    A charming watery theme park management game where fish are friends, not food. Until they eat each other or you forget to feed them.

    Megaquarium is an fantastic tycoon title with a surprising amount of depth. With far more fish, crabs, sponges, and spiny blowfish than I could have expected, it goes further than the usual “set it and forget it” model that most tycoon titles use. The team continues to hammer away at improvements, so here’s hoping that they can iron out the last few UI and tasking issues to make this one truly great.

    As a tycoon game, Megaquarium strikes a very nice balance between having too much complexity vs. not having enough depth to remain entertaining. While micromanagement is not required, you do still have a lot of decision making to do. Fortunately, no in-depth knowledge of fish is required.

    It’s a tricky balance to master, relaxing but complex, yet Megaquarium manages to do it while making it look effortless. It’s a breezy, upbeat management game that nonetheless gives you lots to play with and plenty of room for experimentation. Plus, the fish are all cuties.

    It has about 100 different choices of fish and other sea creatures that you must build homes for and set up their filtration and types of food they need.
    Building your aquarium was incredibly simple and fun, the controls and camera movement while building was very intuitive and I wish other tycoon games were this easy to navigate and build as this is is. Campaign mode is fun but sandbox really lets your imagination run wild and you can really build a decent sized aquarium, especially if you want to have every creature in the game.

    My only gripes about the game were taken care of in a recent patch so honestly, the only thing I would like to see are more types of animals, especially freshwater species!

    I highly recommend this game for people who enjoy tycoon type games and even for those who enjoy Fishkeeping.    … Full Review »

    Got the game because I can't get real fish, so a digital one would be nice, and it turned out to be very nice indeed.
