Its pretty nice and long. Its not too hard and not too stale, just a bit slow. But i have two major problems, that really killed my mood. First the radio signal, In the glasses for bob you had at least a little clue of where to get it, but that you seperately have to use the antenna was really making me angry. Also the thing with the AI core. All the time you had to interact with things to complete them, but only here you have to manually grab it and drag it to the core base. This really made me angry about the game and i dont know if i will buy the DLCs after that. Like i said the game and the story was pretty nice, but these two moments really totally annoyed me.

Mr. Prepper is a side-scrolling survival, crafting, and base-building game set in a dystopian police state. The premise is straightforward: you want to escape, but the secretive government won't let you. To regain your freedom, you must secretly excavate a multi-level underground bunker beneath your house, craft an escape vehicle, and maintain the illusion of a model citizen every time the Inspector comes knocking. Fact: Unlike the bleak moral choices in This War of Mine, your main headache here isn't psychological trauma - it's panicking to cover up your underground hatch with a rug right as the government inspector rings the front doorbell! The Short Answer: Is It Worth Buying? Yes, though catching it on a Steam sale is ideal. If you enjoyed This War of Mine for its shelter management and side-scrolling survival perspective, this title delivers a similar core layout with easier, more enjoyable base progression. Playtime 5/10 It takes roughly 25–30 hours to clear the story and complete your escape setup. Story 4/10 Trapped in an authoritarian country, you build a secret underground bunker and prepare a radical escape plan right under the nose of government agents. Music 4/10 Fairly sparse and repetitive - after about 5 hours, the soundtrack starts wearing pretty thin. Graphics 3/10 Standard mid-to-late 2015s 2.5D visual presentation. Mechanics 5/10 The gameplay loop starts out quite monotonous; the first 10 hours essentially play like a grueling carpenter simulator before true expansion kicks in. Designing and expanding your underground shelter feels genuinely rewarding, though base development hits a hard wall near the end game. Combat and shooting mechanics feel clunky and unpolished. Technical issues are a major annoyance: the game is prone to random freezes and crashes. Losing an entire day's worth of meticulous progress due to a crash (which happened to me 3 times) is incredibly frustrating. While DLCs (such as Animal Farm or Project Uranium) aren't mandatory, they add nice narrative bits and stretch out the progression loop. Overall, compared to games like This War of Mine, Mr. Prepper trades heavy moral dilemmas for simpler, much more satisfying shelter building and resource management. Personal Take A solid survival-crafting management game once you push past the initial slow burn. The constant tension of juggling base building, foraging, and keeping up appearances for the Inspector keeps the routine interesting. It suffers from end-game stagnation, mediocre combat, and aggravating crashes, but the core bunker-building loop remains a fun, lower-stress alternative to darker survival sims. Overall Score: 72/100

While the game can be a bit of a slog in the beginning, Mr Prepper offers a lot that provides a very entertaining experience. While I did not play the base vanilla version on its own, the DLC helps make your bunker almost entirely self sustaining. My only remaining hopes for the future DLCs (what few there still are) would be the ability to bring trusted members into the bunker that provide assistance, more decoration items and the ability to upgrade materials, like beds/couches being improved to rest faster or fridges holding more/cooling longer

I took a nap, for today i was set on a TD bender! and boy was i kicking butt too, until i realised the gov, was at the front door... /sigh.. ... A brilliant game. Truly a diamond in the rough. i ignored it for some time thinking it would be shallow, a lot of these types are but Mr Prepper, is well made, it has character and depth. above and beyond and it's all nicely interwoven, with some flair. A great management game. ..Managing time is clever. Trade is fun, it's rewarding. Construction's great, it all looks good and the resource collection to go with it isn't a grind nor is it cheap. The NPC's are likable and the graphics' shiny where it should be. and then on top of that you're dealing with blackouts, hunger, sleep, water shortages and the gov, popping in just make sure everything is as it should be.. 'This war of mine' come to mind, in regard to locations but here the levels are in way more fleshed out, you could say less variety but more depth, deeper into the woods or further down the mineshaft or maybe floor it further into the desert, they're all a fun means to an end, aswell as other locations. Combat does what it does fair enough. Mr Prepper has a great economy and a clean juggle. It allows for some nice creativity and leaves you to ponder your goals, while trying to gtfo of dodge. Even the save system plays a part. The UI might take some getting used to but it's worth it, i've got no issue with it at all, maybe a middle mouse click map movement like steam does, but otherwise it's good, can get a litle cluttered but just, close the 'tab' I bought both DLC's, fresh run this time, then enabling both on the next play through.
