Pizza Express

I’ve never been one for sim games, so the fact that this is on my list [for top 10 games of 2015] should mean something right away. Also, in full disclosure, I’m a pretty passionate guy when it comes to pizza. I even named my in-game pizzeria after one of the best places I’ve ever had a slice. The game does a nice job of introducing elements at a good clip. It never feels overwhelming, yet there is always a sense of urgency to improve on everything you currently have control over. The actual ‘makin’ pizzas’ part of the game is enjoyable stressful. Maybe it’s the story that makes this a different experience compared to other sim games I’ve tried. It’s bright, a little funny, and a lot endearing. There isn’t much too it, but that feels perfect as the actual management aspects get quite deep. Would I have loved this game as much if it was Hamburger Express? That’s hard to say, but I can say that this game pairs perfectly with a can of pop and your favourite slice.
