It also doesn’t autosave often enough, especially for how regularly it crashes. Sometimes it’s very slow to load or save. The info pop ups break so the picture doesn’t display and I can’t interact with them. I’ve had all my workers just stop part way through a job for no reason. Projects slow to a crawl as rather than use all the workstations everything gets queued onto one or two for some reason and I’ve had to go into it manually to move things around. Luckily nothing seems to have been damaged. I’ve had it crash numerous times, including hard locking my console twice whilst trying to overwrite a save. It’s more in the technical aspect where things go awry. There’s the odd pause every now and then but things run smoothly otherwise and the aesthetic of a model on top of a table with little figurine type characters doing the work is well realised. Moving through some of the menus isn’t as natural as using a mouse but it doesn’t take long to get used to it. Menus are opened through two radial menus on the triggers so getting access to that stuff is easy. The nature or the game means that putting the mouse pointer on the left stick works well with speed and accuracy not really being an issue. Unfortunately, as with a lot of ports of these types of games from PC things haven’t necessarily gone smoothly. They were interesting the first time but after that I felt they got in the way of what I was trying to achieve and luckily you can turn these off in the options menu (the serious business option) so you can concentrate on the business side of things such as utilizing services like .uk/. These can be gnomes infesting your land (like moles basically) and you need to place a machine to stun them and then click on them to get rid of them, or there may be spies in your workforce and you have to observe and identify them by their actions. There are also little mini-games that occur at times. It does impact the replayability a bit, but there’s a decent amount of game here if you intend to max out your factory, for a decent price. There aren’t different scenarios here like in Two Point Hospital, you have one factory to concentrate on in your attempt to become the most successful company, overtaking Nemesis Inc. The upgrades can be quite powerful so unlocking them is always something to work towards and look forward to.īalancing your expansion with your income is key as overspending too quickly can lead to a game over if you drop too far into the red. You’ll gain experience and skill points as you complete jobs allowing you to choose R&D upgrades that’ll let you get better machines, hire more skilled workers or get advantages like longer time limits on jobs or simply having to pay less rent or wages. Not only will you need the workstations but the workers to man them, some requiring specialists but you’ll need to hire more staff the larger your factory becomes regardless. Maybe you’ll need a sewing station to create a more comfy seat or perhaps certain elements will need to be made of metal. Depending on the quality you’re going for those parts will be made of different components, so each could be made of wood so you’ll need a workbench to cut wood in a straight line, maybe one to cut a curve, one to bend wood and so on. For example a chair will have a seat, a back and some legs. Each product it made up of components and each needs to be constructed using the right workstation. Producing goods is not as simple as selecting a product and then a bar fills until it’s done. You can accept jobs from others which will have a strict deadline but will also result in relationship growth that will benefit you with better paid jobs in the long run or you can keep an eye on the market and produce whatever you fancy to sell. These will just be the basics and you’ll be left to your own devices on how to grow your business. The tutorial will set you on the right track, teaching you how to buy different workstations, set up a break room and accept jobs. You’re put in charge of a new factory with nothing but a few empty rooms and a couple of workers to start out with. It’s a business sim, similar to the recent Two Point Hospital or even city builders if you’re into those. Not because of its quality, I just miss that series. Little Big Workshop has nothing to do with Little Big Planet or the excellent Little Big Adventure, unfortunately.
