Pocket Garage Tycoon

Pocket Garage Tycoon is a management sim where you run a small repair shop. Customers roll in with busted cars, you diagnose the problem, order parts, and fix them up. It's gentle, loop-based, and oddly relaxing.

The satisfaction comes from the slow build: a cramped single-bay garage turns into a tidy workshop with hired mechanics handling the grunt work. There's a light upgrade tree that keeps you setting little goals without ever stressing you out.

It does get repetitive if you binge it, which is true of most sims like this. But as a wind-down game for twenty minutes before bed, it fits perfectly. No timers nagging you to come back, which we appreciated.

What we liked
