News Tower

It starts out as a lot of fun, but mid and late game is rather grindy. It lacks something to strive for, something to say, yes thats my newspaper, my accomplishment. The competition isn't really a competition merely a static placeholder, so it is just a matter of time. Still there is so much to like about this game, enough to recommend it to people that like to start a newspaper company.

Great game over all, the management of the news paper is fun and the difficulty and complexity of the game increase in a good balance with increasing skill. The only bigger point of critique I have is the visualization of the revenue versus expenses, I think that could be displayed with more clarity within the weekly recap. Overall great game, lots of fun and new challenges!

[h2]News Tower is everything I'm looking for in a management game![/h2] I have finished my first playthrough just a while ago, and I will definitely be back for more! (I've also started other management games since then, but nothing compares to this.) While other games in the genre also very often touch on it, News Tower requires [b]constant[/b] strategic thinking, all the way from choosing and matching your goals for the week, through choosing which news items to accept and implement, to managing your resources for expanding your tower, equipment, and workforce. You aren't just managing this place, you are also the HR agent, accountant, project manager - and truly the boss of the comapny. As I have told others: [i]this game actually teaches you to run a business.[/i] I greatly appreciate a game that isn't just fun, but the skills that we develop while playing it can also translate and be useful in real life (especially for those working in the field). Awesome stuff!
