Virtonomics - business simulation gameReviews of virtonomics.com

Играю с перерывами уже около 12 лет. Первое, что хочется сказать – игра хардкорная. Для успешной игры требуется хорошее понимание игровых процессов. На это уходит от пары недель (при наличии хорошего наставника) до полугода. Я начинал 3 раза. Первый не разобрался толком. Второй – уже был на коне, играл без доната. Сейчас третий – с умеренным донатом. Что реально не нравится – отстутствие штатной автоматизации рутинных действий. Приходится использовать кучу сторонних скриптов, благо запрета на это нет. Геймплей построен на «синдроме плюшкина» и очень затягивает. Старые игроки обычно рано или поздно возвращаются даже через годы. Играть реально и совсем без доната (не верьте, кто утверждает обратное), при этом можно иметь все то, что имеют и донатеры. Но развитие будет существенно медленней. Общая оценка – 4 из 5. минус 1 балл за рутину. И да, стоимость игрового очка завышена, раза в четыре, как по мне.

Some people write here something about subscription or so. Yes, there is a realm with subscription but most of realms are free of charge. I have started playing this game around 12 years ago. Just imagine this number - 12 years. And I still play it not because I am addicted to it or anything but because the community gathered there is amazing. Some people have their business, some are developers and write different scripts to improve their satisfaction of the game and so on. 12 years I am building my Financial Empire there. Yes, I have donated some cash into the game but it was mostly not to get some extra bonuses or whatever, rather to support developers and administration. You can easily talk to developers, the way. They are open and always ready to talk to anyone. However, the feedback from administration to the players leaves much to be desired. Players always give different recommendation how to improve user experience in the game buuut... Well... the administration obviously has another point of view on a game development strategy. Unfortunately, the game was much simplified to make it understandable and easy to play for "housewives". No matter my points above - I still recommend this game. Give it a try. If you'll like it - you can stay. If you won't - leave it. But please keep it in mind that it is a step-by-step strategy, which means that at the beginning you need only 10-15 minutes per day to play, while later on you'll have to either spend 3-4 hours (when your empire is big enough) or use scripts (most of needed ones already developed by the community, used widely and shared on the forum of Virtonomics). Have fun! Makroclimat

It would be better if we could convert our investments into real money.

Good game- need to include more activities and interaction with players

I enjoy the game, but a bit expensive to buy some division

This game outlines limitless business opportunity, yet points out that one cannot excel at everything, choices must be made, business requires management and skill-sets. It's a sobering challenge! One can condemn excess profit-taking by others, then face the same opportunity. Your skill-set, your mind-set, challenged.

One of the best business simulation games available. Complex production chain, which is great. You can work retail, manufacturing or services. Regular realms run one turn a day, so your life doesn't have to revolve around the game if you don't want to. But even so, there are plenty of stuff to do and data to analyze for your life to revolve around the game if you want to. Cons: needs more active players; free to play is rather limited (but still feasible and fun if you're not hoping to be number one on rankings); could receive more care/attention from the devs/admins (forum has year old spam and special deal is months old).

This is a great business simulator to play when you want to have a basic taste of growing a business itself. The community could be a lot more active and engaging but nonetheless it's still a good game to play. And its real time so you play it whenever you want and it'll keep running in the background. Now, i do hope they add more features into the game and make the game a little more advanced in terms of deep diving into the specifics of building a business. Also, this game does get to the point where the only way to build a huge business is to pay for it. So, it can be very pay to play like.
