Nice micro management and steady new possible opportunities and challenges as time advances within the game. 10 out of 10, would create a more greedy company then EA again.

Great game! I suck, so this game was STUPID difficult for me, but it is a fun challenge for sure!

April 2024

It's good but the workshop is so fucking goated like the best thing of the game fr, not a lot of stuff in there (yet) but what's there is hella good, the game alone is incredibly great tho, it's nice and simple and once you know how to play it, you'll be invested. I liked it, i think you will like it too.
