Many PC owners want these kind of games on their PCs, and JoWood is simply satisfying demand. The Swiss company is continuing its efforts, thanks to the help of devco Enlight Software, with the release of Hotel Giant. Although the game kind of speaks for itself, there are, nevertheless, several things you should know about Hotel Giant, because it's not as transparent as you might think. There are many subtleties crucial to a successful game of Hotel Giant that generally go unnoticed and can make the game far more challenging. As you might have guessed, the basic premise of Hotel Giant is to expand a local B&B joint into a vast chain of quality hotels without going bankrupt. Your management skills will be dragged through the hedges in Hotel Giant. You are charged with making all of the decisions, no matter how minor, and every alteration you make to your strategy will have a noticeable outcome in the long term, if not immediately. What's hard to accomplish is improving one aspect of your leisure empire without hindering another. For example, cheap restaurant prices will always go down well with the customers, but it'll leave you with less cash in your pocket. Free to chose from a selection of building shapes, locations, decor and furniture, and with fully customisable guest rooms, bars, gyms, pool halls and libraries, Hotel Giant will keep you going for a lifetime. No game will ever be played the same - that's guaranteed.
