The value story

It has never been cheaper than $15.40. That was March 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 29 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Supermarket Simulator ($11.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Storage Hustle ($11.99, scores 18).

Players rate it 92 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 84 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 37 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2025 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 773 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

I thought I will be managing my business empire, but so far I am doing night shift deliveries sleeping on the benches and eating trash to be able to afford installing toilet in my small convenient store that gives me -50$ profit per day (before taxes). So far so good 11/10 deliveries done.

When I heard 'New York business management simulator in the 3rd person', my curiosity got the better of me and I wasn't disappointed. In the early game, your rich uncle acts as the tutorial and you find yourself running around supplying your small shop in New York with whatever you've chosen to sell. You can design the colour scheme and layout of your shop in pretty granular detail. You can even drive around the...
