  • gameplay
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and frustrating micromanagement, with players often feeling overwhelmed by the need to constantly direct staff and manage tasks. While the core gameplay loop is enjoyable and offers a variety of systems such as product creation and game development, many users find the experience bogged down by bugs and a lack of polish, leading to a tedious and grindy early game. Overall, the game shows potential with its interesting mechanics, but significant improvements are needed to enhance the gameplay flow and user creativity.

    • “Currently, the game includes programming contracts, prototyping products, factory production, game development, software development, marketing mechanics, sales and other special events, and tons of customization options for almost every one of these systems.”
    • “Very fun and detailed game with interesting mechanics involving product creation, game development, and platforms (the Steam/Microsoft Store/PlayStation Store of your product) with much more to come.”
    • “The game has lots of micromanagement tasks to do, and there is a good macro arc when it comes to the big picture gameplay, making for a very entertaining experience.”
    • “Instead of feeling like the owner of a company, the gameplay makes you the busybody manager who has to constantly tell the staff what to do next.”
    • “It's a very fun and entertaining game, but it can be very tedious at the start as you feel like you really need to micromanage a lot while also learning new game mechanics that can sometimes be explained with very little detail.”
    • “I feel like the current early gameplay is far too grindy and micromanagey, while the game started to shine with the hardware creation aspect.”
  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are praised for their vibrant and cute art style, contributing to a pleasant aesthetic experience. Users appreciate the clean user interface and the animated visuals, although some feel that the overall content may not be sufficient compared to similar games like Software Inc. Overall, the graphics enhance the gameplay experience, particularly for those who enjoy customization and micromanagement.

    • “The graphics are wonderful, the UI is clean, but when compared to a game like Software Inc, the content of the game is too little and a lot needs to be done to compete.”
    • “I really love the aesthetic and can't wait to dig in more.”
    • “I love the vibrant art style, and the office looks cool, maybe not so cool for my employees who need to work at the office all day and all night, but I personally love it.”
    • “It's an animated graphic galore in Chinese.”
    • “☼ graphics ☼”
    • “+ graphics”
  • grinding
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly tedious, often requiring excessive micromanagement and frequent pauses to manage tasks and inventory. While some appreciate the depth and control offered, many feel that the game's mechanics are convoluted and poorly explained, leading to a frustrating experience, especially in the early stages. Overall, the grind detracts from the enjoyment, making it difficult for players to fully engage with the game's potential.

    • “I wanted this to be more like Game Dev Tycoon, simple to pick up and play, but it had a lot of depth and was presented in a way that was not tedious.”
    • “I feel like the current early gameplay is far too grindy and micromanagey, while the game started to shine with the hardware creation aspect.”
    • “Creating a product is far too tedious; yes, you're given almost full control over everything it does, but this is not always a good thing.”
    • “It's a very fun and entertaining game, but it can be very tedious at the start as you feel like you really need to micromanage a lot while also learning new game mechanics that can sometimes be explained with very little detail.”
  • stability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes and numerous bugs that significantly detract from the experience. Many reviewers note that the game feels unfinished and abandoned by the developers, leading to frustration and a lack of enjoyment despite some potential in the core gameplay. Overall, players are advised to approach with caution, as the game's current state may render it unplayable.

    • “Unfinished game abandoned by devs and buggy to the point that it crashed quite often on me.”
    • “That I want to address is the overall state of the game, which is so annoyingly buggy and grating to the eyes that, even if you do enjoy the core gameplay loop, your patience will be tested.”
    • “The game development has been abandoned; if you purchase, do note that the game is in a very buggy state and might not be playable.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the music in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it fun and cool, and appreciating the pleasant art style. However, some reviewers note that the music could benefit from a greater variety of tracks, as the current selection feels basic and limited.

    • “The art style and music are pleasant; I have no qualms with that.”
    • “The music is cool and fun; the idea is rad, just needs some work.”
    • “The sounds are very good, but the music needs more tracks.”
    • “Gameplay is shallow, music and sound are basic.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Alvo is relatively brief, taking approximately 10 to 20 hours to complete if players focus primarily on the main narrative. The game is available on PSVR, with an Oculus Quest version set to release in March 2022.

  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed feedback; while some users report no performance issues, others express a desire for future improvements. The game operates in a desktop windowed mode rather than true full screen, which may affect user experience. As it stands, some players are hesitant to recommend it until further optimizations are made.

    • “Performance-wise, I have had no problems. Take note that the game's engine works in desktop windowed mode, not a real full screen mode.”
    • “Maybe in the future, with some changes and optimizations, I may re-buy. As it stands at the moment, though, I cannot recommend.”
    • “Maybe in the future with some changes and some optimizations, I may re-buy; as it stands at the moment though, I cannot recommend.”
    • “Performance-wise, I have had no problems; take note that the game's engine works in desktop windowed mode, not a real full screen mode.”
    • “Starting out, you’ll run a code farm, with programmers producing modules like UI and optimization for external contracts.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the monetization process confusing, with unclear interactions between various marketing strategies and platform features. Additionally, the high cost of advertising, exemplified by a $50k bid for Super Bowl ads, raises concerns about the lack of negotiation flexibility.

    • “It is hard to tell how everything runs together or what effect things have (i.e. different ads in marketing, development features on your platform, etc.)”
    • “It also only cost me $50k for my bid for Super Bowl ads for 5 days, where I was hoping for a sort of negotiation, but ended with them agreeing instantly.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The animations are great and the art keeps a calm, casual atmosphere while I play.”
