Games in the genre of business simulation (economic strategy) are varied enough that you can find a game for every taste: from historical business simulations to building modern cities, from building hospitals or cafes to building your own video game company.

This genre has long been known on the PC. There are several ports on the console, but their quality leaves much to be desired. Interestingly, on mobile, games are the most innovative, and keep the genre on the decline.

Here is the final ten of our top ten best business simulators!

10 Sim City

5. Cities in Motion

Cities in Motion is the most serious game on our list. The gameplay consists in building transport networks in the largest cities of the world - Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and London. Many other cities have been added in later DLCs.

4 Theme Hospital

The game was developed by Bullfrog Productions, known for its game Theme Park. And if Theme Park was no longer the most serious game, then Theme Hospital Overall, it's just fun and funny. This is not surprising: in the late 1990s, the British media were ready to criticize the game for their view on such serious problems. So instead of treating real serious illnesses, in Theme Hospital, patients get sick with funny, fictional illnesses, so the game is not to be faulted.

3. Theme Park

By the way, about the game theme park. This is one of the very first tycoons that laid the foundations of the genre. In the mid-1990s, the tycoon genre was still in its infancy. Theme Park was one of the biggest tycoons. Unfortunately, the franchise did not last long. 2 not very high-quality sequels followed, after which gamers switched to Rollercoaster Tycoon.

2 Prison Architect

Although the game has not been officially released yet, new game from Introversion Softworks, announced as "the world's first prison simulator" looks very interesting. The main focus is on making the game fun and interesting, as opposed to a lot of games that try to show a serious prison theme in dark colors.

1 Rollercoaster Tycoon

Everyone loves roller coasters. Rollercoasters are the best fun. Rollercoaster Tycoon started as a more serious version of Theme Park, which later became a huge franchise, with two sequels, a spin-off and many DLC packs.

Noteworthy:

Cities: Skyline

Although the game was not developed by EA Maxis, most players and fans of the tycoon genre consider it a worthy successor to the Sim City series, especially given the fact that, unlike Sim City 2013, there is no need for a permanent Internet connection. Cities: Skyline contains everything players want from a good city building simulator, including the ability to create mods.

Holy Potatoes! A weapon shop?!

Tycoon is a rather eccentric genre. computer games. Some projects have been ported to consoles, but they can be called nothing more than "passing". Interestingly, the genre is developing most actively on mobile platforms, which boast the most innovative developments. That is why now the tycoon genre, which has been losing its popularity for several years, is starting to revive and win the hearts of gamers again.

With all that said, if you really want to enjoy the classic Zoo Tycoon series gameplay and additional expansions, then be sure to check out the Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection, which was released in 2017 for Xbox One and PC. The collection includes the first two games in the series, several expansion packs, new animals, and 4K HDR support.

The main feature is the smallest study of all the details of the zoo. In Planet Zoo, each individual has an individual character - you can observe the behavior of your animals, what they do within the walls of the zoo and what kind of offspring they have. It is noteworthy that animals can be returned to the wild.

Planet Zoo scores highly (averaging 8-9 out of 10), and gamers leave rave reviews on .
