10 of the BEST Cozy Management Sims
One of my favourite genres of games is a good management simulation, where you can build, expand and level up to earn more income and grow businesses or societies. It may not sound relaxing to some, but “spinning plates” in these types of games is an exciting way to game, and I love an oppurtunity to improve, and make bigger and better! If you’re the same as me, you’re going to love these 10 management sims, from running pastry cafes, to building your own japenese street, to managing your own Dinosaur Park!
