    Big Pharma provides you with this unique simulation, and while it may sound strange to act as a large pharmaceutical company at first, once you get past the lengthy and complicated learning curve that is discovered via playing through the tutorials, there is a great management simulator to play here.

    Big Pharma is an entertaining title, which will make us spend several hours thinking about the best way to improve a product, how we fit it into the space we have available and how we manage to be the most profitable company.

    With mixing ingredients, laying down machines and belts and money management Big Pharma certainly keeps you busy. However, when you get to a point where you are short some cash, you will be left to wait until you earn more money – and this means a lot of waiting. This isn’t helped by already slow gameplay and the meticulous amount of attention to detail needed, leading to easily made but hard to rectify mistakes. In the end, the time invested rarely feels worth the reward.

    While the idea of Big Pharma is interesting, and could have the potential to engage some players in many hours of gameplay, the implementation causes this to be not enjoyable. Text that is so small that it is hard to read, alongside with information disappearing and reappearing, are somewhat annoying, so much so that some may decide to give up before even exploring the title's full potential. That along with confusing tutorial instructions, make for a disappointing gameplay overall.

    Big Pharma is a game that you building a pharmacy that you can understand from the name.
    But not like any other tycoon games if you don't pay    Big Pharma is a game that you building a pharmacy that you can understand from the name.
    But not like any other tycoon games if you don't pay attention while you playing you can
    get lost in details instantly for me I had to start the game over and over again to get
    things right . Mostly people looking and searching fun in games but tycoon kind of games are
    different mostly best for people who loves play and work at the same time cause you can pause
    the game or you can just let your pharmacy work since you only building things up and
    not controlling any character in the game.    … Expand
