Progression +1.77 · Leveling, unlocks and gear — is growth rewarding or a grind?
“starke Motivation vom Aufbau der Produktionskette” (22)
很不错的游戏,制作方也很用心一直在优化,游戏逻辑,玩法设计上有点像商业创业版的Sims,游戏流畅度,建模质量方面也很不错,玩法上来说从自己跑货开的第一家店面到完善产业链形成一条龙运营体系,会产生强烈的想做大做强继续玩下去的动力,但是随着自己商业版图的扩张玩到中后期游戏内容就有点同质化了,希望后续能出DLC来丰富游戏内容增添更多的玩法。总的来说,这款游戏值得一玩 个人小建议,1.能不能弄一个出租车24小时直接呼叫或者整一个司机员工岗位安排开购买的豪车,都当老板了也没个司机,而且再贵的车也没出租车方便 2.自己买的游艇邮轮能不能多些用途,比如买的邮轮也能 出海 3.可不可以多人游戏,跟好友打商战 4.财富自由了能不能多一点消费消遣方式等等 头一次写评测我也只是玩了34小时如果有没说全或说错的大家可以给我指正一下 祝这游戏能越做越好,也祝能读到这的玩家老爷们生活顺心-v-
