This game is almost there, but it has too many rough edges and too many little things that annoy me for me to recommend it. The core gameplay loop of growing your business, making money, expanding, adding new features, then repeating feels quite satisfying, if not particularly engaging and incredibly repetitive. There's not really any flare to the design or any of the 'decisions' you make in game. All the different businesses are literally the same, only the names of your competitors change. It feels like there is a lot of waiting for things to happen, like this game should be run in the background. Also, there's absolutely no point in having a 24 hours clock in the game where your employees go home for the evening and there are several in-game hours of deadtime (which you can speed up at a lot, but not skip entirely) One real gripe is that hiring new people, which you will do a lot, is soooo boring. It feels like there should be a streamlined way to hire new people in a role up to a certain number, sit them at a desk, train them, and fit them out with a production list, but the game makes every step a multiple click process. However, if this was automated to any degree, the gam…

Sometimes, when I am having an existential crisis about work-life balance and the nature of keeping up a middle class lifestyle in a time of mass economic instability, I come back to my playthrough of this game to remind myself that all it takes is good planning, competent leadership, a vision, and occasional infusions of VC money to make magic happen for the many, not simply the few.

A poor execution of a game that could've been great. I tried to get into it, but you're essentially following how the devs wanted the game to be played, with tons of monotony, and no room for freedom.

I’m honestly not sure what everyone is talking about in these reviews or why people are saying this game is bad and “too hard” to understand. Yeah, it’s challenging, but that’s what makes it enjoyable. You actually have to work for what you want instead of having everything handed to you. I’m already really enjoying the game. And honestly, if you’re completely lost and don’t understand what’s going on, maybe try reading the instructions and using your brain for once. 😂

Концепт интересный, но реализация оставляет желать лучшего. Основной минус в однообразии геймплея из-за которого становится просто скучно играть, во всяком случае на начальном этапе, когда по сути приходится ждать когда нужные компоненты будут исследованы и просто добавить нужную функцию в приложение, в общем нудятина.
