Sticky Business Game Review

Hello everyone, it is time to review – Sticky Business.

Now, when I first saw the trailer for this game, I was thrilled.

As a business owner myself for my own creative works, there was a sense of joy and glee that someone made a game about my day to day life.

Let’s hop into the game, and I’ll tell you if this is worth the play or not.

PROS

Sticky business throws you into the action with the option of a tutorial. I definitely suggest you start with it. Besides the cute aesthetic of the game, the sticker designs themselves are adorable! The interface and gameplay is very simple, as I was playing on a controller keep in mind. And the game itself offers a relaxing tone with time management as you have so much time in a day to complete orders, go to the post office, and of course, create more stickers. That, along with the charming customers and their messages, this definitely keeps up the attention span. Plus, the customers are very easy to cater to, with no pressure to design complex stickers. If you just want to start selling pride flags, which is awesome inclusion, you can totally base your shop around that. Also, if you decide to make room in your shop without buying more space for it, you can totally delete stickers as well that may not be moving in your inventory.

CONS

As I mentioned in the pros, this game will keep your attention span – but, and I say this as someone with ADHD, your mileage may vary. I remember in the trailer that there was a possibility of getting reviews, even bad reviews, from customers. But I didn’t get any of that.

Granted, I only played 20 in-game days, but I can’t say for sure that if the review feature is not available or you have to reach a certain point to unlock it. Reviews were not mentioned in the tutorial. Now, I could be mistaken. Maybe this game is meant for people to just sit and relax without the real life complaints they may face in retail. I TOTALLY understand that. Another con that I’ve found has been that the music never changes in the game. It’s fine if you just want something mind-numbing, but it begins to feel like elevator music after awhile, or a tone to wait for a call center when being put on hold.

CONCLUSION

I purchased this game for $10 USD when it was first released in 2023. Is it worth $10? I would say so. As you guys know, I don’t give stars or number ratings, because that can get confusing, but I will say that this game is worth the playtime and is well suited as a game to relax to. As of July 2025, this game goes for $5 USD on the Nintendo Switch and Steam, so you can definitely give it a try for a steep discount.

Some caveats:

I probably didn’t get any negative feedback because I never had a late or failed order.

Filling orders for my own business has kind of ingrained in me this paranoia of having horrible customer service. With that being said, Sticky Business is worth the play and will definitely put a smile on your face.

UPDATE: Hi, so…when I originally wrote this article, it was only twenty in-game days had passed. I am now currently at seventy-seven days and I’ve only had one failed order and I still didn’t get any reviews/words/in-game angry customer. So, it really is a chill business game without the repercussions of failing to do your work. Still, it gives me plenty of anxiety to not do the work assigned to me for that day.
