Low-Budget Repairs

Bugi byłyby do przeżycia, ale muzyka wygenerowana przez AI psuje absolutnie całe podekscytowanie grą. Ogromny minus za tą muzykę, aż się grać odechciewa

Игра приобреталась только из-за того самого великолепного трейлера (который разрабы технично удалили). Если вам кайф выполнять абсолютно однообразные задачи по строгим требованиям списка с галочками - милости просим. Если вы, как и я, видели тот самый трейлер, где ремонт бьет ключом из просверленной водопроводной трубы, окно ставится на кирпичики и в свободном режиме запенивается, а плитку можно зафиксировать скотчем - не берите это ни в коем случае (по крайней мере сейчас). На текущем этапе развития - данное произведение тянет максимум на 299 р. На момент, когда я еще не знал, что разработчики решили полностью пренебречь своей же рекламой, и приобретал игру - готов был выложить и 2к денег. Получил же мини игру по запениванию щелей (СТРОГО ПО ПУНКТИРНОЙ ЛИНИИ БЕЗ МАЛЕЙШЕЙ ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ НАКОСЯЧИТЬ), автоматическую кладку кирпичей и бесконечное вазюкание по стенам шпатлевкой, клеем или краской (помимо прочих разочарований, главное из которых - полное отсутствие ИЗОЛЕНТЫ в игре). Отвечу, почему наиграно 18 часов в такую "отвратительную" (по моему мнению) игру: а) отпуск б) огромнейшая надежда на какое-то развитие событий. Сплошные баги, проблемы с текстурами и куча других проблем, на которые никто даже не обратил бы внимания, получи мы на старте хотя-бы намек на обещанное. Искренне жду "ту самую игру из рекламы" и тогда полностью изменю свое мнение

Currently I can't recommend it due to the bugs in the game, I would wait a while until they've released at least one large patch focused on bug fixing

The game advertises itself as allowing you to take the role of a chaotic, drunken handyman trying to figure out creative solutions to do something as cheaply and as low-effort as possible. Instead, you are given an incredibly linear story with little room for player decision or creativity. The original trailer showed a number of problems situations you could encounter that required creative solutions, but the final game feels like the mechanics for those were abandoned and never implanted. For example, the trailer showed a window that was too small being fitted with bricks and expanding foam, but what we got in the end was a universal "one size fits all" pane of glass that always fits perfectly. Even the dialog in-game hints at things that don't make much sense. For example, the ghost guiding you suggests that you can buy a cheaper item than the customer wants, and pocket the difference. However, a lot of categories of items only offer one choice (such as a bunk bed - there's only a single one available for purchase), or all the choices cost the same price, giving little incentive to shop around. Even the release trailer over-promises. It shows lively NPCs reacting to the player, when in reality the few NPCs you encounter are largely static and will just stand there until you complete the required objectives for a stage. In the end, the game feels like the same few tasks being repeated over and over, with some occasional one-off variety (such as painting a mural or fixing stained glass). Most tasks are threshold based - once so many tiles are laid, or a certain percentage of the wall is painted, that's good enough, and the portrayed-as-dimwitted and nonchalant clients don't seem to notice or complain. Overall, the game feels incredibly linear with the promise of chaos and creative solutions replaced by a number of repetitive, grindy, and occasionally tedious tasks.

was not aware this game used generative ai. luckily a friend pointed it out in time so i could refund. i was enjoying this game so much and really torn for a moment about refunding. i just can't support generative ai, it was not necessary for you to make this game.

Поиграл 5 часов. Впечатления крайне смешанные: потенциал у игры есть, но количество багов, проблемы с производительностью и сырость убивают всё удовольствие... 1. Оптимизация и графика: Оптимизация дико хромает. Чтобы получить более-менее адекватный FPS, приходится урезать настройки до низких-средних, хотя графически игра точно не должна нагибать железо. 2. Баги: Их реально куча и они напрямую блокируют прогресс. Берешься за резку плитки персонаж проваливается под текстуры, после чего положить ее уже невозможно)) Но хуже всего сломанные квесты: сдать задание иногда просто нереально, потому что тупо не срабатывает взаимодействие. 3. Локализация: Русским переводом как будто вообще никто не занимался. Описание в журнале переведены так, что ничего не понятно, приходится продвигаться методом тыка. В итоге переключил на английский там хотя бы понятна суть задач. 4. Геймплей: Сильно отличается от того, что показывали в первых трейлерах (те же механики с супермаркетом ощущаются совсем иначе). Плюсы: Юмор действительно классный, посмеяться можно. Атмосфера абсурдного бюджетного ремонта на месте. Итог: Брать только на хороших скидках и желательно после десятка патчей. Баги с ремонтом и ужасная оптимизация пока сильно тормозят продвижение по сюжету. Оценка: 3.5/10 (ждем фиксов)

Wszystko jest okej do czasu gdy w misji z przykrecaniem szafek zamiast celować wiertarką ktorą mam wyposażoną nagle celuje szafką po czym ona znika i nie da sie ukonczyc misji bez kupienia drugiej szafki

I completed the game and I really love the concept, However I cannot recommend this game because the game is So heavily Early Access even though it has been fully released. The game has gotten 5 updates, all of them very "early access" patches instead of adding content. if the developers had not blatantly mislead people with the Trailer and admitted that this is early access then the reviews would not be Mixed. The game itself is addicting and fun with dialogue mostly cringe with some actual funny jokes and The story is bland and painfully predictable. my wife also completed a separate save and had her own constructive criticism to share: Firstly surprisingly the wiring aspect was very enjoyable and something new in games like these, the slavic style of the buildings and interiors and available furniture was also lovely change of scenery as I have played and loved House Flipper, Crime scene cleaner, Sims and Paralives (all of them have a very american look to them). The game is EARLY ACCESS! Voice over was rather cringe( might have loved the protagonist to have a more slavic guy vibe to them instead of innocent american goody two shoes young boy). Need these to be changed asap: in your own building i should be able to change and move the sink( perhaps make a rule to have at least one sink on the lot if this is the reason). PLEASE PLEASE let me paint the ceiling actually white- the yellowish hue weirdly really bothers me. Give me an option to combine the rooms on my lot- I really have an idea for the building but the weird shaped (1.st unlock room) kind of ruins it all. Maybe give the option to combine rooms or remove walls as the very last unlock? Potential for a very enjoyable and invitingly unique game is there! Also I want to be able to steal stuff from all mission areas and a way to keep fragile items from breaking when I want to take them onto my own lot. The garage door/Big window looks so strange from inside the room- please make it look like something I could actually work with. I will come back to the game in a few months and change my review to reflect the improvements made. Potential for a very enjoyable and invitingly unique game is there but such an early access release marketed as full release will scare away people who would have become your supporter and a lifelong client! Verdict: It is an early access title marketed as the full release. There is definitely fun to be had but the game is buggy and has less content than advertised

I really dislike leaving negative reviews for small developers. In this case, the game just doesn't deliver on what was expected. The ultimate problem is the absence of creativity; you follow a set of instructions to complete a job in a very linear story, and that is it. There is no expression, no tricks - after the first few jobs, it is a grindy and repetitive experience that is more akin to assembling an IKEA desk over and over than a sandbox. It's very disappointing, because the setting is a lot of fun. To be constructive, I think a "creative mode" would improve the game a lot by giving players opportunity to explore the game's variety and decorate their house.
