Always been a pleasure to play through the years and i still love it ! Absolute must buy in the genre1 found this helpful
Software Inc. is one of those games that looks simple at first, but it has a surprising amount of depth. Starting with a small office and slowly growing into a successful software company feels really rewarding. I enjoyed designing my office, hiring employees, managing projects, and trying to stay ahead of the competition. There is a bit of a learning curve, and it can feel overwhelming when you're just starting, but once you understand how everything works it becomes incredibly addictive. If you like management and business simulation games, this one is definitely worth playing.
unfortunately a rather generic entry in the software dev simulator genre. No feature really stands out. Mediocrity incarnate
I would recommend anyone to try this game. A good game with great mod support makes it very re-playable.
A really good spreadsheet simulator about software. With in-depth mechanics that all work together and against each other, this game hits it home on so many levels. From being able to do nothing but operate as a datacenter, operate as a printer or manufacturer, or even the standard software company, this game genuinely does it all in its realm. With a decently active modding community, this game is really fun, especially if you have friends to play this with. 10/10, I recommend this to anyone who likes management or spreadsheet simulators. This game hits it home in all regards.
Im really bad at this game but i really like it still!
