Academia: School Simulator
Critic Reviews for Academia: School Simulator
It's time to go back to class! With Academia: School Simulator, you build, design, and manage your own chain of schools. From the layout to the crest, to uniforms and services, you will be in charge of it all. This game is super fun and reminiscent of Prison Architect, but for schools. If you're looking for a laid back simulation game, this may just be it.
The game also served as a gateway to thinking and reading about the education process and its modern institutions. Academia features plenty of exaggerations and abstractions, required to make the gameplay palatable and the overall experience fun. But it also illuminates issues, like limited resources, that exist in the real world. It took Squeaky Wheel a long time to deliver this gem of a game and I'm already curious to see what element of reality they plan to turn into a management simulation in their next title.
Overall though, Squeaky Wheel Studio Inc have done a great job for even a newbie like me to have enjoyed my time with Academia: School Simulator. With loads of options and easy ways to put them into place, who knew building a school could both be easy and fun while also being the biggest nightmare that I’ve ever imposed upon other living beings?
Ultimately, Academia School Simulator reminds me a little of my own time at school. It could be really fun, but at the end of the day, no one really cared about the students.
If you have never truly been a devotee of mogul simulation games or could do without the reason of running your school Academia: School Simulator may not be for you.
