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.

Do you like tycoon games? Well this is it: the ultimate tycoon game. Start as a nobody with a wealthy uncle who's willing to give you a chance in the Big City to start your own tycoon empire. One of the absolute best tycoon games I've ever played and let me tell you I've tried a few (just look at how many games I have.) I am incredibly excited to see what will be coming with the 1.0 update as they have already made the game something incredible. If nothing else, if you like tycoon games, you need to try this.1 found this helpful
Really fun and realistic game, highly recomend.
I have always wanted a proper life/business management simulator game for the last 15 years, after trying countless games of similar type I can say that this game is the only one that satisfied the itch for this type of game I have always had. Literally nearly anything you could think of doing in a life/business sim game is here. Most games are missing either the business side being fleshed out or the personal side (buying housing, cars, boats etc). This game has both and both are done exceptionally well, and is stil being improved and worked on at in incerdible pace with more added all the time. Extremely addictive game, 10/10.
I just cant get into it, maybe the game is too slow? maybe the controls are too clunky? Maybe its the awkward camera angle? I dont know, I have tried to get into it for years, just cant seem to have any fun playing it.
Even at $50 this game would be a fantastic deal. I found out I loved deeply systemic simulation games not too many years ago, but I still have ended up playing many stellar titles. Supermarket Simulator, House Flipper, Anno 1800, Two Point games, and Schedule 1 just to name the ones played most recently. But Big Ambitions stands head and shoulders above them all. The only issue I see is that I've explored every mechanic and system offered after 220 hours. I don't think there's much left to learn. But I can start a new save file and this time play on hard mode and try to optimize farther, so I bet in total I'll get 500 hours of fun out of this game.
Ingrid Schneider... This review is for you. You're German accent doesn't make you a better business Woman. You know what they say in German: Wer zuletzt lacht, lacht am besten. That said, I will not stop and will do anything in my power to set an end to your "business adventures". Anyways gotta dip, there is money to be made
