Honest thoughts?

[Cryptic]

Most of the reviews either have incredibly low playtime or they're just meme/joke reviews.

Can anyone give me some honest, somewhat deep info on how the game is? I saw complaints about bugs here and there but in general how is it?

[posthum]

I tempted fate by buying an early access title despite my resolution to never do that anymore and just this once I did not get burned - first time since Rimworld. I'm just south of 30 hours in and it's actually a solid game.

It is THE best drug simulator and overall as a small dev/game has insane passion, detail and overall structure behind it that actuallly has good animations and even NPC reactions and stuff, all in early access which all other games never even get and with "almost" no bugs, with the only dev releasing bugfixes every single day and always saying what he is going to do and as example continue doing only bugfixes and every day until it's finished, with an entire roadmap to update for years. This isn't only a good drug dealer game, it's simply a good game. Already.

I like pretty much everything except that when you get to higher levels, you really need to have friends to play the game with because managing different product types on your own gets to be too difficult. Dealers constantly running out of product while I am running between different properties

Gotcha.

Is combat a big part of the game? IDC either way, just curious.

there are ways to counter this. you get money laundering that can also be used for storage. i use the car wash for weed the post office for meth. not got coke yet i have money for the warehouse but im automating and streamlining the weed and meth first.

60 hours in and really enjoying it. yes there are bugs but as long as you set up correctly they are minimised. (don't rearange stuff while workers are working etc wait till 4am) dev/s are pumping out patches and game has so much potential. combat is there but its very easy to avoid the cops, i dont carry a gun or bat unless im pick pocketing customers:P great game highly recommended

its good and addicting game
fun with the hole family cooking meth 10/10 would cut all buds again

I'm about 20 hours in, and I love the game. I had 70 plus hours on the demo and it just keeps getting better and better

Honest opinion I have about 30 + hours into the game. I do enjoy the concept of the game being able to run your own drug empire but at its current state for the drug aspect its in a great state....BUT

if youre not into sims then youre going to get bored very quickly. The game is simple and simple is good but at the current police and "other gang" it lacks heavily. the game is a silly stupid drug sim that will most likely last for a few months. unless they decide to heavily update the way the world works around you. other than that great game sold dark piss.

About 20 hours myself and it’s an awesome game. It definitely has some growing pains that will probably get sorted through updates, most notably employees. A friend and I are starting to figure out how to set them up but it’s a bit tedious and could use refinement.

Gangs aren’t present. Police are an inconvenience rather than something to avoid. The max storage size doesn’t seem sufficient enough. Which I’m sure will get tuned up overtime

Overall, engaging and addicting gameplay. Fun / plenty amount of content as it stands right now, and plenty more to come based on the roadmap listed in a news post on the 24th of March.

I mean doubt its gonna get many updates, they made bank lol

DL the demo GZ

How to describe this. It's a job sim game, but the theme makes for interesting situations. On top of that you're not confined to the same room through the whole game like in some other job sims. You get to explore a city, meet a lot of NPC, buy properties, run away from cops, etc.

So as with any job sim, you get to level up or unlock new stuff and that is your "progress". But once again, it's not just "well, this chair is made from silver instead of iron, congrats, you can sell it at a higher price", the whole process of making the product changes. Because weed is not meth, and it's not cocaine.

It's overall a very ambitious game for a small studio like this, it's still in EA and I already got my money's worth. Sure it can improve, sure it's not perfect but that's the point of EA. I've played games out of EA that had many more problems than this one and were not interesting at all.

It's just a fun game, if you're fine with some money grind do yourself a favor and go try the free demo.

It's entertaining to play, has satisfying progression.

Some downsides are inventory management, you don't have a lot of space and no way to get more other then vehicles. Also not really many threats, no rival gangs and the police are just an inconvenience. That could change in the future but right now you're pretty much unimpeded.

It has an addictive gameplay loop and is missing a lot of quality of life features making it a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grind. But is it enjoyable? Yes. Are there a lot of areas that could be refined? Absolutely.

I mean, it is a 20 dollar game though.

I tried it and played for about an hour and a half and I don't feel that it's worth $20. I honestly don't understand the hype. I did have some fun, but I had a ton of bugs and I lost all my progress not once but twice due to save corruption in that short play time so I had had it at that point. Not only that but it got extremely repetitive in the short amount of time that I played. This game definitely is another flavor of the week game in my opinion. No offense to the developer as he has obviously done something very right to top the Steam sale charts for as long as he has with such a small and humble game

[irribar]

Game is fun when you can play it. I played first evening since then (6 days now) i cannot play at all because of a saving bug. Bugs is a major problem at moment. Ticket system is not taking any new tickes because it is full. I would wait and see if the game gets better with the bug problem.

[Cryptic]

It just feels like a more tedious version of make it rain. There's no greater goal than just make more money. You can't use it for much or do anything. Real criminals have greater goals. This game has none. It feels like half a game to me

25 hours in and I got as addicted to it as my customers. I really hate the fact that I cannot automate the delivery of raw resources to my properties and basically fully automate the production of drugs. Other than that no game breaking bugs nothing crazy.
I think the game right now is worth for this low price and I am pretty sure that it will get better since the dev man now has money and a reason to improve it. For a launch of early access I find this game more fun and polished then other AAA games *cough cough* Cyberpunk 2077.
Play the demo, if you like the demo then you are going to be hooked later on, at least I am.
