  • Developers show dedication with significant updates and improvements over time, adding new mechanics like research trees, expanded maps, and story elements.
  • Clean, cartoony graphics and relaxing atmosphere make it enjoyable for casual players seeking a chill experience with strategic elements.
  • The game suffers from bugs including frequent crashes, save file corruption, and broken AI workers which reduce playability and progression.
  • Progression is slow and grind-heavy, especially early game, with tedious repetitive clicking chores and slow skill point gains that frustrate many players.
  • Limited content and a lack of meaningful endgame make the game feel unfinished and repetitive, with some players feeling it is abandoned due to sparse updates and developer inactivity.

  • gameplay

    73 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 67% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is largely repetitive and simplistic, focusing on a basic loop of growing, harvesting, packing, and selling with minimal challenge or variety. While some players appreciate the relaxing and straightforward mechanics with some depth added in updates, many find it monotonous, lacking engaging progression, and less refined compared to the developer’s earlier titles. Technical issues and limited content also detract from the overall experience, though the core mechanics are generally considered well-implemented.

    • “If you like repetitive progression games with enough mechanics around the side of the main gameplay loop to keep you busy but not overwhelmed, this game is for you.”
    • “The quality of core gameplay mechanics is implemented well, with the cannabis products needing the right amount of light and water to grow quickly, and the drying racks can be sped up with fans that are unlocked.”
    • “The gameplay loop is addictive; players must wisely allocate resources while navigating the constant threats from rival gangs and law enforcement.”
    • “Gameplay is practically empty, just repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.”
    • “Gameplay is barebones, any form of traveling goes through a loading screen, and the handling of product doesn't feel nearly as good as it does in DDS1 or Schedule 1.”
    • “The gameplay is monotonous, repetitive, and just a huge waste of time.”

  • grinding

    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 8% neutral mentions, 92% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is often described as slow, tedious, and overly time-consuming, especially when progressing through skill trees or unlocking new content. While some find the grind relaxing or enjoyable as a casual farming simulator, many criticize the lack of meaningful rewards and repetitive tasks that can quickly become monotonous. Future updates and added content could improve the experience, but currently, the grind feels excessive and sometimes frustrating.

    • “Even when you have two fully staffed properties farming XP for you, it still takes so long to research things like a bigger plant pot, which then costs you thousands of dollars to buy.”
    • “Hours and hours of progressless grinding while hoping to unlock something that does not exist yet.”
    • “The player progression and late game is so grindy and monotonous.”

  • graphics

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a distinct, stylized aesthetic that many find visually appealing and fitting for its theme, with some praising its minimal yet engaging art style. However, opinions are mixed as some consider the visuals less detailed and somewhat underwhelming, especially given the high GPU usage that affects performance. Overall, while the graphics are generally regarded as pleasant and thematic, there is room for improvement in depth and optimization.

    • “Really like the genre of game, and this one's particular aesthetic is eye pleasing.”
    • “Visually, the game leans into a stylized aesthetic that fits its theme beautifully.”
    • “The art style is playful yet edgy, reflecting the duality of the drug world—glamor and danger intermingle seamlessly.”
    • “Graphics vs. performance: for visuals that are arguably less detailed than Minecraft, the GPU usage is alarmingly high.”
    • “While I won't accuse the devs of background crypto-mining, the performance draw feels wildly disproportionate to the graphics.”
    • “The graphics are questionable, the mechanics are unfair, and the whole game feels like it actively wants you to fail.”

  • story

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    13% positive mentions, 74% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The story aspect of the game is generally seen as lacking or minimal, with many users noting the absence of a meaningful narrative or context that could add depth and break repetition. However, recent updates have introduced more story elements and mechanics, adding interaction, progression, and a research system that encourage advancement and enhance overall engagement. Despite these improvements, the story remains basic and underdeveloped for many players.

    • “But after the update it's a lot more entertaining, with way more depth to the story and mechanics.”
    • “The basic core of the game remains the same, but now the developer has added a story framework and fleshed out the world around you a bit more.”
    • “The research tree is one of the bigger changes; it has been overhauled and rearranged, with some items only available after progressing to your second property, encouraging players to advance through the story to unlock more.”
    • “The idea might be good, but I sense the game lacks content and a very important 'personality', since it has no backstory, no context, and nothing to break the repetitiveness once in a while.”
    • “There are only 3 missions, which is way too low, making the story feel extremely limited and shallow.”
    • “Despite having quest opportunities, the game lacks meaningful story interactions, as the missions don't add significant context and mainly act as checkpoints.”

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some players finding the soundtrack atmospheric and enhancing the gameplay, while others criticize the limited selection and repetitive loops. Many suggest adding more variety and better options for in-game music to improve the overall experience.

    • “The soundtrack contributes significantly to the experience as well.”
    • “With a mix of eerie tunes and upbeat tracks, the music enhances the gameplay, drawing you deeper into the world of crime and ambition.”
    • “The game is also so silent, you can buy the radio for 250 but the music options are terrible, so either suffer in silence or open up Spotify.”
    • “Needs better music.”
    • “Also, I hope they add more music to the radio/boombox, or a longer loop or even FM radio.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent bugs and stability issues, including freezing during loading screens that can lead to save file corruption. Users report glitches causing NPCs to stop working or behave erratically, with recent updates seemingly increasing the frequency of these problems. Overall, stability remains a significant concern that impacts the gameplay experience.

    • “11 hours into gameplay, I tried teleporting to another warehouse, but the game froze on the loading screen. I had to close the game, and as a result, my save file got wiped, losing all progress back to level 1.”
    • “The game is a bit buggy at times and stutters even with an NVIDIA 3080 10GB. I have to play at low settings for now.”
    • “Besides that, it's a little buggy. Your workers just stop working sometimes, and you have to close and reopen the game to get them back up and running. Sometimes they bug out and don't move but still appear to be working.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -34% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is notably poor, with GPU usage disproportionately high relative to its simple graphics. Players experience subpar performance and lack of polish, indicating unfinished gameplay and inefficient resource management.

    • “Graphics vs. performance: for visuals that are arguably less detailed than Minecraft, the GPU usage is alarmingly high.”
    • “So don't expect perfect polish, performance, or finished gameplay.”
    • “Graphics vs. performance: For visuals that are arguably less detailed than Minecraft, the GPU usage is alarmingly high.”
    • “While I won't accuse the devs of background crypto-mining, the performance draw feels wildly disproportionate to the graphics.”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Humor in the game is perceived as limited, with some players finding the repetitive gameplay more tedious than amusing, while others appreciate the amusing efficiency of certain in-game mechanics. Overall, the humor is subtle and may not appeal to everyone.

    • “The funny part is they are really efficient at planting weed; 4 or 5 cannabis workers can plant 150+ plants in a matter of minutes.”
    • “Hey guys, the game is actually really funny, but in my opinion, it's too expensive.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is tense and immersive, effectively conveying the high-stakes nature of strategic decision-making as players carefully balance expansion with safety.
