I thought I will be managing my business empire, but so far I am doing night shift deliveries sleeping on the benches and eating trash to be able to afford installing toilet in my small convenient store that gives me -50$ profit per day (before taxes). So far so good 11/10 deliveries done.

Enjoying so far. First job as a delivery driver cost me more in damages than the wage. Day 3 I lost my car, parked it somewhere now can't find it. Next stop, World Domination.

The game is very addictive; the urge to generate huge amounts of cash hooked me for a long time. However, once you're past creating your own factories, it becomes repetitive fast. At some point I was spending 80% of my time negotiating wages to far below the minimum (most of my cleaning staff was paid $4-6 / hour), and the other 20% was spent sleeping to make time go by fast. Making $2.000.000+/day, and since all the other stuff was automated, nothing else seemed to be worthwhile. The game has huge potential, and the fact it already had me playing over 100 hours while I found some parts repetitive shows that. If I had to make a suggestion to make it better, it would be this: Right now, once you've built and automated to your heart's content, the game loses its appeal fast. You could spend more time trying to beat rivals, but the mechanics for that are very shallow: you buy their businesses or the buildings they hired for their businesses, and that's how you defeat them. Some of those buildings are very expensive though, so you're forced into the grind, which, as I said, is very repetitive after a while. At worse, rivals will try to attack you by lowering prices for goods you sell, but once you generate a decent revenue, it's hardly even noticeable. If anything got me hooked, it was generating huge amounts of cash so I could beat the rivals. Flesh that out as much as possible: diplomacy, stealing influential staff, partnerships, ... and go further with it in other domains as well: limit deliveries on resource shipping contracts, so you need to compete with the rivals to get it. Give meaning to expensive cars and boats, making your business standing go up, which in turn lets you close better deals on all sorts of contracts ... Paying your staff worse than the competition, or offering less benefits, etc, should make it harder for you to find good staff. HQ staff should be competed for too; create limited exceptional staff, which, if you want them and to hurt your rivals, you'll need to steal from your rivals. Give headhunters with good skills the ability to discover a rival negotiating with one of your exceptional staff, and ways to prevent that staff from switching sides. The exceptional staff could give a strong bonus to your overall business: exceptional HR managers reduce the amount of complaints from staff by x%, exceptional logistics managers lower all costs of their warehouse or factory by x%, etc. Anyway, great game, it has huge potential, I'm looking forward to the next updates.

I decided to pick up this game after watching a few minutes of Insym's stream. There is so much depth to this sim without becoming tedious. Small interactions that I've noticed while playing really add to the feeling of a real city. You can also play at your own pace and do your own thing which is really nice. The tutorial isn't pushy and lets you choose when you're ready to move on to the next kind of business. You can add your own images for store signs if you want to, heavily customize the look of your shops, and be as relaxed or min-max as you want without feeling overburdened. There's a lot of content and I've barely scratched the surface despite playing for 30 hours. The game is very polished and doesn't feel early access at all. I haven't experienced any bugs or crashes, and it seems to be very performant overall. I'm very excited for content to come, especially when they expand the mod workshop beyond store blueprints. My only complaint is that you can't have a pet (that I know of), so hopefully the game keeps expanding with additions like that. Music - 10/10 Performance - 9/10 (Rare tiny stutters) Gameplay - 9.5/10 (Keep wishing for more types of businesses) Graphics - 8/10 (I want more built-in sign options) Ambitions - Big

This game shows exactly why parking tickets only affect poor and mid class people. At the beginning you try very hard not to get that $125 ticket. Later, after you earn some cash you just park wherever you want and do not care. 10/10 realism
