10/10. The employee actions need some work but other than that, everything is great

Very frustrating at the beginning as you get used to the save system, but worth it if you push through that beginning frustration.

10/10 so far. There have been probably 7 or 8 instances where I'd think "dang, I wish they had xyz..." then I'd find the game does have it 10 mins later (for example, I wished they included taxes then I got a letter from the IRS asking for $23k lol).

Wish list for future development / recommended changes:
- Rework rent. The very first business I had, a small gift shop (following the story) was bringing in about $2k a day within a week, and my rent was $70/day. I'd increase the rent to the point where it's not killing you but it's not inconsequential like it is right now
- More mid to late game content. I got about 80 days in before I started to really accumulate money, and at that point I didn't really know what to do with it. Especially before you get to the building buying point - ie if you have $300k laying around, wtf do you do with it? I know they're working on this with the addition of factories which is a great first step, but I'd like something like a more fleshed out investment feature.
- More filters on the UI. Once you get to the 5 businesses / 50 workers stage, it's a bit of a pain to find a certain product or a certain employee. Add a search bar to the warehouse and employee page :)

This is definitely one of my top 3 games of all time right now. I always wanted an open sandbox business game that wasn't arcade-y and had some in-depth mechanics without being overly burdened by those mechanics. Can't recommend this enough if you're into this genre

2.0 update makes this game what it should have been. All initial issues resolved, 9/10 game imo.

Democracy!

Best game of all time, Larian is an 11/10 company that knows what they're doing

Definitely a great start to a great game. Needs to be fleshed out for sure - more guns, more parts, more loot, etc, but it's a great start!

True zombie sandbox. Recommend turning off zombie respawning though :)

Touch literally any option on the main menu and it's "restart required, this will take a few seconds". ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why is it impossible for people to make games without requiring restarts? Also, EVERYTHING needs an internet connection in this game. Boo.

STEEP learning curve that doesn't plateau - always something more to learn and you'll constantly feel like you're missing something. But once you learn the bulk of it (which took me a good 100 hours), you will love it. Worth the learning curve.
