Video Game Big Ambitions Review
Big Ambitions (2023) is a role-playing game that simulates running a business. Like similar games, you make decisions about what, where and how to grow your business. Here though the scale is much bigger, so much so you can drive and walk around the city in which you are building a business. It's like Grand Theft Auto meets Sim City and stands out by the flexibility you have to interact with the world and build your empire.

Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Big Ambitions 5 months ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 7 weeks ago.

Big Ambitions is a role-playing game that simulates running a business. Like similar games, you make decisions about what, where and how to grow your business. Here though the scale is much bigger, so much so you can drive and walk around the city in which you are building a business. It's like Grand Theft Auto meets Sim City and stands out by the flexibility you have to interact with the world and build your empire.

You start with some finance from an uncle to buy an apartment and get your first job. From here you slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path. As you do you can own more property and go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture.

Play involves finding a location for your business, setting up and placing every element and then opening the doors to customers. Maybe you want to start a gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store or florist? You shape how it looks and developers. Is it a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions online?

As you progress, success means more decisions. A bigger business means HR Managers, Logistics and Purchasing Agents. YOu also need to find the space and desks to put them to work. You can check out any building in the world as a potential space for your business, then 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.
