Enjoying a ton so far! :D
Fun progression, and I enjoy the business management mechanics
I do wish the vehicle fleet management was easier - like an 'auto assign to new orders' option or similar.
Overall a great game! The tutorial is clunky asf.

Great concept, too many game breaking bugs forced me to stop playing. Playtime is probs around 10 hours before I had to stop playing because of bugs.

I really wanted to love this game, but it's a buggy, clunky, and very unorganized piece of work.
I hoped it would be a great experience.
If it wasn't so clunky, and depended on clicking around in menus and sub menus and then sub menus of sub menus, it would be good. I was hoping it would be kind of like software inc, prison architect, or something similar.
This is actually so bad, I'm going to refund it. (I usually try to stay around and see if it gets better in the future -my game library shows that lol, but this is a 1.0 state... Fully released game... I'm disapointed.

I hit end game awhile back and have been waiting for more updates literally not playing another game since again, I was waiting for this to get some updates. Finally with the recent QoL updates and this Flying high one, definitely going to pour so much more hours into this game. Please keep the updates coming. More of a like then a review I guess but if you have the patience in the beginning, this is well worth it.

This game is full of game ending bugs. It could be fun but I keep running into a bug with the progression system and I cannot get points to progress. I'm so sad because I would have loved to play the game but after hours of trying to fix bugs and researching how to fix the bugs I had to request a refund. It also seems as if the developers really have not fixed any of the issues since 2023.

This game has recently become a problem on account of my inability to put it down. If you loved whatever Gustavo Fring had going on, then you'll love the opportunity of stepping into the mans shoes. I've never reviewed a game before, but I'm honestly quite glad that this is my first. It's a lot of fun, and with a whole lot more nuance than you'd think at first glance. I love management games like Banished, Civ6, and Anno 1800, but this one definitely feels unique in it's approach towards development and growth. I've only recently joined the Discord for the game and found to my surprise and delight that the development team is always a message away. They're super nice, and very receptive to feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. This game has a lot of charm, and although it may have a couple of things to optimize and fix, it's still great fun.

The game is decent and offers some fun, but it feels incomplete. There's a lack of depth, with no research mechanics—just repetitive tasks like unlocking new drugs and managing the business. Traps that kill your employees are incredibly frustrating.

I love this game and enjoyed every single minute playing it.
It scratched that itch I've had since I was a kid, wanting to build an automatable drug empire with some kind of defenses, and I'm glad it's still getting updates, even after the developer had issues with the previous publisher it just shows that he cares about the game

Cool game, very fun gameplay and concept.
It feels good to make your own operation at first. You buy a place, build everything, hire personal, start selling and getting more money. That first part is very good.
But, I feel like it needs way more cooking. There are so many things missing. You basically have little to no competition, you can't get caught by the cops or have any operations getting busted. After a few hours it feels like you are seelling more just to make more money to then sell more. I just don't see that grind and reward system.
I didn't have any major bugs like other people.
Also, It is very easy to get money, just make a stable weed operation and leave the game open when you go to sleep, you will be a billionare by the next time you play.
Overall I recommend it, not a prefect game but sure a good one.
