What players say
This game really sparks the joy of building in a way other games like these just kinda fail to. I think this game is just more straight forward then others. And the UI and Gameplay is really clean! "No idea is too stupid to weaponize!"

Good, only critque I have is the amount of DLCs is a lot, it would be nice if a couple would go on sale (maybe they do and I dont pay attention), also lack of basegame female avatar customization options are lacking. may not have 10/10 physics, but probably an 8.5/10. complex logic 9/10 game runs well on midrange builds, lowrange might struggle SOMETIMES, its playable on a ps4. at 40 fps.
Back when it first came out the game was fun but had absolutely no content. Took like 10 hours to complete and after that it was just boring. I figured they would push more content out and the game would be fun. Well they did BUT every new DLC costs $15 and they add maybe 5 hours of content and the content is not that good. If you want to play this game you'll need to spend like $200 to play all the content and it...
