A little gem.
What an absolutely enjoyable experience! This is a tycoon-ish indie business sim which manages to hit the right switches for me. Managing a tiny ganjiistan micronation - literally starting in your parents basement - and developing it into a giant sprawling weedpire is about as fun as it sounds. There are many small minigame-like elements to selecting, growing, optimising and selling your product in this game, but it never feels too mobile-gamey nor does it ever become a hassle - you can automate most things over time and spend your time doing what you like best. The storyline is actually fairly engaging, characters and dialogue better than expected and the scenarios are well planned and executed. My only heartache is the fact that there are not that many scenarios, and no real sand-box stage. Some very few of the storyline "missions" can feel contrived and pointless - why a mission to grow a specific strain and sell x amount of it, when I already have a better one doing fairly well - but overall way too few of those compared to fun ones to subtract any from the game. I'll finish up by mentioning the absolutely fantastic graphics and music. Exquisite, thematically well put together and awesome. The graphical look and feel - while not at all photorealistic - is just well designed. It all fits. It looks nice. And the "tactile" feedback from performing certain actions - you just feel that someone has spent time making everything nice. No glitches or errors (I have had one single CTD - which is way better than average games today). Laptop ran fairly hot - it takes a few resources but ran well. I wish there were more scenarios, and I wish there was a true sand box scenario - but these are not complaints, merely the same kind of regret one has after eating something fantastic. You just wish there was a bit more... For 15€ this is a perfectly priced and made snack you wish was a meal.
