What players say

Players split sharply: those with hundreds of hours praise the steady stream of new content and huge product variety, while newer players and those hit by bugs report a grind-heavy first dozens of hours with no way to mass-order, daily employee hiring that feels mandatory, and an update that placed giant escalators inside stores, sometimes deleting progress.
