Little Big Workshop, in general terms, is a great management game and it offers very well optimized version on consoles, with very well applied concepts and a simplicity in controls that makes it very friendly for any type of player.

Management sim fans will find Little Big Workshop to be an enjoyable game to wind down with. Its adorable aesthetics and rewarding progression systems make for a wonderful time and there are a lot of clever intricacies to discover as you expand your business.

Little Big Workshop is a decent workshop simulation game and fans of this genre would enjoy it. However, I feel it could have done with a lot more hand-holding through the game for beginners. There are a lot of tools and tweaks that could be implemented to increase the efficiency of your workshop but with such a brief tutorial a lot of these will be missed and it will cause you to struggle.

Unlike many other management sims, Little Big Workshop asks for only a moderate amount of investment from the player. Rather than burden users with numbers and graphs, it tries to keep things as simple as possible. That sense of calm is assisted by the cute and colorful graphics, complemented by a soothing acoustic soundtrack to tie everything together. The end result is a relaxing game that is easy to spend lots of time with, and Little Big Workshop is a lovely title for sim fans looking for a break or consumers who want a more casual, relaxing title to sink hours into.

Little Big Workshop on Xbox One is fun, first and foremost, and if a patch is released that fixes the issues in place I would definitely recommend picking it up. But until then, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter progress-halting bugs then you will most likely be forced to restart. And it doesn’t matter who you are, losing all of your progress to glitches isn’t fun.
