What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Gameplay loop is satisfying, especially when you get into the groove of things, really makea you feel like an experienced, seasoned worker after a couple of weeks
Sheer scale of the Papaverse is surprisingly big with 100+ unique characters
Really fun nostalgic experience I love this game its a great time waster the gameplay loop is very satisfying but can get a bit repetitive i wish there was some optional extra difficulty like maybe more than 7 customers per day or something achievement hunting is really fun it took me about 50 hours for all of them (I know it says i only have 17 its cus most my hours are offline)
The graphics have not changed and stayed as the classic simple cartoon style we know and love.
✘ Active Online Multiplayer (meaning people will interact with you in game)
However, I really hope the devs can raise the FPS cap to 60–144 for smoother gameplay.
