Well, we tried. Great vibe, great systems. However, I cannot recommend the game in the state it is in. So rarely do I play a tycoon and just drop it altogether because of unpolish, but I will be doing that here. First and foremost, there is zero replayability in this game. The tutorial is not in your face, but is very present your playthroughs. This means that it will stick around for... well, I have 5 hours in the game and I'd say during hour 3 it started to cool down. Important note is that in this tutorial, everything is scripted. No, you cannot skip the tutorial, either

So any time you feel like starting over for a clean slate, tough luck because the gameplay loop will unfold the exact same way until you are about two years in or longer. Fun. You start with predetermined staff that you have no control over, and events will play out the same way each time. This includes events tied to these predetermined characters.

Moreover, the UI is not great. On the surface it looks presentable, but the problems arise with the features attached to it. It is quite inconvenient to execute simple tasks, like firing people. For instance, there is a button in the top right that gives you an overview of your staff. One might think that this overview would let you, y'know interact with them or something. Nope. Instead you have to find their assigned building and go from there.

There is also a plethora of bugs that exist. I am willing to overlook those, but the aforementioned problems I cannot. A tycoon with minimal replayability does not have a whole lot to offer.
