I think this game is really fun. You can make your own movies and the process is pretty easy to learn. It's not about who is the best or who costs the most money to hire. It is about who would be good for said movie you're trying to go for. Great game to pass the time!

ShowBiz Tycoon has exceeded all my expectations. For months, I searched for a comprehensive movies and TV studio simulation, and this game offers both. The level of detail you can incorporate into your movies and TV shows is impressive. If you're seeking a text-based simulation with added features and the ability to personalize movie and TV show posters for each production, this is the perfect fit. As a fan of Grey Dog Software, the makers of Total Extreme Wrestling Simulation (TEW), I am thoroughly hooked on this game. With its endless mode, you can immerse yourself indefinitely. If you've been struggling to find the right simulation game, look no further - ShowBiz Tycoon will keep you entertained for a long time to come.

Good UI type of movie manager instead of the usual build a building and manage employee game. Also has a fairy in depth tv show option, streaming, different markets, etc.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
