Man...I really can't tolerate this game so much, I just hard hit Alt + F4 out of it. It's just filled with so much RNG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game isn't even remotely fun. What a horribly designed and thought out game overall, it has really dropped my faith in the developer for future games (which I will now also remove from my wishlist so I don't even remotely convince myself to buy another product from this developer for now).

Trust me, you might think like I did that this is an awesome little simplified race team manager game, but it's more of a "let's make your life miserable with 9 out of 10 different ways to entirely rely on RNG for everything in this game, that no matter what you really do you'll always get shafted somehow." Random driver crashes even if they are the best, some BS randomized variable tuning system even if you get the best engineer and crew chief, the races are hardly interactive really...this is the part where "watching paint dry is probably more exciting" comes to mind.

It's just all bad, really bad, nothing fun to this game, I really tried to find the fun in it but it's just not there at all. I was trying to complete the achievements for it but it's just become too intolerable, and the developer is probably not going to do much more with this game since they have yet another game they are hyping people up about already.

By the way, to the developer, how are you not even going to have controller support for a game like this yet, and even your default keyboard and mouse support hardly has enough key bindings to fully interact by keyboard only if you wanted to, as mundane and repetitive as the game may be.

Awesome little game, casual, relaxing, just take your time and figure out the puzzles kind of game. One of the few games that exist today that actually make you think a bit. Don't pass up playing this game, the developer did a great job with it, I enjoyed it!

Yeah, played the free weekend and yikes I'm glad I saved my money doing that...

This game has issues just in the menu that were so bad I didn't even actually make it through them to play, and actually race. It's sad when you're a developer and "release" a product like this; should've immediately stopped the release or even pulled it from being available.

Big 2.0 update? More like 0.2 Beta update, it would be ideal if people could boot this game up without knowing the name of it and then ask them if they think the game is pre-release or not.

Yeah...um, oof. I can't get behind this game at its current state. It's rough and not because the developer wants to make it challenging but because it has a lot of issues, a lot of fragmented stuff, and things that need to be fixed with more urgency.

Here's a to-do list so far for the developers:

• Your AI is superhuman, fix that, they teleport in and out of doorways faster than a player can react. I've seen it happen to other players and it's happened to me
  
• Update your tutorial, are you serious? You are still telling people they can snap necks and from internet research I had to find out it's been removed after trying for like 10 minutes to do it? Items on tables don't match what is shown in videos any longer too
  
• Fix the menu to remove tasks, because your little X icon to evidently remove a chosen task from the list does not let you remove it, only reset works
  
• Fix your janky visual glitches especially with important things like AMMUNITION, where checking chambers or loading magazines might sometimes not visually show what you're expecting as a player
  
• Your ration system needs a lower cooldown all around, too often new players are left broke with everything else you still have to fix in the game that they unexpectedly die to...

Good thing this game was part of a bundle and I have seven other VR games to play over this one that are more polished.

Don't recommend this one.
A good amount of model glitches going on, both of gameplay and of textures and visuals.
Combat gameplay is chunky and locks you into animations all the time, leading to frustrating deaths.
The (RS) inspection mode to be used on enemies is clunky too, they want you to pinpoint locations on enemies as you use the thumbstick to move it around but it always forcibly locks you into a spot on the enemy, just more frustration and time wasted when using this mechanic too.
AI for both friendly and enemy is pretty bad and also clunky.
Game feels incomplete to be honest, it feels like the ideas are there but they just weren't 100% finished across the board.
Didn't pay attention to story.

Unfortunately, this game looks better to watch others play it than to play it yourself, and even then you'll quickly notice with as much progress as you can make in the current state of this game, it's never truly satisfying or you never get to that point where things can be automated fully if anything.

I think this game would've been better off released as early access (as annoying as it is to say that nowadays, but since we know it's the excuse for unfinished games), as this clearly feels like an unfinished game.

