    So far this game has been entertaining. I downloaded it thinking it would kill a bit of time but I've kept at it for a good portion of the evening. I like the initial reviews part and the history aspects. Seeing some very similar systems to the ones that I grew up with come up in the history blurbs has been fun.

    Pretty fun, played it for hours my first go. Controls and ui are easy to understand, like the feeling of being stuck in. Kinda wish you could turn down the rent amount or go into a sandbox mode so you don't always feel pressured to always be doing something, its nice the first few runs, but a casual sandbox endless mode would be nice say, after you finish the first go of it... All in all, good fun.

    Truly an amazing game! So many different combinations to choose from, it ensures every playthrough is unique. The game has a fair share of trail and error, but it's fun discovering the combinations and what does and doesn't work well. My biggest gripe is the sequel system, I'd prefer to be able to put my games into 'series' and have spinoffs that aren't necessarily sequels (and have them grouped as a series on my game overview). The game timeline menu could use an overhaul regardless.
