Gold Rush: The Game Reviews

The gameplay is great, graphics are decent only issue is preformance.

Very good game. Definitely needs better optimization, but overall the game is solid and simply enjoyable. Also, the premium downloadable content in my opinion is good and priced fairly.

Had the sudden urge to play Gold Rush after 7 years, learned it's now Gold Mining Simulator, installed it, played it for half an hour and voila, still the same shit as 7 years ago. Graphics look like CoD 1, not on lowest settings but on ultra, gameplay is still janky and repetitive which is not up my alley and I love Factorio, and bugs got better but it still has them: it went from getting your pickup stuck and reaching 7.7 million km/h (look in my screenshots, shit was whacky) down to put stuff X in Y and X cant go into Y, but its still anoying. So in short: get yourself the series for the same prize and have more fun laying on the couch watching that

realy fun to play, even though its a little grindy and kinda hard to run for my laptop. (I have to say i miss the game being called "gold rush: the game" ): )

it is ok, but the eqipments mechanics and the way they are handling different terrain is totally dogshit. i almost threw my mouse into the screen because i got stuck i some pebbles for an hour. the only thing drivable is the starter car.

its a good game and its pretty fun my only complaint is workers well dont work they function like perk cards and are generally a waste imo i get that perks can be useful but when i see worker in a game i think automation which was a pretty big let down that it wasnt available even if it was just when you slept in game

discovery really dropped out of this game huh absolutely for the best the game is trash now bye bye gold rush the game o7 and well go away gold mining simulator

I enjoy this game, because there aren't many games like it out there. There are some, I know, but not a lot. That being said. This game is a buggy mess. I just bought the Orange Beast DLC yesterday to complete the set. Since I installed it I've had the following things happen, that never happened before. I'm playing the leaderboards. 1 - I dropped a full can of fuel while trying to refuel my diesel water pump, and it fell through the ground. Out a jerry can and the fuel inside (which isn't cheap on day 1 of a fresh game}, and have to make a trip to town because now i have no water supply to run my hog pan. 2 - I had a stack of 20 empty buckets left next to my hogpan. I fill buckets from my hogpan all day and process it at night. I loaded last nights save this morning and every one of my buckets was gone. $200 worth of buckets and a trip to the store later i finally got back to work. 3 - I rented the drill yesterday to probe my parcel, and about 1/4 through i checked my gold map, and there was nothing recorded from the drill. Not 1 square. 4 - I decided to try the drill again today. I rented it. Transported it. Bought a replacement drill bit for when it breaks. Drive back to my claim. No drill machine. I checked every inch of my claim. I pressed the [ and ] keys, which quick move you to the next vehicle. Drill machine doesn't exist. I went back to the machine shop to see if it was there. Nope. Out like $8000ish and have nothing to show for it what-so-ever. I have to ask, what is going on? Are leaderboard games buggy, or disallow drilling or something? I haven't tried non leaderboard since getting the Orange Beast DLC, am I in for more of this? Did the last update take the game a step backward? I don't understand, but it's really game breaking when these things happen. And all of the above happened with the same save game. All this time and i'm left with basically nothing for my effort because the game is taking everything away from me. I have 128 hours into this game so far, and have wishlisted GMS2. But if this is what the game has become, I'm soon walking away and cutting my losses. It's just not worth the time and effort to get screwed at every possible turn.

Very fun alot of things you can do in this game and its in depth like the tv show. Cons the city is kinda dead its just you out there it gets kinda spooky. Great game other then that.

I had heard many good things about the game, so I bought it during a sale. Unfortunately, I didn’t get around to playing it until about a month later. The game looks nothing like the pictures. I thought it was an issue with my settings, but even after spending over an hour trying, I couldn’t get it to look like the videos I’d seen. I was very disappointed. The next issue was that even though I was getting around 100 frames per second, the game jittered while walking, and every 100 meters, it froze to load the next zone. It’s such a promising game, but it feels unplayable for me. The worst part is that I couldn’t even refund it because I’d purchased it more than two weeks ago. It's frustrating to see such a promising game get worse with each update.