This is less of a cash cleaner simulator and more of a "micromanage this mess" simulator. Like I said, you never get to a truly satisfying point in the game where you can fully automate everything they ask you to do in this game, there's just literally "equipment" missing for your character that you quickly notice would be ideal to have. A lot of extra and unnecessary things are available to your character to purchase with the in-game currency as you progress, and small things like lining up the spit out of your unqualified currency will quickly get annoying.

Also, LOVE the fact that the game has random events as you progress that blow up and literally ruin your setups with debris that despawns anyway. Genius idea, developer. Why create chaos for an already frustrating situation?

Just read some of the patches since the release of the game and you'll quickly notice the obvious content missing so far (ie. Yen sorting machine which was added post-release, but the currency released with the full game). With everything missing they uncapped the maximum player level, and for what? There's nothing else to unlock...nothing to improve once you're about 10 hours in, player level becomes irrelevant quickly, just like the satisfaction of playing this game.

Some thought starters for the developer:
Why do currency sorters seem to weigh like 2 oz. in this game and everything including your own character movement punts them around like nothing?
That's the ending for deciding to blow up the piggy bank, really? That is a BAD ending
You stopped at sorting three currencies in one machine at a time, yet have three country currencies and about 12 denominations in the game?
You can't have mission deliveries just drop calmly into the player area, things have to fly everywhere as if they don't weigh with what they contain inside?
The workbench is useless, why include it? You expect people to sit for hours cleaning ink off of bills one at a time? Maybe if things could eventually be fully automated that would help...

Seriously, if you want to be forced to micromanage things in a frustrating manner, this game is for you. Otherwise, there are better simulators out there, come back to this one in a year or two, maybe.

One of the best simulators of this type of content that's existed in the last 15 years. Buy this, it's a great game, the art style fits great, it's naturally funny with the way everything is put together. Very accurate to the process of building up the business etc. Not personal experience, they just have you manage a lot and it's way more detailed than most other games that just have you grow and sell illegal substances. I'll keep an eye on it for future updates and do plan to come back to it.

Nah, I'm over this game, the developers have made it their life mission to create this game as a frustration-filled challenging game, instead of creating a fun-challenging game like many others of this kind. Spare yourself the frustration and tons of hours of grind with hardly any progress. Oh, and you'll love when you spend 30+ and even 40+ minutes in a "dive" just to die to some ridiculous enemy damage scaling that goes on in this game. When you die in this game you hardly make any progress in hard buffs because as you get to the tail end of them it's just another thing you have to run around looking for and risk your character's life, literally, to ALSO mine for and collect while trying to survive.

Deep Rock Galactic is fun, but this one has just been update after update of more content but the same frustration. Like I said, plenty of other games of this genre that are more worth it right now over this one.

Can't recommend this game at all. I don't think it has enough attention and the fact that they've released paid DLC and bundles for this game in the condition that it's in says a lot about the priorities here on behalf of the developers. I first gave this game a shot months ago, joined the developer's Discord and gave them a bunch of feedback that they asked me to send directly. Hardly any of the glaring things I've given feedback on have been fixed or addressed.

The worst part is the horrible attempt at Spanish in the game, it's so bad it hurts to witness the more you progress. Even the small parts of the game that have voice acting (which is already bad), and then in Spanish is worse, sometimes what they say doesn't even match the on-screen text. Poor effort all around.

While there are some things I would've liked to be able to change while playing this game so far (and I do plan to complete it for achievements and more), in the end I absolutely recommend it. It's a game that is well thought out with unique ways of staying interactive and engaged while you play it.

This is especially a must have game for the Steam Deck, it just works!

Pros:

• Lots to do
  
• Unique gameplay
  
• Running a sushi restaurant!

Cons:

• Why is the restaurant pet a cat and no other options (dog, monkey, parrot, etc.)? Not everyone likes cats...
  
• More control mapping flexibility would be nice, can't say I am a fan of the aiming system
  
• There are a lot of moments in the game where you can't pause it, and it's annoying when having to step away
