Smooth Operators 2

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] 7/10: It took over ten hours to figure out the [i]Hard Mode[/i] difficulty curve, and after I built a sustainable business model, I hit an impasse due to an employee getting stuck in a room, but the developers are great people and are staying on top of bugs. (Often resolving bugs within twenty-four hours of being notified.) If [i]Smooth Operators 2[/i] is an improvement over it's predecessor, I'd hate to see how bad the tutorial was in the original game! GIVE US *REAL* SAVES!! [h1]Overview[/h1] Think [i]Project Highrise[/i] but with much more humor, much less boredom, and the player running a call center that contracts with outside businesses. The game infers that the call center later on in the game can become it's own business, but ol' Il Pallino isn't anywhere near that point in the game! Calls can be incoming or outgoing, and there's also [i]Backroom Office[/i] which are bureaucrats that handle paperwork. Eventually the player will have to hire office managers working in [i]Human Resources[/i], [Project Managers[/i], and [i]Business Developers[/i] so that they can support support the work of call center employees. (While costing money and making no money for t…

Game is good, but then all of a sudden, you won't be able to click on anything and it stays that way permanently, even if you exit and come back. The only way to play again is to start a new game and hope it won't happen again, but....it does, so don't buy it. I think the dev also gave up on this game 2 years ago.

Game is pretty fun, but just bit tedious to interface with. Needs work, has bug system that spams the game. Only was able to solve through reinstall - seems discord has been dead since May '23

I hope this is a work-in-progress... The overall game design is pretty good... However... I have constant issues with clicking buttons and the game not quite registering (see the mouse cursor click indication, but it doesn't take)... I also have ongoing issues with large groups of employees leaving, without being notified, looked and suddenly half my staff is gone...??? I have spent days, trying to watch the load on restrooms/cafe's, there should be a report that would tell me usage/cue, so I don't have to sit there and watch... same with "transport" for additional options: I would like to have it auto hire, to maintain filled seats when I assign a job role to position. I would like to have it auto schedule to distribute staff (sub divided by job title). I would like to have it allow setting a room to a specific job title (ie Inbound). I would like to be able to set thresholds for auto answering requests... I'm sure there are things I just don't know yet, for optimizing the play to proceed, but... i think some of the glitches and lack of game play optimization is hindering me. I have had to quit in annoyance a couple times because things just don't seem to be working correctly...…

Game breaking bug that was never patched. Menus don't open and you can't adjust speed of game.

played almost 2 hours and I must say it is not fun for me - similar concept games aka sim tower games are more fun than this for me.
