    • “The game is good, I like simulator games that are online multiplayer so I can play with friends, but this game is sooo buggy.”
    • “There is still a lot of content missing, so it's too early to give a final verdict on how much long-term fun it will be, but we had fun playing multiplayer for 1-2 hours until we had to quit due to the current buggy state.”
