I wish there was a mixed rating, instead of yes or no.
The game could be good with some extra work and patches and I do understand it launched about 2-3 hours ago and it's early access.
The UI likes to continually pop up over anything you might be doing, like trying to inspect someone's ID. After the tutorial bank burns down, the cleaner worker will only ever go and stand at the entrance and never move to your new bank - even after firing and hiring him.
I also expected to have to travel to a persons house when they failed to repay their loan, but no, I was magically teleported to a separate area, which was insanely bright. I hope in future, this is changed.

There are some interesting concepts that could be improved upon in future. The printing money and managing money in the safe and the cashier desks is better than having money just magically in your possession.

For now, I'll keep an eye on the game and see if it gets the love it needs to make it a good game, but right at it's current state, it sadly feels hollow. It has some bad translations in the text and all voices are AI generated.

Overall I had an enjoyable experience with the demo, the framerate was bearable, a few dips here and there, but then I don't run a high end machine, so to be expected in part.

The only thing I would love for the devs to change is the squat your character does when coming to a stop, from movement, it's really rather jarring and has made me feel a little motion sick. It's especially noticeable when filtering the dirt and side stepping, to collect all the goodies, since the movement required is small, yet the character seems to do a full squat for some reason.

Great trial, looking forward to the full release!

Major Order Complete: Defeat Sony.

Good game for the most part, but the amount of bugs with the game is piling up beyond comprehension at this point - please focus on bug fixing for the time being!

So, I got this the day it came out and I've completed it in about 19 hours (Well, not 100%, the only thing left are to get reputation to max. From level 6 onwards it's a real grind and a few achievements bugged out. Seriously, I have achievements for getting a bunch of tips, yet the basic "earn a tip" achievement hasn't completed? Same for several achievements).

- Fun gameplay
- There are enough tasks to do that you feel like you're always rushing
- Graphics are nice
- The minigames for the most part are fun and don't get too repetitive (except the bad physics in the checkout one. I've failed, because a customers item smashed another item off the belt, without me even touching it)
- Definitely a game where hours fly by and you haven't realised

- Bugs... There's a lot. The game has crashed a few times on me, just completely frozen and crashed to desktop without warning. Items you pick up get sucked through the floor, more often than not, buggy physics when at the cash register, employee mechanic always leaves the hood up after working on a car, employee working on refuelling cars leaves the hose attached to the car so the car drives off and the hose pings off as well as the refuelling sound playing constantly on the car filled by your employee, cars randomly crash and clog up the main road without assistance of the player, achievements are bugged, random parts of minigames just stop working as you play. - I lost the workshop overview saying how many parts need repairing and how many I had repaired after like the third car I fixed and it only came back after getting the level 5 unlock, I have the basketball court yet I have NEVER seen the UI elements displayed on the screenshots on the store. As I said, a lot, but most aren't really gamebreaking.
- I found it kind of short
- Very long load screen at the start, which is only really annoying if your game crashes
- Fuel truck blocks traffic leaving the parking area.

I've very much enjoyed the game and I'll probably go back to it in time. I look forward to seeing what else the devs have in store for content updates. I liked the tease of the car wash and thought I'd be able to operate it, sadly that's not the case - but one day, I hope!
I'd definitely recommend the game and as time goes on, the large list of bugs will probably be fixed and I'm hoping more content gets added at a later date.

I can't play the game for longer than 20 mins without bugs appearing and completely breaking the game.
-The game constantly pausing itself for no reason.
-Getting kicked back to main menu without warning.
-Reloading a game with a hero sleeping means they permanently stay in the house and you cannot get them back.

Abandoned by the dev, shame. I've owned it for a long time, just didn't play it previously as it was extremely barebones, now I cannot play it because of the sheer amount of game breaking bugs.
If the dev had any sense, he'd release the code for the community to fix it, since he's moved onto making a new game.

Fun game, difficult at times when you create your own team, but definitely recommended

great game

This is by far the ultimate "just 5 more minutes game". It's come a long way in its development and I've been following it since I saw a video before it went into early access. Sure, there's still quite a bit of work to be done, but it's given me hours and hours of entertainment already and I'm always delaying things I need to do IRL, just to fix up my defenses, or do just a little bit more scavenging.

Overall a pretty good game!

The quests can be reasonably short and enjoyable. More often than not they're actually about the animals, rather than "Make X amount of money" which is what I remember from Zoo Tycoon.

The graphics are nice and the colours are vibrant, however I believe it's not fully optimised as I've heard of people getting a few framerate issues and have experienced it myself with my steam overlay lagging a fair bit whilst running the game.

The UI can be a little clunky at times and not incredibly helpful, some examples are the fact that you can't sort lists of animals by species and when purchasing animals further down the list, sometimes the list will refresh, which takes you back to the top, having to scroll back down - this happens sometimes before you've even had chance to buy an animal!

So far, I've not come accross anything in the game that would make me unwilling to say that this is a good, solid game.
