I'd recommend hands down this game has so much potential no lie it has some bugs but as long as the Devs stay active this game should be something unique. Its very engaging especially keeping your businesses up and running I hope the Devs don't give up on this like some others. Bugs - TV has issues staying on after saves sometimes/ doesn't stay on when leaving have to reset after returning to owned building but a cool feature - Car quick reset does not work correctly when trying to set the car from phone - Objects will self place if character is looking at the floor - Car gets stuck very easily on high curbs -Once someone moves in the person is buggy to roam around the the owned building some buildings they wont move at all / buggy sitting on the couch if one is present but the person does sit eventually Likes/Suggestions -Love the grind -Add more business to own -Add Guns - not saying we need rivals killing the experience that you have to deal with them so often - maybe hunting would be a nice add on as well -Custom wall art -More interior furniture and appliances -Drug running is cool although more money for the sells would be nice -LOVE THE CARS!!!!! -PHONE SYSTEM IS GREAT!!!!!! Came back to edit with the game still open Overall I 100% enjoy the game even the way it is but some UPDATES WOULD BE NICE WE NEED GAMES LIKE THIS!

Some people are saying it's abandoned yet they just updated it, I normally wait for the game to exit early access before I leave a review, but I felt I needed to do a review just to counter the negatives It's a small sandbox, but there is a fair bit to do, looking forward to new updates, even if they do take a few months as they are normally large, having said that, if the devs read this, might I suggest smaller update more often to combat the abandonment issues people seem to have.

I like the game but it is lacking. No downtown properties? Making money is difficult but you level up to max level in jobs really fast. Not enough stores. NPCs have cute outfits but we don't have many options.

A good and fun game if you are bored but developers need to add more things to do because at some point its just repetitive
