Sticky Business

The Good
The visual style and the audio is very cozy. There are a lot of fun design opportunities with the prerendered graphics that you collage together. Personally, I appreciate the inclusion of various identity flags, though I didn't use them a lot for my sticker designs.

I think for what the game has, it does very well, including the design tool, the printing setup, and the packaging. The packaging is especially satisfying to me, where I can mix and match types of paper with the customers' orders. My least favourite part of the game is setting up sticker sheets for printing, but this not an obstacle.

The drag-and-drop features generally feel pretty good, as they are used for most of the game. Sometimes the sticker hitboxes (to grab) feel a bit weird, but it's not that offensive.

The Bad
When I play business simulator games, I like to feel a bit of tension. It's not what this game is going for, but it's something I miss. I made some mistakes while playing, but didn't feel any particular penalties.

The customer-based stories are short and lack substance, but feel somewhat suitable for the atmosphere the game's going for. The customers will also request various types of designs, which is not a challenge at all – for the most part, I already had designs that featured what they requested, which was a bit of a let-down.

The Bottom Line
I feel like I got my money's worth, so if you're looking for a cozy and unchallenging game, this might do the trick. It's a cute and laidback sticker experience, that allows you to make fun products from prerendered graphics and have customers overshare their lives with you. If you're looking for a more in-depth business simulator with a bit of a challenge, this might scratch that itch.
