  • The game has a cute and cozy aesthetic that many players find appealing.
  • It offers a unique coffee-making mechanic that differentiates it from other simulation games.
  • The game has potential for improvement, and some players appreciate the developers' commitment to updates and patches.
  • The gameplay is limited and lacks depth, with many players feeling there is little motivation to continue after a short time.
  • Controls are clunky and cannot be customized, leading to frustration during gameplay.
  • The use of AI-generated images for in-game decorations has raised ethical concerns among players, especially due to a lack of transparency.
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their smoothness and quality, though some users express concerns about performance issues, particularly related to v-sync and motion blur settings. While the visuals are appealing, players desire more options to adjust graphic quality for better performance. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, with potential for further improvements as the developer has a roadmap in place.

    • “It has smooth graphics.”
    • “It's not a complete simulation game, that's for sure, but there are things it's good at, like graphics.”
    • “All good, good graphics, and the developer has many roadmaps.”
    • “I wish the dev could give us the option to turn off the V-Sync and any motion blur settings, as well as the option to lower the graphic quality to help improve the game performance.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users note that "Coffee Express" focuses on the engaging mechanics of coffee-making rather than the typical cycle of purchasing and organizing items found in other simulation games. However, some feel that its gameplay lacks longevity compared to similar titles.

    • “Because in my observation, Coffee Express offers the mechanics of making coffee, rather than a cycle of buying things and placing them on shelves, then buying more shelves and placing more things.”
    • “On the other hand, to make a full comparison, it doesn't have gameplay that lasts as long as other simulations.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding mechanics in the game to be frustrating, as the time constraints make it difficult to complete tasks like making drinks, particularly with the single-use coffee grinder. The short in-game days exacerbate the issue, leading to a sense of annoyance rather than enjoyment in the grinding process. Overall, while the game has potential, the grinding aspect detracts from the experience.

    • “The coffee grinder is single-use for the espresso machine, so you are constantly grinding coffee beans, which would not be an issue if you actually had time since the days are extremely short.”
    • “Making a single drink, such as a vanilla latte, can take as long as it takes for a customer to leave.”
    • “The controls are annoying and can't be changed, and figuring out how to make some of the drinks can be frustrating when some of the instructions are not very accurate.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the game's optimization, citing issues like stuttering and a lack of options to disable v-sync and motion blur, as well as the inability to lower graphic quality for better performance. These factors significantly detract from the overall experience.

    • “I wish the dev could give us the option to turn off V-Sync and any motion blur settings, as well as the option to lower the graphic quality to help improve game performance.”
    • “I wish the dev could give us the option to turn off v-sync and any motion blur settings, as well as the option to lower the graphic quality to help improve game performance.”
    • “I've tried to enjoy it, but the horrible stuttering of every still object when you're moving makes my eyes hurt.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is primarily sourced from a central location, creating an immersive atmosphere as sounds, like the radio's music, are consistently heard throughout the environment, including at the cash register.

    • “Almost all of the sounds originate from the center of the coffee shop: the music from the radio is heard at the cash register even though it is standing in the corner.”
