Little Big Workshop (2019)

Little Big Workshop is a charming simulation game that puts you in charge of your very own miniature factory. Beginning with a small workshop, you'll strategically manage your factory floor, hire and train workers, purchase and upgrade machinery, and design efficient production lines to fulfill diverse client orders. The game offers an open-ended sandbox experience, allowing you to experiment with different materials, production methods, and layouts as you manufacture over 50 unique products, from simple rubber ducks to complex drones and electric guitars. This title earns its place among HandyGames' best due to its addictive gameplay loop and creative freedom. The game emphasizes practical problem-solving, tasking you with optimizing production flow rather than complex economic models. The whimsical art style, coupled with the satisfying progression of expanding your factory and managing your diligent (and occasionally overworked) workers, creates a genuinely engaging and rewarding experience that makes it a standout in the simulation genre.
