gameplay loop is very stale, 88mins and i feel like i've experienced the entirety of the game: rent a business -> stock shelves -> ffwd time -> repeat

obviously there's more to it with elements like employee management and expanding into different business areas, but what's the point of expanding if it's the exact same loop? there's no distinction between selling cheap gift shop knick-knacks or fresh food - it's just a box and maybe a different display model. the life sim mechanics are interesting but feel like they were tacked on to give the game the illusion of depth. what's the point in me creating a character if there's no social aspect to the game? so i could watch my character sleep?

ultimately the game just lacks any sort of depth. once you've played for an hour you've pretty much done everything - all that's left is to do it over and over and over again.
