Gamble With Your Friends

The game is in early access stage despite it not being in such stage: it lacks controls to customize gameplay, multiplayer features and moderation features. It is also unbalanced and lacks mecanisms for second chances: you just win enough or lose, no way to somehow tighten your belt, sell stuff and save yourself.

Don't get me wrong. The games are fun, the art style is cute, and all that. But one thing completely ruined the illusion for me: everything is predetermined. A day starts, and EVERYTHING is already set in stone. Every hand dealt in blackjack. Every duck that wins the duck race. So when you play, it isn't random in the traditional sense. I mean, sure, it's still gambling in some way. But when I sit down to play blackjack, it's not 'will I get a better hand this time?' It's more like 'has the game decided to let me win this round?' If you lose and reload a save, remembering the first outcome of every game, you can cheese it extremely easily. I know I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but it just completely ruins the game for me. Every time I lose, I know it was predetermined by some arbitrary seed and not just me being unlucky that second.
