Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Would be great except it's not balanced at all for single player, you can't hire workers but you still have to do the same amount of work as though you had friends on playing with you, and you can't pause, even if you are in single player…”
“Very buggy, multiple time i had items clip through tables, shelves. When Id place a pizza in the oven it would glitch back to the topping tray almost every time. Just hard to reccomend in its current state.”
