Gym Camp Simulator Reviews

Interesting to play as its a mix of simulation game and puzzle solving trap. At first it looks like you are supposed to be in charge of the gym, but instead your job is to build the facilities and then hire staff. The only real engagement you have with the gym part is to set up each camper's gym workout and meal plan. And the meal plan part only starts once you have achieved level 4 and built the dining hall. And I think that's where the game has flaws. The UI is quirky and counter-intuitive at times. Worse, when you register a camper you have to take their picture, but then you will need to exit their profile to get the game to continue, but to put together their gym workout and meal plans you have to go back into their profile. Worse, the gym workout pages will be set to whatever page you last viewed, which is likely to be the activities you want the camper to do last as you want them to warm up a bit before doing high risk good exp exercises. I also found that once I had a level 7 camp the campers suddenly needed a lot more exp in order to achieve their weight goals. Often as much as 50 exp in a day when a maximum risk gym program with 5 high exp tasks won't give more than 30-32 exp. You can gain a bit more with meals (maximum of 9 per day), but getting someone the required exp quickly becomes far more difficult than it had been. Its not game-breaking, but it was frustration creating as all my campers after I reached level 7 were constantly demanding refunds because they failed to achieve their goals. (and don't get me started on the fact that you can have a full camp and yet campers continue to show up and will score the camp 0/10 because you didn't admit them, despite the fact that you couldn't.) Its just a lot of little things that make the game UI far more complicated than it should be along with a game-play loop that was not easy to define and which seemed to constantly shift without clear warning. Its possible to work through it, but I would say this is definitely a "buyer beware" situation. Make sure you love this kind of simulation.
