What people are saying

The Real Review

Big Ambitions is a solid, if demanding, business sim where you build an empire from scratch in New York, and most players are digging the deep gameplay loop. The core management and progression hook people, though some find its learning curve punishing and criticize its technical performance. Complaints about the UI are common, and its Steam integration gets poor marks. On the plus side, the developers at Hovgaard Games are generally seen as responsive, and mods are a huge, well-received bonus for replayability.
