The exquisite corpse of a decade of yearly updates that is Train Simulator holds no surprises in that department either. OMSI: The Bus Simulator (2013) does what it says on the tin. They’re tasked with doing repetitive, complicated tasks that only a huge nerd would know before the traditional long-ass tutorial. In the early 2010s job simulation games generally involved a vehicle in which the player controlled a camera glued to the driver’s seat. Chum for the hoards of Twitch variety streamers who need a steady stream of “hidden gem” to play until the honeymoon phase wears off. Thanks to a handful of companies (most of which are located in Poland, for some reason) games-with-the-word-simulator have evolved from tiny games for hyperfocused nerds to genericized shovelware. An unfortunate side effect of this is getting to watch a rapid mutation of the simulation genre into something damn near unrecognizable outside of a few legacy series. Unsurprisingly, this has led me to sample quite a few games with “Simulator” in the title over the last twenty years. Games that involve building up and improving on an existing framework are my kryptonite. Hi, I’m a writer with ADHD and various undiagnosed neurodivergencies that would make you wholly unsurprised to learn I never grew out of childhood hyperfixations (trains, dinosaurs, Egyptology, etc.), I collected them. The oil “changing” minigame from Gas Station Simulator. To properly dissect Gas Station Sim, though, we have to establish some baseline understanding of the current state of the “ Simulator” genre. Welcome to a 4,300 word review of a $20 game you’ve barely hard of.
In those opening hours it’s better than the rank-and-file barely-functioning “ Simulator” games, but what points it earns with moxie it loses to unpolished jankiness and an insidious dark secret. The first few hours are a wild ride that seems to buck the trend of the asset-flip homogenous “simulator” game genre, only to fall to pieces as its flashy mechanics degrade into annoyances to be automated or outright ignored. Sure, sometimes you’re run ragged, you might suffer some frustrating setbacks, and it’s hard to find good help, but it manages to stay entertaining through its runtime.Twelve hours into DRAGO Entertainment’s newest release Gas Station Simulator I find myself at a crossroads.
While it helps get across the experience of running a highway petrol stop, it doesn’t feel like work. I had fun with Gas Station Simulator, mostly. While we believe that being able to micro-manage everything is central to making a good sim game, we also acknowledge that some players might not like it as much, we won’t force you into doing it and there will be options to be able to micromanage automatically.Buy stock at the right price so you can sell them at a markup to make a profit. Managing your stock becomes more important the bigger your gas station gets, remember that you can’t sell what you don’t have and you don’t want to run out of goods to sell, especially gas.you probably won’t be able to run all of these alone hire employees to man these, you still need to manage them though. Once settled in expanding your Business to accommodate more customers is in your best interest, get into other retail opportunities like stores, paid toilets, mechanic shops, and even further expand them.Your primary concern now is making sure your customers get what they want. The Gas station you bought is in a major state of disrepair, it looks like no one has used it in years, get rid of debris and old furniture lying around the property, repair the pace a little just don’t spend all your money right away.
It’s up to you on how you want to run your gas station, but before you spend all your money on new paint and decorations your still primarily a gas station, buy wholesale fuel, and man the pumps a customer could come any time soon. Gas Station Simulator as the title suggests is a simulation game where you buy and take over an old decrepit gas station located in the middle of nowhere, renovate it and restore it to its former glory, you can even expand it further by offering other services like toilets, stores, car mechanic shop, etc.
