ContractVille

Nope, I cannot recommend this game. Has a lot of fun ideas and potential but marred by half-baked implementation in every single way. The final straw for me was watching an NPC worker carry a piece of disassembled furniture 3 blocks away from the box truck I had parked at the job site and just drop it off in the middle of the road. A rank 5 start employee. I'm just done. That's just one example of how every facet of this game is just half implemented, and every time they employ a "fix", it introduces probably another 20 bugs you have to contend with. At version 1.0, they somehow bugged the GPS system so hard that it has made logistic jobs (you know, the job where you have to drive from point A to point B with cargo) so incomprehensibly frustrating to do due to the fact that the GPS just stops working a quarter of the way into your trip, tells you to go on the wrong side of the highway to get to your destination, and just tells you to go in the most asinine way possible to your destina...

I did give this game some time after full release to see if it would get any better and it didn't. As a person who owns a ton of interior design games and apps, this game literally sucks. Everything is hard to do for no reason, there's a ton of walking back and forth to your vehicle and that is what I spent most of my time in this game doing, the few other things I was able to do such as cleaning up old furniture, I get you want the realistic feel but this goes way beyond that. Who packs 1 item into a box, when cleaning out old stuff? No one! This made cleaning out 1 room of furniture take 3 in game days! Boxing up 1 item at a time and making 3 trips (because your little tuktuk is way too small to fit more than a couple of boxes. Then there's the house with a car in the driveway so you have to park on the street and hence comes the walking game. When this game first came out into EA I was super excited then realized at that time there was no controller support. I feel like games like t...

Its fine.. i guess. Everything feels overly cumbersome though. Finding Specific information for missions, and where to get the materials from on any given mission is annoying. Cleaning anything at all is actually terrible. You have to swing the camera around to clean the surface with the tool you're using causing vertigo/motion sickness. I couldn't finish the tutorial mission at all due to these things.

After hours playing this game and despite the many updates and the full release, it just leaves me with a bitter aftertaste. It has great potential but it is insanely frustrating in its mechanics and choices. After fighting to overcome the unstable multiplayer mode with a friend before the full release, I came back after the garage update thinking it would make it enjoyable again for me, but I cannot comprehend why they designed it this way. Why would you, in a building sim, not make the garage a room of its own in a house? Why make it an object? An object with predetermined size and style nonetheless... It is truly both disappointing and a very odd choice for this game. This alone obviously isn't the whole issue there is and the devs look like they are still actively working on the game, but that is it for us, there's just no will to play it anymore.

Awesome game. Way better than i thought when i bought the game. However, if i gotta give any negatives, it must probably the performance.... for me... it lags alot... and i gotta have everything low... and even then it lags a bit...

I bought this game when it was priced at $29.99 with a 55% discount. I paid $13.49. A week later it sells for a regular price of $9.99. I was refused a refund for the difference. This game is not worth $13 and barely worth $10. Game takes too long to complete builds. Once plans for the build are made you cannot change or move a door/window to fit better.

Good value for money. Good time waster. Decent longevity in terms of 100% completion. Great MP game

Don't recommend playing with controller in 4k settings on TV as all the UI is almost impossible to read at more than a meter away from the TV which makes controller play on TV pretty pointless. I've wanted to play this for so long but until a UI scale slider is implemented its just not feasible for my set up. Otherwise controller support is very well implemented and well thought out, but If Xbox and PS consoles are on the roadmap then the UI definitely needs attention ASAP. For the very limited time of game play I put up with it did seem fun and I would love to play again once these issues are dealt with. Not happy leaving a down vote but there isn't a "meh" option on Steam. Refunding for now but would buy again if these things are sorted out.

I spent hours building a house and realized forgot a door during planning. so I had to not only restart whole building, but also had to make whole plan from scratch :)

Can't use the pool you purchase, servers suck, demolition is boring, car physics blow, slow leveling, boring character creation, and worst of all my friend's character looks UGLY.
