You will have at your disposal the latest equipment, exactly replicating the farming machines of the leading brands.
PRISON ARCHITECT
In Prison Architect you will be busy building… a maximum security prison. It would seem to be no big deal: you build a concrete box, put up cells, hire musclemen as guards, put up a mob of maniacs, thieves, murderers, and other high society types, and make sure everything goes well. But there’s no way around it. It’s easy to build a prison, but it’s not easy to make it work.
Before you know it, you’ll find that the prisoners have rioted and sent all the guards to the infirmary, made a dig with a tablespoon, or hijacked a garbage truck and are now rushing to enjoy their freedom. You have to deal with the in-game economy every minute, and it affects absolutely everything, even the mood of the criminals. And they, by the way, are all different: for example, those who have a small sentence, prefer to behave calmly, the same who are sitting for a serious crime, they can easily start a riot, they have nothing to lose.
REC CENTER TYCOON
Of the many the same type managers of hotels, amusement parks and other recreational facilities Rec Center Tycoon differs primarily in its realism and depth of simulation of the functioning of real business.
For example, even if the rest at your base and do not like some of your customers, they will still pay the full cost of the trip. But be prepared for negative feedback, which will affect the popularity of your institution among new customers. An important feature of the project – a well thought-out system of characters, preferences and skills of the staff working for you.
TWO POINT HOSPITAL
Ideological successor of Theme Hospital, which has adopted from the original game branded humor and emphasis on micro-control gameplay, while significantly improving the graphics.
Two Point Hospital – it is still the same desperate attempts to keep control of the hospital, while the corridors of its staff running away from the ghosts, and in the wards are dying dissatisfied with the service (cold, heat, not enough soda machines) patients. The game is played in a deliberately non-serious style, but don’t let it fool you: you have to be a true management genius to succeed.
BANISHED
Banished is a city-building strategy with a very tangible element of survival. The main resource here is not silver or gold, but people. A handful of settlers are forced to cobble together the first log cabins in the new village and try not to freeze or starve to death. If they succeed, there is every chance to turn a run-down village into a prosperous city with a developed economy and a contented population.
ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 3
In RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 the player also sees the rails but not the trains but the roller coaster. You’ll be handed a bundle of money and sent to build your own amusement park on a piece of land. You’ll have a lot of fun building it – you can stuff it with rides, kiosks with food, drinks and souvenirs, fountains, TVs on poles and other stuff.
CAPITALISM 2
To play Capitalism you need to have some knowledge in economics and finance. This is proven if only by the fact that this game has been part of university curricula in USA thanks to its high level of detail of industrial and financial processes.
PLANET COASTER
Once again we find ourselves in an amusement park and we can do anything we want with it. You can place simple and safe carousels for the little ones to make your park a favorite destination for young moms. You can build a steep roller coaster – young people will be lining up in a long line to squeal to their hearts’ content.
By the way, it is slides will have to design yourself. This is a separate fun, and complexity, because no one abolished the laws of physics – by building a lot of too steep turns, you run the risk that the car will simply get stuck in the middle of the hill.
