✦ AI summary

Players find the game repetitive and shallow with excessive clicking and grinding mechanics that often require autoclickers to play.

Introducing Migrant Simulator 2018™ - The Quest for the Magic Soil. The amount of clicking to constantly buy food is rediculous. Using a autoclicking script becomes a necessity for sanity. Very repetitive and shallow gameplay. Whether you succeed or fail is largely up to random chance.

for $7 the game isn't worth it. Very repetitive. I do not think their are multiple scenarios like most of the time. I was so hopeful for this game.
