Many reviewers feel that the game lacks depth in its political and economic systems, and the absence of multiplayer options exacerbates its issues. Overall, while the game offers a unique simulation experience, its execution leaves much to be desired, prompting calls for a complete redesign.

    • “Yes, it does indeed have some bugs, but I haven't found any that majorly impact the gameplay.”

    • “Gameplay is repetitive.”
    • “For the love of god, do something about bugs because the game is great but unplayable due to those weird situations during gameplay.”
    • “The advisor system is also flawed; it's not engaging or fun, serves no gameplay purpose, and is just annoying to have popping up on your screen every 2 seconds.”
  • stability
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with many users reporting persistent bugs, crashes, and freezing issues that have plagued multiple editions over the years. While some players have experienced brief periods without crashes, the overall sentiment is that the game remains fundamentally broken, with developers seemingly neglecting necessary fixes. Despite its unique simulation offering, the game's technical shortcomings make it a poor investment for many.

    • “Don't buy this, the game is fundamentally broken, which is somewhat understandable given the scale of the simulation they went for, but the real problem is that the devs aren't even working on fixing anything.”
    • “This game is too buggy to justify its price.”
    • “It's just sorely let down by the god awful graphics, horrible UI decisions, buggy text, bad additional scenarios, and a horrible modding scene.”
  • graphics
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for being outdated and reminiscent of early 2000s titles, with many users describing them as clunky and akin to a mobile browser game.

While some players prioritize gameplay over graphics, the consensus is that the visuals detract from the experience, leading many to recommend waiting for discounts before purchasing.

    • “It has improved in many areas such as stability and graphical improvements, but best of all are the new features that keep being added!”
    • “But still, it is a good game. I bought it to support the developers. I hope they will make GPS5 much better with new UI, graphics, better optimization, and voice acting.”
    • “It may have some bugs and the graphics that are from 2000 may be a problem for some players, but still, this game is a category of its own.”
    • “They publish the same game every single year with graphics like it's a browser game for mobile, aren't fixing bugs (not even the bugs from the past games are being fixed in the 'new' game) and take an amount of it as if it was a high-end flight simulator that took the best developers years to publish.”
    • “This game is full of bugs, lags, poor graphics, and sometimes unrealistic events.”
    • “It's just sorely let down by the god awful graphics, horrible UI decisions, buggy text, bad additional scenarios, and (for the $15 you pay to access mods) a horrible modding scene.”

    • “Its been a decade and this game still has the same bugs and absolutely crap optimization.”
