What players say

Players praise the depth and freedom once past a steep learning curve, but almost everyone complains about the camera: no free movement, poor zoom, and confusing highlighting of hotels on the map. The lack of a proper tutorial makes the first hour a trial-and-error slog, though the game offers satisfying long-term strategy once you get the hang of it.
