Box Office Sim

I love this game and have been playing for a while now! This game needs 2 things to make better and get that 5 star; 1) Have contracts for its actors so I don’t have to worry about replacing the actors every 2 movies in the series. This would make it so much easier to cast for movies and continue the series. 2) I would also like to see a change in how popular the movie is along with the inflow of money from it. An example will be the series I have in the game right now. It is currently and action-adventure movie series and it has an average profit of 1.4 billion. It has taken me 7 movies to make the popularity 80 and the money is staying the same. I would like to see the popularity of movies grow faster like they do in the real world. Looking at the hunger games movies; after the 2nd movie it was making huge money and popularity was super high. I’m just saying I would like to see some movie series jump up in popularity early on!

This overall is a really fun game. I can be playing for what feels like five minutes but is really two hours. It took a little while to grasp and a couple of tries to make a successful company, but after that it was fairly easy. I do however have a few suggestions that I think would make the game run a bit more smoothly. One is that I think it would be great if you could scroll through actors, writers, etc., while hiring so you can compare their stats without having to back out and tap each one repetitively. Also, I think you get to a point where marketing wise, you just want to buy everything, so it would be great if there was a ‘purchase all’ button so you don’t have to select each one individually for each movie. Now the following suggestions are less important I suppose, but still some ideas that I have that down the line would make fun new features: training for actors directors and actors to raise stats (further referred to as ‘employees’ for simplicity), hiring employees so that they will only work for your company, more characters per movie?, a feature where you could design your own employees, tv shows, owning and operating movie theaters, achievements (different from awards) Like I said in the beginning, this is already a great game with a great foundation that I enjoy playing in its current state, but I’m excited to see it grow and get even better. Also one big thing is that it’s a nice balance of ads, where your still watching them, but not being bombarded, which is often what happens for a lot of games.

Box Office Sim is one of the top sim games on the market. The game is complex enough to make it very interesting and hard to instantly master but at the same time not too overwhelming. I’ve seen some people complain there’s not enough instruction but I personally don’t get it as their is a info button present for each tab explaining what’s going on. The only problem with the game is the bugs. People are supposed to have ages in this game but from what I’ve seen, everyone stays at age 46. Another problem is that as the years progress, basically every movie is considered a blockbuster which means that no movies are eligible for the independent film awards. The worse bug of all is that the save file can get corrupted which basically ruined the entire game for me as I was on year 9 and my backup save was from year 1. Unfortunately until they can fix the save error bug, I can’t really play it.
