About Big Ambitions

✦ AI summary

Build any business you want in New York City, from a small gift shop to a sprawling corporate empire, managing every detail from hiring staff to buying delivery trucks. Balance your grind with personal needs like sleep and happiness as you accumulate wealth, real estate, and luxury goods in this immersive life sim where every building is yours to enter and claim.

Your bank balance is tiny, but your ambitions are big.

With a little help from your uncle, you get an apartment and your first job. But then it's up to you to achieve success and take over New York City any way you like.

Slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path – the possibilities are limitless in this vast business sandbox. You've never played anything like this!

Go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture. Put your money into investment funds and real estate. Succeed, fail, rebuild. But remember to take care of yourself, sleep and stay happy on your rise to the top.

Do you have what it takes to build your own empire?
Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Start a business, work smart, make it thrive and enjoy your life. How do you want to be successful? How far can you push it? How long can you make it last?
Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store, florist, and more. You decide what success is - whether it’s a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions developing websites.
Take out a loan, rent a building, design the logo, renovate the store, get stock, manage your money, hire staff, and build your infrastructure. Soon, you may have to start importing products from the harbour and distributing them through a network of warehouses.
A bigger business means managers. Hire HR Managers, Logistics Managers, and Purchasing Agents. They all need desks and computers, so you’ll need a fancy headquarters.
Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Go to a supermarket, but make sure you have a refrigerator at home. Big Ambitions is a life sim where your character has to physically interact with the world to survive and succeed.
Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown, a luxurious townhouse in Hell’s Kitchen, or a series of skyscrapers. Fill each with furniture that suits your style and standing. Invest your hard-earned cash in real estate to grow your empire. Take over the city piece by piece.
Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe risk it all at the casinos or put your money into investment funds and reap the rewards.
As you progress, you always need to ensure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it?
Big Ambitions takes what you love about the viral sensation ‘Startup Company’ to even greater heights.

✦ AI summary

Big Ambitions is praised by players as an excellent tycoon game that successfully blends business management, life sim elements, and logistics, with substantial depth and customization that lets you play at your own pace from chill to optimization-focused. Common strengths include satisfying supply chain building, interior design options, good performance, and hundreds of hours of engagement, though some players note the factory and late-game content becomes tedious and repetitive compared to the earlier, more varied gameplay.

It is the best tycoon game i have played. With the settings you can basically turn off the life sim part if you want. It is as chill or as min maxy as you want it to be. 10/10

So I was certain I had already written a review, but apparently not. WIth 1.0 hitting and more than 200 hours clocked, I'll cut to the chase : awesome game, stop reading, go buy and play it. It's a great dive in business management, with depth, cutomization, loooooots of logistics to learn and handle, my inner Factorio self is content with handling the whole setup for a given market, even though they (thankfully) simplfied factories and it now implies way less belts than it used to, you still get this satisfying feeling when completing your brand new supply chain. The mix of character management (food, happiness), Sims-like elements and raw management aspects can be a bit confusing at first, but I find it to work very well overall. The RPG player in me would almost appreciate that our guy would get a bit more customization and skills to work on but hey, that's probably just me. On that side, the only "xp" you can get is taking 5 mandatory business school courses, required to unlock some capabilities as you advance. I won't spoil too much but, to give you an example, one of them allows you to manage more than one business... And you'll need it soon enough, as you expand into runni…

I enjoyed this game a ton! It's like sims but with businesses/money as focus. I love designing the interior of my shops/offices. I wish there were more furniture/walls/floors options! What I don't like: After reaching the factory part, it gets boring. I suggest not rushing the quests and just enjoy it at your own pace since the later part becomes too tedious (after the warehouse). I started a new save file on sandbox mode and am just focusing on designing buildings instead of making money (making factories and/or buying businesses).
