News Tower: Build Your Journalism Empire with Mafia Intrigue
In News Tower, players are immersed in the 1930s newspaper business, blending management sim elements with Mafia complications. The game allows you to hire journalists, assign stories, and compete against rival papers, creating a rich gameplay loop. The introduction of a perception system lets you choose your paper's editorial voice, impacting sales and reader engagement. However, the mechanics can feel overwhelming, with numerous systems vying for attention. While the competition mechanics add depth, they may also lead to frustration for less strategic players. The faction system introduces additional narrative layers, but details remain sparse. Overall, News Tower shows promise, yet its execution will determine if it rises above the competitive sim landscape. For a more in-depth look, check out PC Gamer.
