while the game is beautiful and the outfits are well designed, the game is incredibly poorly optimised which makes playing it a slog. Having been a player since the game released, I'm disappointed to see how the game has gotten more and more unplayable with each update. It used to run perfectly with max graphics but now chugs at the lowest graphics. I hope the game fixes the optimisation issues rather than just adding new areas. The game is incredibly expansive, it does not need more areas added. What the game needs is optimisation fixes beyond anything else. Until those issues are fixed, I don't think the game will be very enjoyable to anyone who doesn't have a super high end PC
As someone with a gross amount of time in this game I have to say I really regret it. I was really excited for this game at first at first but the issues are just too much. In no particular order: -Quantity (that no one asked for) over quality is the standard -The entire game economy is problematic and encourages paid play because with ftp it is not possible to complete 5 star outfits. Inflation on fake outfits is wild -The story is an unengaging and messy, ret conned hodgepodge. I don't even pay attention to it anymore and wish I could just skip it -If a mechanic exists they will slap it in the game whether it works/makes sense or not. Have you played x game? Well we put that in too! -Each major update is basically a reskin of the entire game in a new setting. It feels like purgatory where you are never meant to make any measurable progress -When the game first came out skin tone was treated as makeup and would reset to default anytime you did anything. Still to this day outfit previews will not use your chosen skin tone and skin tone is still in the makeup category -This game is a poorly optimized bloated cash grab. Each update further ruins performance to the point where a basic update will crash my machine and yes I am well above the recommended specs. I have to verify files every time I attempt to play. My crash today was the last straw. I am freeing up the 100+ Gigs of storage that this disappointment takes up. This game is a prime example of what is wrong with modern gaming and it is sad. Not even getting into the possible AI usage. I know this review won't change the tide of games like this but I can at least stop participating.
bloated game didnt fit on my computer anymore. also lagged quite badly. approaching 100gb if i remember correctly? simply not worth it anymore for how much the game has gotten worse in optimization and story. free game, yes, but the cost to your hard drive and the waste of time it will ultimately be in the end? no. used to be pretty good but fell off. if considering the game, perhaps come back later to see if its been fixed. unlikely, but possible. and if it does get fixed to how it was before then i would reccomend. but now? no.
