The Life's Lane

Where to being with this review. If you want the short answer I personally think it’s worth it when I look at the utility of enjoyment I had with versus the price. I have bought a mini of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sandwiches and drinks for seven dollars I definitely didn’t get much more enjoyment out of this game. Now this is the second game I’ve seen of recent date inspired by the classic if not Little know game now of Jones on the fast lane. The first game I saw the done this was this Grand Life even with its flaws was a wonderful put together game. Know Life Lane where do I start the graphics of this game came out the 90s it would probably be more acceptable and most likely I hope that’s the vibe they’re going for it actually feels like I’m playing a flash game from early 2000s both graphics and mechanics. Which people can either find incredibly charming or absolutely hate it I personally found the graphics charming in this archaic fashion. The one thing weird about the first map though is if it’s simulating Africa or the darker skin Africans are on top of the lighter skins ones on the bottom it’s kind of a weird. Now talk about the narrative in the actual gameplay itself. First game start you off at a nameless African country that is a combination of every stereotype you think of both north Africa and anything in the south of the Massive content. Living expectations are poor pay is even worse corruption is flourishing and death is easy and extremists are all about. Your objective in this map is to gain enough capital legal or otherwise through all the legal tape work or otherwise to get to the USA. Even with it’s questionable graphics and representation I thought it was gonna be satire a little bit of it is though. But it’s definitely a bit of a critique of America role In poor nations as well. And during this map the vital resource outside of your capital is your reputation with America and your reputation as a practicing Muslim. That’s vital to gain most of the work majority of the word comes from you having a good reputation as a Muslim but to get the best jobs you need to be good with playing bolus for both sides. Which leads to interesting scenarios. Wonderful things this game does and this is where I see a lot of the love coming in here for it work. Is there a generic advance advance based on your job and your position at work which are huge and you see that both in the African in the US map. Which can really make your fortune or kill you. That attention to detail depending on what is your career path and your reputation is how that world actually interact with you. It’s very little thing but I like it there and it’s a lot of sweat and tears in them aspect that makes the game so much more enjoyable. For example if you have a job at the US Embassy it be attacked. Which will joy experience if your fruit seller. One of the interesting things on the African map is there’s no skills it’s all based on reputation which translates into nepotism and connections for you to get into this positions. I personally like that touch. Now to US map my big complain is I wish my the education mechanic was more realistic as you see in this grand life but I do love all the test taking systems you have throughout the entire game. Overall it was quite enjoyable and it’s interesting when you see your choices catch up with you. For example all that my character eat was fatty food throughout the entire game is eventually caught up with him and he got diabetes very late into the game. For example my character did Menial jobs when they got to the states they passed the real estate exam got lucky with some sales. And was able to use that to fund their education and threw some lucky events of conference is an online courses up the corporate ladder of the financial institution. Going back to how your job is affect would eventually get the higher you go up I was opened up two massive investment opportunities that if you have patients would pay off in dividends. Which allowed them to eventually retire comfortably to Hawaii. Versus their life back home where they had to carry around an arsenal of weapons not to get robbed over $20. I think this game is served it’s purpose I would love to see a third act in game enjoying the retirement.

This game is not finished and does not work properly. Boring and repetative.

Introducing Migrant Simulator 2018™ - The Quest for the Magic Soil. The amount of clicking to constantly buy food is rediculous. Using a autoclicking script becomes a necessity for sanity. Very repetitive and shallow gameplay. Whether you succeed or fail is largely up to random chance.

for $7 the game isn't worth it. Very repetitive. I do not think their are multiple scenarios like most of the time. I was so hopeful for this game.

Not what I was expecting when I read the description of the game. I lost interest after only a few minutes due being comepletely at a lost at what to do and just - being bored.
