Your favorite management/tycoon games!

[paulvine]

I guess only big fans of management games reach this place, so it would be great to know what are your favorite management games and a little description why you like it. Together we might discover many great titles that we have never heard before and also give some clues to Admin of who his/her audience is and what we like!

No need to mention Film Studio Tycoon, we love it all!


1) OOTP (Out of the Park Baseball)
I discovered this game a year ago and I had no clues what baseball is and what are the rules of this game. I couldn’t name a single famous baseball player or team. It took me several months to learn rules of baseball from all kind of sources in order to even start the game. Imagine start playing Football Manager and having no clues of what football/soccer is and how to play it and who Cristiano Ronaldo is and what Manchester United is!

But trust me guys, the moment you overcome the fear of baseball and learn its rules, OOTP will be one of your favorite management games, if not the most! And according to many ratings, this game beats titles like Capitalism Lab and RimWorld, it is just not many people know it!

Why do I love it? It is the most accurate simulation of one part of the real world! And you can start it in 1871 or in 2020 with all the data being accurate to details in relation to the baseball world!


2) GearCity
Ok, this is the more famous one and many people know it. It could be my favorite management game because of its excellent economic simulation close to the real world. It is just I wish there would be real car companies with real models that you compete to. Yes, you can get a mod with real brands, but it is still random.


3) Capitalism Lab
This is the game that I play for nearly 20 years and it still gets monthly updates. No further comments needed.


4) Industrial Giant 2
One of the first management games I ever played. This game made me fall in love with the genre.


5) Hollywood Movie Studio
I don’t want to compare this one to Film Studio Tycoon. I’ll just say that HMS is the closest one to FST from movie tycoon subgenre!


Honorable mentions (obvious, everyone knows, but I still love):
Software Inc
Prison Architect
Cities: Skylines
SimCity Series
The Movies

One game I really like is called Movie Business 2 its another film tycoon game but it feels very unique and requires some sort of strategy... I will say some players might not like it because it can be a bit random at points but I believe it truly is amazing. It uploads every movie you make to the database with players from all around the world and you can compare movies, it has a HUGE database of actors, actresses, directors, cinematographers, and composers. It has 5 award shows for those people who like winning virtual trophies. And the dev is active making minor month or so updates and HUGE yearly updates. I would really give it a shot.

movie business 2 was really good but the only problem i have is the box office even if the movie is really good you still lose money if the bugdet exceed 100m
