I am enjoying the game, surprisingly given it's a ubisoft title, though less surpirisngly given ME developed it. It's a fun experience, fairly open and has quite a lot to do. I will say that I see zero point to a NG+ when you have zero choices ingame and there doesn't actually appear to be any reason to replay it beyond boredom and the possibly that it's literally the only game you own.

Juvenile and glitchy. Has potential to be a solid comic store simulator, but I wouldn't bother atm.

Reminds me of the Hospital/Two Point Tycoon games, though it's a bit short in comparison. Took me about 7 hours to 3 star all the maps before I went to freeplay, and that's just a repeat of previous maps with nothing new added.

It's fun, and at least different from other tycoon games with the whole vampire deal, but I would be annoyed if I hadn't gotten it on sale.

If you like books, shop simulators and cats, you'll like this.

Currently? This is just Schedule 1: Cocktail Edition with less freedom when it comes to mixing ingredients and bad grammar. Remove the linear recipes, and maybe it'll be worth playing beyond the demo.

I'm someone who enjoys games where the main loop consists of 'mashing' things together and seeing what comes out. Big fan of cooking games where you discover recipes in such a way, specifically. This game fills that craving to an abnormal degree despite it being about crafting guns and not food. Although I was expecting something a little more in the 'apocalypse survival' category (killing zombies with the guns I create, for instance) this has been a pleasant surprise, and 23 hours later I'm still enjoying myself.

Game puts you in space, gives you a ship and scatters a whole bunch of looter shooter missions for you to do, and lets you do whatever the hell you want 95% of the time. There is a... loose story line at the moment, but once you hit a certain point, you can ignore it if you want.

It's fun, but if I'm being honest, I'm mainly recommending simply because it runs so well. If space looter shooter is your jam, you'll love this. I 100% had zero expectations this would run with my ancient 1050ti, but it does, and surprisingly well, especially for an EA game.

The kids are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ adorable.

The game is also good.

I just want to point out that I DO recommend this; for the concept. For the loop. For the oddly fun horde nights. However, there is one glaringly horrid problem; the employees. You have two that are genuinely useful, and then the rest you can hire to take over... the only jobs you'd want to do during the day. I get it, you don't have the time to do everything, but to deliberately decide that the only job without an employee is the cleaner is absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ diabolical. It is the WORST part of ANY game. Wtf devs?

Edit to add: AND REAL LIFE.

Second Edit: I was wrong. I apologize. Gravekeepers will clean graves if you train them. My bad.

Although I do enjoy the game as it has quite a lot of content, I cannot recommend purely for the fact there are innumerable bugs and the last 'update' not only added more, but was also 8 months ago. If it hasn't been abandoned, I'll be surprised.
