Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Super buggy and glitchy. The trash system is dumb leave footprints to clean instead of trash would make more sense. The letters around is dumb. Finding something else for inspiration would be more fun. The limited town is also insanely…”
“I would love to do simple things like rotating furniture or having trash bins, so I don’t have to pick up trash all day. Unfortunately, my wishes have not been granted, and I will be refunding this game with utter dissatisfaction.”
