“Cute, functional, and put together well. The game just isn't fun for me and feels like work, long boring arduous work. I spent three days grinding up for a set bonus, and I stopped playing looked at myself in the mirror and just realized…”
“I feel bad reviewing this negatively because it's not a bad game, it's just not for me. It doesn't make me want to go back to it to finish it. It can feel sort of repetitive and hollow, but I think it would be fun to play in the background…”
