Software Inc. is one of those games that looks simple at first, but it has a surprising amount of depth. Starting with a small office and slowly growing into a successful software company feels really rewarding. I enjoyed designing my office, hiring employees, managing projects, and trying to stay ahead of the competition. There is a bit of a learning curve, and it can feel overwhelming when you're just starting, but once you understand how everything works it becomes incredibly addictive. If you like management and business simulation games, this one is definitely worth playing.
Muito realista na parte de gerenciamento, o que a primeira vista parece bom, mas na pratica parece mais uma obrigação
A ideia do jogo é muito legal, mas o jogo peca em uma coisa que atrapalha muito no desenvolvimento da empresa do jogador. É na disponibilidade de tarefa para a empresa, o jogo não deixa o player escolher 100% do rumo da trajetória da empresa, é o jogo que toma essa decisão. UM exemplo, se o player monta um time de suporte e contrata uma recepcionista, só aparece contratados nada a vê com o que o player planejou e falo isso porque é o que têm me atrapalhado muito. Eu montei uma equipe de suporte para manter as contas da empresa fechada e poder produzir um conteúdo que eu queria, mas só aparece contratos ou de manufatura ou impressão e tudo isso é muito caro para quem está começando uma empresa, até porque você quem gastar com mais luz, segurança, pagar entregador e ainda corre o risco de perder tudo para o fogo ou para os bandidos que as vezes os seguranças bugados não pegam. Eu fali duas vezes só porque o ambiente que eu construí, pegou fogo, os negócios de apagar o fogo não adiantaram e perdi 3 milhões que eu iria usar para manter a empresa e desenvolver algo. Acredito eu, que todo mundo busca construir a sua empresa e jogar em paz aqui e até agora não consegui desenvolver nada, porque quando tudo tá indo bem, ou é fogo ou é bandido que rouba na cara do segurança. E não adianta comprar câmera que só vai aumentar o custo da luz. Então a dica que eu dou, melhorem o sistema de segurança, e melhorem os sistemas de contrato proporcionando aquilo que a empresa têm e não fazendo a gente construir coisas que a gente não quer para empresa. Por exemplo, se o player têm um time de suporte, que apareça contratos de suporte, até porque ninguém vai em uma empresa de pet shop comprar papel higiênico para si mesmo. Sobre a segurança, uma ideia que é bom, é colocar alarmes, ai quando eles arrombam as portas, o alarme toca. Seria bom também que quando o segurança pega eles, eles devolvam aquilo que roubaram.
I love this game
It is good if you like biz
Absolutely AMAZING game. Completely taken, it's so addicting. I'll keep it short, but it's one of the best if not the best company management game to have released. You HAVE to try it.

gud
Muy buen juego pero muy poco intuitivo, sin hablar de que solo algunas cosas están en Español. En el tema de las tareas o lo que tienes que hacer la neta no se le entiende nada, los tutoriales no son lo suficientemente buenos, yo tuve que ver varios videos en Youtube para poder entenderle mas o menos, si mejoran esa parte, sin duda sería mi juego favorito. Lo bueno del juego es su capacidad para tenerte enganchada y el grado de complejidad que a muchos juegos de simulación les falta. Sin duda es un juego muy infravalorado. 8/10
bom
