We first skipped the tutorial and were met with instant regret, soon before closing the game and starting the tutorial – like responsible adults. SimAirport, however, prefers to throw you in at the deep end with no direction whatsoever. In many games of this kind, you are led by the hand in the early stages of the game. Not only will finishing these objectives give your bank balance a boost, but they will also encourage the airlines to give you more business in the future. Different airlines offer their own incentives that can be met by completing X, Y, and Z. Once these basic customer needs are met, you are free to go forth and set up your airlines. These, of course, include cafes, toilets, and amusement arcades (in that very important order). When you first arrive at your new airport, you need to first make sure your customers have all of the basic amenities: a place to eat, a place to carry out bodily functions, and a means to stave off boredom. It’s needless to say that this comes with its very own set of complications and calls for a keen eye for detail. If you hadn’t yet guessed, your job in AirportSim is to run an airport. Hidden beneath the veneer of poor-quality graphics, however, is a deep and complex simulation game. While these graphics won’t be a real issue for geriatrics like myself, many younger gamers will shun the title based on their early impressions. Instead of spending a little more time and money on improving the aesthetics of the game, it seems as though the developers, LVGameDev LLC, have chosen the quickest and cheapest option by releasing a title graphically reminiscent of what was seen on our Amigas 500s, back in the day. Having only released in 2017 (March 6) on Steam, it would be fair to say that they could have done more to appeal to today’s modern gamer. Those that don’t appreciate the plain and simple graphics that games of yore deliver, likely won’t appreciate the graphical styling – or lack thereof – that SimAirport brings to the table. We won’t be too hasty and say it’s without its flaws, but all the same, it’s still a dependable game – if you like airports and simulators, of course. Every once in a while a simulation game is released that brings a nostalgic charm along with an enjoyable playing experience SimAirport is one of these.
