I'm completely hooked on this open world business sandbox sim, and I'm not alone

pcgamer.com:

I'm a successful businessman in the financial capital of the world, New York City. You can tell just by looking at me, because I'm wearing a suit and a tie. Also, I'm running down the middle of the street pushing a hand cart stacked with 300 frozen hamburgers the day after I spent 48 hours sleeping on a park bench. That's what successful businessmen like Mark Cuban do, right?

Which is to say my entrance to the Manhattan retail management scene has been a bit of a scramble. In business sandbox sim Big Ambitions(opens in new tab), you arrive in New York City with little but the clothes on your back and a simple dream: to have a successful uncle give you an apartment, a used car, and a $15,000 loan to start a business empire. But even with my uncle's help, there's a lot to do in Big Ambitions. A helluva lot. 

This is an extremely hands-on sim, by which I mean to make anything happen you really have to roll up your sleeves and get to work. After renting my first retail space, a gift shop I name ChrisCo Gifts, I have to go out and buy things to fill it with. 

That's a physical activity. I have to get into my car, drive to a wholesaler and then to an appliance shop, and actually do the shopping: walking through the aisles and selecting sales counters, storage shelves, cash registers, furniture, cleaning supplies, and everything else a store could need, then wheeling all those big boxes to the checkout aisle with a cart. Then I have to pay for the stuff (waiting in line if there are other customers), and then load everything to the car, drive back to my store, and unpack and place it all. I even need to buy shopping bags for my customers to carry out their purchases with, and when we run out, I have to restock them.

This is all
