Initial review having played 14.5 hours:
I'll start with the biggest CONS: Bad DRIVING MECHANICS, and the fact that they'd be so much active driving involved. I assumed this was just a business Sim game but the driving is very much a Cyberpunk 2077 minigame with super clunky controls.
Tip 1: Tap directional keys for better control on the road. Avoid hitting anything because the car repairs cost a ton.
Tip 2: DO NOT by any means take any delivery jobs as your first job. Not until you've gotten used to driving around. Actually don't take them ever. Go for EL GATO SUPERMARKET CASHIER as your first job task. It's walking distance from your first apartment and the job is posted INSIDE the supermarket building.
CON 2: After you've established your first business, things slow down a bit. Game requires patience where you fall into this mundane daily rinse and repeat as you wait for revenue to pile up before you can expand into other businesses. Then again I'm only 14 hours into gameplay i.e. 22 days in-game, so it's probably too early to judge that.
PROS: It gets addictive. After you get used to the driving mechanics and get past the initial tutorial tasks, form contracts with your contacts, you can automate some of these tasks from your in-game phone, set up deliveries etc, the game starts to grow on you. I find myself coming back to it the next day and see where it goes.
EXPECTATION: Set your expectations for this game. It is a BUSINESS SIM. You will rent buildings, set up businesses, hire employees, or later buy out other business buildings.
I see on social media it's being marketed as a "The Sims" type game but IT IS NOT THAT. There is no build mode (buildings already exist, you simply furnish them), no interpersonal relationship mechanics, and the interior decoration is not a huge aspect, rather it's a side thing, often to fulfill business requirements (e.g. buy and place a water cooler for your employees). DO NOT GO IN thinking it's The Sims.
