Game has crazy potential. Ive always looked for a game just like this one. Lots of options of things to do. If the dev keeps updating and stays consistent this game could be huge.

In a Nutshell: While obviously unfinished and needs much more to beef out the actual gameplay, the gaming and visuals are enough to warrant the $20 for Early Access at this time. Once fully fleshed out, I believe this game will be well worth the full price of admission. Full Review After 13 Hours: The Bartending Career is the best imo, I've tried 3/4 of the careers and always return to that one. You'll make the most and it's the easiest to build to Max Level then buy into the Business and earn passive income. At this time there are no hobbies for our Denizens (arts, hacking, writing, gaming, etc) so you're pretty much just running around just earning money, spending money and earning more money. In the future I'd like to see more ways to spend free times. Remember that a place is always closer than it looks. There are shortcuts everywhere! It may seem easier to take the Taxi at first but it's wasteful and you'll never learn the map. Drive and learn where you are and where items on the map are. It'll be helpful, you travel A LOT! And do yourself a favor and make a list or something when you go for groceries, nobody helping you pick what you need and it's not worth the GAS MONEY to run back for a couple things, meanwhile every other ingredient is just taking up inventory space in your fridge. Watch your health, and if your car gets stuck, press "X!" Good Lord, watch your gas gauge... I haven't run out, but there's only 2 gas stations in the world and REALLY long roads you do NOT want to end up walking down. I am having a lot of fun with this, I'm growing a lot of oregano and using that to buy a nicer home. Herbs for the win, y'all! Looking forward to seeing what else is done with this game before launch. Looks beautiful and handles really well for the most part. Just needs more activities. The lack of options in character create might deter some people but there are other options once you get in game. new hair styles, new clothes, even cosmetic surgery. (Hint: if you're using a keyboard and mouse, I would suggest turning your driving sensitivity down. I have mine at 250 and it's perfect!)

I think this game will end up as an interesting mix of genres. When it first was released it seemed like The Sims killer (yes, another one), but it lacked the content and to be honest the characters weren't particularly an eye-candies (like Inzoi). But I started the game and found it quite catchy: you can earn money pretty fast, you can also drive fancy cars (that was my personal go-to for a bit of a chaos in my life). With next additions the story dived into some crime and I was like "wow, so now we are GTA". Again still not there (like with The Sims comparison) but something different, hence I stayed.... The next release and we are adding more content and life management options.... At this point I'm out of comparisons. I have no idea where this game is going, I'm hooked to see more, but I feel like this game will remain niche as it doesn't explore a particular genre at it's fullest... But what would I know?... Recommendation: for a person who might enjoy a bit of a chaos and weirdness in the game

Early Access is exactly what it states, early access. The base game already has so many avenues and a beautiful realistic (sometimes illegal) paths to choose and you can do as little to as much as you want. GENUINE Sandbox, your game, you're rules. A beautiful experience and I am excited to see what follows as every update is consistently game play based and It makes me so very excited! Allow me to break a couple thoughts down to you in regards to the updates. ~ ~ The following passage CHARACTERIZES DENIZEN ~ ~ Reviews are upset at the lack of monthly updates, however I disagree because every quarterly update is game play oriented opening up new career or business options, social options, rabbit-holes and all while maintaining the technical knowledge to follow up with the creative processes. Successfully managing the desires of the player-base and they're critique or attention span. Assets and content (cars/furniture/recreation/food/clothes/etc) Are also patched in with the updates but at a ratio I find very rare in all genres of gaming. ~ ~ The following passage does NOT CHARACTERIZE DENIZEN ~ ~ Video games follow a trend where they end up adding assets and collectibles in an effort to not only afford the cost of running the game (which is forever ya'll) Also due to the constant demand of monthly updates. This trend nearly always ends up ruining the games in the long run, in my opinion because they end up focusing on artwork (skins and rare items) or User Interface (Such as the HUD) instead or expanding on the game-play of the game, because it's time-efficient and cheap. Totally ruining the freshness and overall user experience over all. I hope this helps (: Happy Gaming!!
