I did not expect this to be an 100+ hour game, just to get the achievements. After finally getting all of them it was borderline euphoric to hit the uninstall button. This game ran my life for the better part of a month and I've never been so aggressively hooked on something. I struggle with a lot of the larger games within this genre, such as Planet Zoo, because although I love the graphics there's a lot going on and I find it a bit overwhelming to look at. Megaquarium has basic graphics, an easy to use interface, and overall just a flatter vantage/viewpoint, which worked perfectly for me. The animals look derpy af and I love that about them. I purchased the base game for $9 which was at least 40 hours of content and well worth it. The DLC adds a lot of complexity, especially if you're planning to go for all the achievements. Prestige grinding can be infuriating, but once you've got a system down and properly monitor the guest comments you'll be okay. One piece of litter hidden among the masses in a high traffic area has the absolute potential to tank your aquarium reputation. Even if you don't want to fork out the money for the DLC packs, the base game/campaign is solid.

I grew up with Zoo Tycoon and Sim theme park. It's hard to replicate that exact feeling in recent simulation games but this game does it. I didn't know anything about fish but decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. This is probably my favorite sim game since Banished.

I used to work extensively with fish of all types for over a decade and this is probably the first aquarium/management sim that has gotten the Vibes right. I loved opening up a fish info panel and seeing "does not like conspecifics" in the tags- that's how I knew this was going to be a good time. I love playing "fish sudoku"- trying to time when fish grow in tanks with their tank mates to make sure they don't eat them/aren't eaten themselves along with any additional requirements like if they don't like food competitors or if they're wimps/bullies. Really nice attention to detail, I definitely didn't binge 13 hours at once on my first day playing, nope, no sir.

Such a fun game in the old style of tycoon games. I hope that the same devs come out with a zoo game in the future because I think they'd really hit it out of the park like with this one. 10/10

I haven't played a lot of tycoon games but I have some familiarity with them. Megaquarium is the type that focuses more on designing and building your aquarium more than managing the economy. Figuring out how to maximize the variety of fish and get the most views from guests is the main focus. The game didn't look that impressive graphically but it's much prettier than I thought. There are plenty of ways to make your aquarium look nice and the fish are very colorful and have cute animations. There is only one music track and it gets very repetitive. This game could use more music. I tried both DLCs and they're fun. Each one comes with a campaign and there are new mechanics. The breeding mechanic with Freshwater Frenzy is pretty interesting and you can breed a whole bunch of different types for certain species of fish. I haven't completed the Abyssal DLC yet but so far I like it. The main game also has a campaign and it does a good job of teaching you the mechanics. I really love scuba diving and visiting aquariums to look at cool sea creatures, so this game is great fun for me.
