Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon puts you in charge of a tiny airfield that grows into a sprawling hub. Laying out gates, staff, and shops in a way that actually flows takes some trial and error, and rebuilding a bad layout is half the fun.

The sim doesn't rush you, which suits it. You can leave it, come back, and pick up where your little airport left off. Watching passenger numbers climb because of a smart layout tweak is quietly rewarding.

It leans a bit repetitive in the mid-game, but there's enough to fiddle with that we kept opening it just to reshuffle things.

What we liked

• Deep layout planning
