while the game is still in it's infancy, the devs are working hard to listen to and react to community feedback.

this IS a prohibition era gangster game, there are several elements in game to prove that, such as:

illicit alcohol production/sales.
protection rackets.
paying off police to leave you alone.
setting up speakeasies.

no, this is not what you would find in a godfather film. it's strictly prohibition era.

with that said it is a management game, you have to manage production chains and delivery routes, like any tycoon game.

the UI is still alittle clunky, moving camera too far glitches out the character selected and you need to re-select them. but it isn't a glitchy mess. there are very few issues with it as far as i can see.

alot of the negative reviews are people with preconceived expectations of what they want out of the game, hype build-up is probably responsible, too many opinions and very little fact involved.
