Hey everyone hows it going? Today I’ll be bringing you my opinion of a little management sim/ builder called another brick in the mall.
This game throws you into the owner ship of a massive piece of land but do to restrictions you cant turn it into a residential land or industrial so this is where the tutorial takes you through the basics of turning this land into your own shoppers paradise no pun intended. The tutorial although good does leave out a few things you learn on your own so I’ll go over what you learn thanks to the tutorial.
Like any good builder game it tells you where in the menu you scroll to in order to find the things you need you start with building a very basic store where you divide it with a small wall so your store can have a storage for the supplies it will need to operate.
The game has gone through a few updates where new things were added you can tell from the tutorial as it has you build a small office and hire office workers so you can research you things to help expand your growing mall, yes I call it a mall cause honestly that’s basically what your doing lol. Now the tutorial shows you how to assign the storage unit to the store and how to place parking spots for a delivery unit as well as a recycling spot another feature they added was a time bar which tells you what events are approaching and how long before they arrive it also details what people will be looking for the most so you have time to add those to your stores which I think is an awesome addition so you can try and maximize profits.
Your not restricted to just the small store you have a massive plot of land so you can do whatever you want as long as you have the money to make it happen, the research tree is very extensive unlocking electronics and fast food as well as liquor and other stuff among the vast list and since this game is part management so you have to know and study the busy times since the game will make it a constant reminder to tell you how bad your doing and I say bad cause in all my save files I have never made the game happy I always always miss an opportunity somewhere and it’s tough very tough but a fun little sim and one I enjoy playing and watching my store succeed or fail since every choice i made was on me.
The game also task you with hiring and you do hire a lot trust me the best thing is figuring out how many workers you need and at what time you also can hire people based on there speed socialism and how tolerable they are which I find its key to having a successful store since you wanna make sure your workers are fast so the lines dont get to crazy as people will leave after enough time in line I’ve had that happen to me and trying to make changes is another big problem since you wont know how good or bad they are till the day goes by.
All in all another brick in the mall is a fun game letting you work your magic and building the mall of your dreams as you aim for profits and happy customers so they can come back for more enjoy everyone and have a great day.
