“8/10 – I built a luxury hotel, hired a chef with Michelin dreams, and accidentally created a hallway traffic jam of angry guests in bathrobes. Designing rooms is relaxing… until the critics arrive. Chaos, spreadsheets,…”

“It's a little gem of a game. I was skeptical about it because it seemed kind of basic but ended up going for all the extra achievements after completing the main campaign. Even though decoration is part of it, you won't…”

“Once you've completed the Paris Scenario and reached 5 stars rating, it's clear sailing from there. Vegas is my favorite. However, regularly check on the Casino Overview screen. A customer took me for $40,000 at the…”

“Is it worth the $30 new price tag?? No, id wait for a sale when it's $15-20. The devs seem hard set on this price tag, it seems like greed to me given the game has made a 1.1-1.5 milliom already. Two point Museum has so…”

“Love this game. Easy to navigate and challenging at times. I only had a bug with my first New York playthrough where the critic was stuck at 0 days and no guests were arriving.”
“Definitely needs some bug fixes and I'm hoping that they add more stuff in the future like locations and roomtypes but it's an entertaining game and I would definitely reccomend.”

The pathing of your worker NPCs, like cleaners, are terrible. There could be a laundry room right next to a bedroom, but the cleaners will still travel to a far away…”
