Early Access Review
Really great game with huge potential. Played it with 5 friends and the only hiccup was the in-game voice not working properly at first, but it solved itself after a while. Host being in Sweden, playing with three people from Australia, one from the UK and two from the US, and no lag or major de-syncs.

Really excited to see where the developer takes this game, as it had some really funny moments for us. Will be playing it again :)

Sound issue was that we could not hear eachother in game, with the voice chat. All of a sudden it started working from nowhere, and we really don't know what we did to "fix" it. Also, the voice volume was very, very loud when people joining :)

I will update this review when I can play the game. And this is not a complain review, I genuinely want to play the game. I play tons of simulators/management games. I tried finding an email/contact form for the devs, but could not. So I hope you read this review :)

Yesterday I was planning on streaming Ad Agency Simulator, so in the morning I was setting it up in OBS. Changing to game capture and so on. The first thing I noticed when starting the game was that my computer fans where spinning like crazy, probably due to the uncapped FPS in the main menu. That's not uncommon tho, a lot of games have that "issue". I was watching a stream at the same time, and it just became silent, my computer started to feel slow and laggy, but I did not think about it. So after setting the game up in OBS and shutting the game down the issue still persisted. My fans were still spinning really fast, sound not working and my computer felt "weird".

I proceeded to restart my computer, because you know, technology is like this sometimes. Later in the afternoon I started my stream and after just 5 minutes while talking to chat, my microphone stopped working, my Spotify started lagging. (The music kept repeating the last second over and over).

OBS kept loosing frames, tons of frames. I tried force closing the game and noticed that my GoXLR software had locked up as well, and OBS. After like 30 seconds it seemed to be working again, so I started the game again, and it got worse. Fans going crazy, sound once again stopped working, OBS freezing and computer being extremely slow.

I force closed everything, restarted my computer and played another game, which worked fine btw. But I do think there might be an issue with my computer and Ad Agency Simulator. So I will have to wait until it gets updated to try again, and I am super excited about playing it :)

I do not know why this happened, maybe it was the uncapped FPS, maybe a memory leak, maybe something else. But this is the first time something like this happened with a game for me. And oh, I did try opening the game again this morning just to check, and the same things happened. So it is the game causing it.

One of the best games I have ever played. The story, the immersion, the graphics, the sound and music. Top notch!

I found myself in a roller coaster of emotions playing Bramble, but wow, I loved it so much!

Very cozy and nice game with great potential. I had really fun building, landscaping, decorating etc for the 3 hours I played. Will play it more!

Sure, some bugs here and there, but that is early access for you. Some really hilarious bugs tho. But I really want to see where this game goes. Did not get a chance to test och the multiplayer (no friends...), but it seems like a great addition to this genre.

If you can stand some bugs and optimization issues, go for it. There are TONS of building pieces and you can spend hours building your own house from scratch, with or without friends.

Pretty neat game. Looks nice and all. It will give you a couple of hours of gameplay, but I feel there's something missing. There's no real reward for expanding and progressing. If you set up a small farm with cheese and goat milk early on, you are pretty much set and can basically AFK and see the money come in. Upgrades is done through research with low cost but ingame time, so no challenge there. It feels a little bit unbalanced in time between factories and fields, and if you want to keep factories going you have to buy from the market.

I wish there were more upgrades, more variety and more depth to the game. Don't get me wrong tho, I like the game. But after almost 8 hours in free play, it feels I'm done. Hopefully we'll see some updates to the game in the next few weeks/months.

I also finished the Campaign in about 10 hours. It was fun, somewhat challenging at times. But most of all a lot of waiting. Still enjoyed it.

I do recommend the game, because I've enjoyed playing it. Experienced very few bugs, and the game looks really nice. I really hope for customizable buildings, color schemes, different looks etc. I think that would be nice.

Very relaxing game that I play for about 20-30 minutes now and then when I need to clear my head.

I've played around in Meor for about 40 minutes, and even tho it is early in development I must say I'm loving it. It flows really great, the art style is amazing and the creative possibilities in this game are endless. Can't wait to see where this game will take us :)

This is just the game I've been waiting for. I really enjoy everything about it.
Sure, there are some bugs needed to be fixed, maybe some tweaks to the leveling system and such, and added content, but I'm 100% sure the dev will fix it and make this game even better.
