News Tower

It's fun enough, but the way expenses scale is kind of insane. Profitablity becomes almost impossible at some point.

News Tower sieht auf den ersten Blick sehr einfach aus.. ist es aber definitiv nicht. Das Spiel ist sehr komplex überfordert jedoch nicht. Das Tutorial ist gut gelungen es beinhaltet alle Grundlagen, welche man benötigt, weiteres findet man schnell selbst heraus. Einzig die Traits der Mitarbeiter könnten stellenweise etwas besser beschrieben sein. Ich finde es ein sehr gelungenes und abwechslungsreiches Spiel, bei dem definitiv nicht so schnell Langeweile aufkommt.

Es un buen juego de gestión de recursos, con un tono similar al Project Highrise, pero en mi opinión mucho más legible. Tiene las mecánicas del periódico además que son interesantes y el bucle de juego es muy entretenido.

I’ve played longer than the stats show. This is truly a great game that has kept me interested for many Mondays—my usual gaming day. It’s not necessarily the kind of game you play for hours and hours, day after day. Instead, it’s perfect to pick up from time to time and print a few newspapers. The strong side of the game is its very addictive core loop. You print newspapers, unlock new features, expand across the map, and gain more subscribers. Everything contributes to building a larger newspaper empire. A good game always balances achievement with resistance, and this one hits the right pace for me. Progress comes steadily enough to keep things interesting. Since the game focuses on producing a single thing—the newspaper—it has to do that well, and it does. There are enough engaging mechanics along the way, such as shaping public perception and completing smaller tasks connected to the territories you want to take over. The main weakness may also be part of its strength: the loop is so central that I find myself taking breaks between sessions (usually playing weekly) to keep it fresh. I also sometimes struggled to keep track of all my reporters and the many half-finished reporting trails. There is a small notification when one case in a chain is completed, but it’s easy to miss. These are fairly minor issues, though. As of spring 2026 the game is still actively supported, with developers continuing to add content, so some of these things may well be improved over time. A DLC could help expand the content further and prolong the overall playtime. There might also be ways to reduce the sense of repetition that can build up from week to week.Another possibility would be new types of reporting and editorial mechanics. Investigative journalism could involve longer story chains, hidden leads, whistleblowers, or risks of backlash from powerful groups. Cultural reporting, war correspondence, or financial journalism could each introduce new mechanics and influence different parts of society. The game could also deepen the internal management of the newspaper itself. More developed newsroom systems— rival newspapers reacting to your stories, or editorial debates over the tone of coverage—could add layers without breaking the core loop. This would keep the central mechanic of producing newspapers intact while giving players more meaningful decisions.

I had a hard time to catched up with the phase because the text and button is too small on Steam Deck.

This game is awesome but my god it sucks starting out, until everyone in your first initial 3 floors is properly leveled up you just shovel out poop newspaper articles that make no money. had to take a loan eventually

I like it so far. The music and animations are tight and the gameplay is interesting enough. I do wish it was a little more freeform. I restarted several times trying to get a good Crime/Politics paper going and was skipping all the other topics not realizing that wasn't going to work out. That being said I see the appeal for people that want more goals and direction. I didn't get too far in, so I can't really speak to the late game, but it's a solid play for at least a few hours.

很好的遊戲，個人很喜歡配樂和主題，遊戲內容上可能會有重複。
