TVGSDespite it being a stacked March for games, one new hidden gem has risen up, proving to be the game fans of GTA, Ark, and Satisfactory will adore.
There’s no denying that management sims aren’t enjoyable. Whether you’re into the more intense farming simulators, the colorful but slightly complicated games like Satisfactory or the lighter management adventures like Ark and Rust, Schedule 1 will be a blast.
Either way, there’s something that shines in creating automation, watching the money rise, and bossing other employees about as they make money for you. Combine that with GTA-style gameplay, and you’ve got a great hidden gem that’s likely to not stay hidden for long.
Schedule 1 combines management sim with drug dealing
Placing players in the shoes of an up-and-coming drug dealer (yes, you read that right), Schedule 1 instructs players to sell drugs to customers, increase their empire, and slowly defeat cartel members, all while evading the law by any means necessary.
TVGSOf course, this game is still a management sim at heart, despite its subject matter, meaning you’ll be able to automate your production, sell the best products, hire employees, and even boss them around with your Management Clipboard.
Interestingly, Schedule 1 has only just been released, coming out on March 24. However, despite the fact that it’s certainly still a hidden gem, it’s quickly garnered plenty of support on Steam. Over 62,000 concurrent players have been diving into their drug-dealing adventure, and it’s already peaked at 116,408 players, occasionally topping the likes of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
On top of this, it’s received thousands of overwhelmingly positive reviews, with many adoring the side quests, casino, easy-to-understand gameplay, and undeniably catchy style.
You can drive around, purchase weapons, take out the Cartel, go to the casino, recruit a team, make the best product possible, and of course, craft alternate strands of drugs. Oh, and you can play Pong on the game’s TVs.
