Ratings and reviews

Amazing and just awful. No matter what I have tried, every single thing I do ends up in utter failure and they just hate the games that I make. I even resorted to straight up cheating and following a very direct guide on how to make platinum hits and it just doesn't work. This is the most hardcore and difficult simulation I have ever played in my life. I LOVED it for awhile but it's just so punishing and impossible to win so, two thumbs way down. Make an easier mode, way way too hard.

While fun, this version of the game is plagued with issues. Achievements resetting, insights not properly carrying over to new games, an extremely high battery drain, frequent stuttering, audio issues, events not firing correctly, loading causing visual bugs, pop-up news glitching, lab sliders being unable to be set to their full capacity, and the game crashing if you switch to another app are only some of the issues that affect this version of the game. Edit: Update added even more bugs.

I played more than I should have, hoping it'd get better. The concepts are excellent and I really dug the ideas. but. in practice, it's boring and bland. There's not enough 'fun' in the gameplay. the choices make sense, mostly, but you're making selections. and more selections. and more. and more and more. I imagine someone who doesn't know anything about game development, this could go either way and be cool to learn about some ideas, but also, it could be... not fun. A real bummer.
