Writer's Rush

The price is not high, so I do not feel ripped off. But still I have to give this game a negative review after my experience. Even though I admire the devs bravery to come up with such an innovative topic for a game. It took me 11h to get to 85% of the achievements. 3 last hrs were for the battle royale achievement and that's the only time I had to do a restart as I got kicked out in round 5 the first try. You have to be aware that what you do in this game is very much constrained by the game itself. I can only speak for Career mode and battle royale mode, sandbox mode may feel different, but I do not see me playing it. I feel that I saw enough of the game. The game loop is seperated by levels/rounds in which the game exactly tells you what you have to do, what you can or cannot do. So in order to become a proficient writer you have to start texting ads, articles etc. The time mechanic feels especially off in this one as you have half a year or so to write a weather article. By doing tasks you will gain skills and if you do it right, well... you become unstoppable. My last 9 books were all a 10/10... I don't think that any choice I made about the plot could have potentially changed this. So in a way you never get enough feedback by the game, what works and what does not work... what effects did a choice about the plot, the plot/dialogue/setting-slider have at all. And at least I did not have the feeling at all to do something creative. It ends up to be very much repetitive. I was expecting something more creative, something that made me identify more with my character. Basically all the game you can see it in the screenshots. That's all you see... and this does not give me the vibes that I am an aspiring writer. Could I do it any than the devs or would I have better ideas to transport the topic? Maybe not... but it was not my choice to make this game. Still a compliment to the devs to at least try out this topic. I just felt that there would be better ways/games to spend my time during my whole playthrough. I would rate this game overall a 3/10
