Tavern Master

This game is SO fun in the first 4 to 5 hours for someone who likes management games like me, HOWEVER the biggest thing that makes me not recommend this is the LATE game that is actually the middle game in which you just are in a constant grind of watching double speed people. there is "late game content" but its not actually really useful or good and overall doesn't even improve your game play experience, it felt like SUCH a good foundation but the mid to late game is a constant unending show of double speed day after double speed day, doing the adventurer thing for more items and rinse and repeat. and I committed myself to only doing all the events in order as well so it was even more annoying frustrating. not to mention the late stage tables and chairs i dont love the textures of and feels like a down grade somehow for my eyes... I love grindy games normally i have played 20 hours of a game about organizing a library TWICE and loved every second of it. but this? It's and i say this with sadness cause I was having so much fun at the start. not something id recommend playing. its as if they used the sunk cost fallacy when making it.

An interesting but ultimately in, my opinion, badly designed game. The creating Pub/tavern is fun but way too many features are locked. And some mechanics seem to be introduced later in the game then when needed (like toilets for some reason). Its supposed to be a somewhat relaxing and fun game. But after a while can feel very boring and monotomous. But most importantly too much things are locked. I may come back to it in the future but so glad i spent £2 on it. Its hard to recommend.

This game feels soulless and fails to capture what running a medieval tavern should feel like. Instead of immersive tavern management, you have videogame-y abstractions like a tech tree where you 'research' things like 'more guests per day'. Most of the time you just sit and do nothing, occasionally clicking on things and wishing for a faster speed setting. While the game is rather polished, it's too sterile and boring. It looks like a cozy tavern sim at a glance, but it's actually a bland idle clicker with medieval window dressing.

Less than 8 hours of game play and money seems to become worthless as you are making too much of a profit each day. Its just a waiting game to unlock all the research and tasks. I ended up making the 4th level have 50 research desks just to fast track the research. Good to fill in a few hours when the game was on sale, only paid $4 for the game, but theres no way this game is worth the full price.

Tavern Master is a fun little time killer with a simple but addictive pub management loop. I enjoyed it setting up the tavern, serving customers, and watching things grow is oddly satisfying. It does feel unfinished and pretty bare-bones, and after a while it doesn’t offer much depth. Great for killing spare time, but definitely doesn’t justify a full €15 price tag in its current state. [h1] Fun and chill, but too simple for the price 6/10. [/h1]

[h2]Tavern Master:[/h2] I'm not downvoting the game, I had fun because I like tavern management type of games, I also enjoyed the music feasts of the past being my favourite. I'm disappointed by the use of AI not being mentioned on the store page, It goes against my core value of not using anything related to AI, In a world where AI is forced upon us, I would've liked having the choice of knowing before buying the game. I was going to buy Blacksmith Master but since Tavern Master uses AI I guess this is the same for Blacksmith Master so I won't buy it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1525700/discussions/0/3202622271471235436/

-Feels like a mobile game (for better & worse) -Not a lot of deep gameplay -But it runs well, works well, haven't found any bugs -Most of what you do is watch things unfold and fix at the end of day -Enjoyable, but manage your expectations -I got it on a deep sale, so I'll recommend it on that premise

Um perfeito simulador de dono de taverna, com bastante personalidade e com uma gama bem alta de recursos para explorar, seja sendo um dono de restaurante, um grande hotel ou uma equilibrada mistura dos dois, porém tenho algumas ressalvas. Como um relaxante simulador de gerenciamento de recursos, eu diria que o jogo é um 9/10. Você pode montar seu estabelecimento e jogar por horas de forma bastante imersiva. Agora, como um jogador que gosta de ir atrás de conquistas e alcançar objetivos em um jogo, eu daria um 8/10. O jogo em si tem metas bem divertidas de se fazer, mas a maioria se torna rapidamente maçante pela falta de variedade. Por exemplo, uma das conquistas principais, a “Hard Worker”, consistia em completar diversas missões até conseguir 800 pontos, mas, além do fato de você só ter 4 missões por dia (dia dentro do jogo), essas missões davam cerca de 3 a 4 pontos por missão. A maior reclamação, porém, é que de forma extremamente rápida as missões se tornaram repetitivas, como “faça um dia de sopa”, “faça um evento”, “promova um funcionário”, e quando acabavam, começavam de novo. Isso se tornou meio repetitivo e sinto que essa redundância poderia ter sido substituída por outros conteúdos que deixariam a gameplay mais estimulante. Fora que as recompensas dadas por alcançar certos marcos, principalmente as que envolviam personalização como paredes e pisos, você só ganha no final, quando o jogo já “acabou” praticamente. Fora isso, é de verdade um excelente jogo. Foi realmente um dinheiro bem gasto e eu com certeza daria uma chance para outros cenários do mesmo tipo, como gerenciar um próprio castelo ou coisas do tipo. 10/10 pela ideia, recomendo fortemente.
