Conversely, others appreciate the graphics in specific titles, noting them as beautiful and engaging, particularly in the context of managing a gym. Overall, there is a consensus that significant improvements are needed to enhance the visual quality and reduce technical issues.
“Gym Simulator 24 provides a fairly engaging experience with beautiful graphics and minimal technical issues, especially during the initial phases of building a gym and managing a business.”
“Game has heaps of potential and what's there for the most part works well & it is a fun experience.”
“It would be great if some further aesthetically enhancing changes would be made at some point in the future; TVs that are able to be turned on or off rather than just being blank boxes on the walls, more gym equipment, and being able to hire more than one staff member, for example.”
“After a very boring experience, I would not recommend this game to anyone because it has the worst graphics and way too many bugs. I will never play this game again.”
“If you are looking for an overpriced game with bad graphics, this is your game. Or if you love to play with bugs, by all means, go ahead!”
“So, I didn't really get to play much of this because the amount of graphic stutters and one-second freezes kept me from progressing. This has me at 50/50 on this simulator.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players finding it addictive and enjoyable, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth after a few hours. Many users express a desire for more customization options, additional mechanics, and community events to enhance engagement. Overall, while the core gameplay loop has its merits, it currently feels limited and in need of further development.
“The game is very addictive with its gameplay.”
“It's a fairly enjoyable gameplay loop, from mopping up sweat to spraying someone with antiperspirant right in the eyes while they're bench pressing because they smell bad.”
“Has potential but needs a lot more options to hire personal trainers, security, etc. More options to customize floors, walls, etc., and expand the business a lot further. Currently, you will max out everything in about 3 to 6 hours of gameplay with no more room for growth, but to be fair, they keep updating daily and making improvements.”
“Absolutely awful game, terrible and boring. Awful mechanics and no fun at all here.”
“Once you get to about level 20 (8 hours or so of gameplay), there isn't much left to do.”
“Has potential but needs a lot more options. Hire personal trainers, hire security, etc. More options to customize floors, walls, etc., and expand the business a lot further. Currently, you will max out everything in about 3-6 hours of gameplay with no more room for growth.”
