I have been a fan since the demo launched, and also got to be a part of the last couple of beta tests before launch.

Game is great, but probably wait for an awesome Steam sale before purchasing.. maybe 30% or more.

Game came out with a lot of bugs, but aren't really game breaking. I have not encountered a game breaking bug, mostly graphical which is annoying.

I love to entertain myself in making a great environment in city builders, one that really feels realistic and alive. While I can do that in the game, it does take a lot of effort to do so since the pathing behaviors of the characters in game are still flawed.

You can spend hours and hours in building your pathways, entrances etc and no one would use it. The AI now has the sims using the shortest path available to go to specific places, even if it's the tiny little crevice in between school buildings.

I have found a way to prevent that by overusing bicycle parking lots, which is the effort I was talking about earlier.. But adjusting the pathing AI would do wonders... Would make all the designing and planning worth it.

If you are into just managing your school to get the maximum benefit for revenue etc, it can easily be done if you want to.. But game can be over in 3-4 hours this way.

If you want to spend hours and hours planning and designing like I did, don't bother. Game is a 10 hour game max. I have spent 129 hours on this game just to end up being frustrated because my sims aren't going to the paths and doorways I set out for them unless I block off tiny crevices in the most awkward of ways.

I am still recommending the game because it is a lot of fun when you start, I am hoping that Pathing updates are done and as well asset editor updates are done.

Once the game gets a much patch on some of the stuff it offers, I will come back and play more.
