My Wife Threw Out My Card Collection (So I Bought a Dump to Find Them All) ⭐

“The gameplay loop is unbelievably shallow and the things you do at the start of the game you will proceed to do till the end.”

“The dog gets stuck in the air and breaks, cart mechanics do not work properly and will send items flying or just float in the air, items disappear, trash gets stuck on the ground and cannot pick it up, you cannot obtain all cards in one playthrough, bugs make it impossible to get all achievements, bounce mechanics will cause items to fly off randomly.”

“The concept is fine but game mechanics are poorly implemented and underbaked: dog is nearly useless, the shopping cart is extremely annoying to use, and the energy mechanic serves no purpose other than to make you waste 40 seconds every couple minutes.”

“Don't forget to turn on the radio, so you can listen to the garbage-themed AI rock music featuring the most grating AI vocalist and some of the most painfully unfunny lyrics (you can also pay real money to buy this soundtrack as DLC, where again it isn't disclosed).”

“The physics are incredibly buggy, the gameplay loop gets boring fast, the mechanics are set up in a way where you can literally soft-lock yourself if you don't manage your spending, and the worst of all is that there aren't even enough cards hidden in the junk to actually recover your whole set!”

“And that's barely it because what they did add was full soft locking and massive glitches, game-breaking and save file deleting broken mechanics.”

“Unfortunately the game is still buggy (mainly the trolley), bloated by mechanics for the sake of consuming your time (valuables and the storage system), and there is nothing beyond holding M1 to pick up trash, throwing the bag into the bin (why is the bin alive??), or faffing around with the trolley to try and stop your valuable items from flying out or floating in the air just so you can tidy up the lawn to find the actual collectibles your cowardly stupid dog, who is making you look bad, won't search for properly.”

“No story or ending.”

“If you actually listen to all the music they are all about the story of the game and digging through trash, but there is no actual story or mystery.”

“Tl:dr: I bought this thinking it would be a short collecting game with a basic story, narrative twist, or mystery with upwards progression, but there's no story, and the game is filled with repetition, disappointment, and very little to keep you entertained, with no payoff for collecting everything or being adventurous.”

“Why the hell would you make a game with no resolution options or graphic options?”

“Even on the highest graphics settings, the textures look very low quality, blocky and blurry, almost like placeholders.”

“Very disappointing to be honest, I was hoping to complete the collection and see all the artwork.”

“While the initial start of the game is slow, even as you progress through upgrades and gameplay, things remain extremely tedious and slow.”

“It got really tedious collecting the valuables and taking them back to sell them, having to pick each one up individually and put it in the cart.”

“There are several very large piles of trash, and each pile has few cards, so you spend hours grinding just to see a cartoon photo, which would be fine if the game was fun enough to stick with.”

“Not optimized at all, buggy as hell, can easily clean all the trash and end up with less collectibles than you need, items fall under the ground, collected cards disappear, the dog gets bugged.”

“And then there's optimization; somehow the game gets more laggy as you go on.”

“So 3 hours in and this is a fun little game if you wanna just play something and relax but everyone's pissed because the music was AI, the dev seems to have taken that out and replaced it with actual music, but make sure you have a good PC because once you start getting at least three or four garbage piles the game starts to slow down and I think it needs some optimization there; the game randomly gives me micro stutters, but besides that it's been fun with some dumb memes added for fun.”

“I knew going into this game that it was most likely an AI cash grab, but it is so much worse than the reviews made it seem.”

“Cash grab AI slop, I don't expect any of this to be changed.”

“I enjoy a lot of cleaning/sim games (Powerwash, Viscera, shop sims) and this just comes off as an extremely soulless cash grab, from a team who can't even write their own Steam page without resorting to an AI.”

“They definitely need to work on the end game, replayability, and fix some of the bugs. Also, the translation is not working correctly.”

“I don't think there's much for replayability.”
