Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Way worse than the first game. It's too tedious, frustrating and complex. But also lacking in depth in other areas such as family life, generations, travel etc. It also takes waaaaayyyyy too long to get a degree”
“Played the demo and was just too intrigued to not pick it up at a discount despite my reservations at this being a bit of a dead game at this point (no new major updates and a very quiet community). For a money-focused game it’s very rough…”
