    • “Really fun and addictive gameplay and just different enough from similar store operation simulator games (now being able to run not one but multiple different stores against your friends) to make this a super great time!”
    • “The spawning of items far from the shops after the patch ruined the game's gameplay; you spend half an hour waiting for things to be restocked, and even if you hire 5 employees, they are very slow.”

    • “I just bought the game and tried to play singleplayer and somehow the graphics, controls, store type, and gameplay loop seem to have gotten significantly worse since I played the demo.”

    • “It comes down to the small stuff like you not being able to pick any shop off the rip, the graphics and overall feel getting worse, and it feels like core features such as shelving and storing stock just got worse and feels less polished than the demo.”
    • “Art style is ripped straight from Schedule 1 without any of the charm.”
    • “The book, board games, and CD covers were all AI-generated, as well as the billboards and achievement 'artworks' (AI is not art).”
