Supermarket Chaos

¡Muy recomendado si vienes de jugar a títulos anteriores! Sin lugar a dudas, para mí es el GOTY de 2026 y de lo mejorcito en simuladores que ha salido este año.

So satisfying, can be really casual or stressful depending on how you play. You can take your time and casually search for items or if youre like me, you can frantically try and find items you need to fill one specific shelf as quickly as possible. 10/10

This is clearly a copy of the recently released 'Librarian: Tidy up the Arcane Library' game, which got some traction and was actually a lot of fun. This game, however, just doesn't hit the same way as 'Librarian'. Is it bad? Not particularly, but it is also not good. A true recommendation, yes or no, is hard to give. This deserves a "maybe?" with a questioning attitude towards the fun factor of this game What made the Librarian game good and fun? For me, that game was colourful for one, it was easy on the eyes. The books had funny names, nice covers and even if the mess seems overwhelming at the start, you get used to it quickly. The pacing and feeling of fulfilment after finishing shelves, earning points and slowly seeing the library come to a neatly room, is what kept me tied to that game. ChaosMarket or Supermarket Chaos (It has two names on Steam) doesn't have any of this. The sorting part can be fun, but only if you really like sorting and don't care about how the game looks and feels. The supermarket area feels bland at its best. The products are generic items found in many store simulators, the music is calming and nice, but it doesn't entice me to stay in game to complete the sorting process. Your skills are incremental, which is fine, but gathering the money to upgrade feels tedious. The game really lacks colour. Yes, it has colour in it, it is not all grey, but it feels very greyish. The environment is almost sterile, the lighting is harsh, there is no dynamic in the environment at all. Besides that, the products all have a washed colour palette, when looking at a pile, it all blends into each other. There is no distinctive difference, besides the shapes, to actually find items you're looking for. I really dislike the gambling aspect in the game, it doesn't fit in the way it is implemented. The "ATM" machines in the corner give the possibility to get perks that can help you with your sorting endeavour. But it is not guaranteed that you actually get a perk after spending your slowly earned stars. I am not even sure if you can get all perks in a playthrough, especially if there is always a change to get a dud, even with the best ATM in the store. Earning money feels very slow and tedious. You need money to upgrade your skills. Each item you put away, gives you a 0.1$, upgrades cost several $ making it a slow process to gather enough to the next update. Some are truly expensive compared to the money you get for items. Everything needs to be upgraded, this includes running, and maybe jumping (I haven't seen that skill yet). Your carry capacity too, starting off with a limit of 5 items feels very low. Just as in the Librarian game, you have skills that help you out, like the one that lets you see where the items are by highlighting them. However, the purple outline is not always clearly visible, many times, shelves obstruct the outline or it blends into the piles of items. All this is basically a copy of the Librarian game. Organizing the shelves can be cumbersome too. If you're like me, and you want to make it look neat, you're in for some work and constant reshelving. The game doesn't tell you how many items from a specific item there are. Lets look at the alcoholic beverages, some need two spots and others need three or one. If you think you got all the bottles of a product, changes are, you'll find another one. Making you reorganize the shelves again.. In the screenshots, you'll see neatly stacked shelves too. This doesn't go for everything. Just like many shop simulators some products will have weird spacing on the shelves. For example, the cleaning products, a spot for cleaning bottles holds two, the spot next to it too, but in-between there is clearly room for another row of those bottles. If they are the same product, it would be nice to see them line up, just as stores work. I already know that I won't play the other levels, especially the upcoming one that shows a +9999 item count. The first level is already to tedious and uninviting to me. It looks like the developer thought to grab the success of games like Supermarket simulator and Librarian and put them together. The idea is not bad and I think it can be fun, but the game needs to be more inviting. If the bland character of the game can be changed, if the items feel like new and entertaining, not the generic assets they are now, and if the progression through the game can be scaled up, just a bit, it would actually be more fun to play. If you just like sorting through piles of items, all the above probably doesn't apply to you as much as it does to me. In any case, I have to put it to a "not recommended" just because it just doesn't scrape the minimal threshold for a fun game. It needs to be less bland and dull.

was a fun game to zone out to

this is very fun and satisfying
