There's obviously pros and cons to every game, this is one of them. Look, there's very big things to change. Progression: it feels like I'm making ZERO progress at all. I understand with these kinds of games they're supposed to "take your time" and "be considerate with your actions" but it constantly feels like I'm racing against the clock. The clock goes way too fast, in turn I only get done 2 repairs each day. In turn it makes me feel very panicked because "oh no what if I keep the window open by 12 oh no oh no" and it doesn't feel fun. The mouse movement is...janky. I understand I'm playing on a Macbook (eugh) but perhaps the same would apply to a PC. It feels way too slow especially considering you need to hold and click a coupel of times to get the screws out. It doesn't feel enjoyable to actually play. I see this game with a lot of potential, hell I've always wanted a game like this. Despite me not playing the demo (I heard reviews of the demo) it does seem like some things have changed. Would I recommend it in this stage? No, not YET. It basically came out today (wow) but please do give it time and perhaps this review will change.
The game itself is good and I find the gameplay enjoyable and relaxing. I would have recommended this game to any cozy game enjoyer; however, considering the use of GenAI, I just cannot recommend it. The use of GenAI is inexcusable in my opinion, even if it was made by an outside contractor as the dev has stated.
[i] [b] Un juego tranquilo y relajante ambientado en el Tokio de los años 2000, donde te dedicas a reparar electrodomésticos y consolas de videojuegos retro. [/b] Si disfrutaste la demo, creo que puedes comprar la versión completa sin miedo, ya que básicamente es la misma experiencia, pero con más contenido. [b] > Lo que lo hace especial: [/b] Lo que diferencia a este juego de otros simuladores de desmontaje es la variedad de dispositivos, centrada especialmente en móviles y consolas retro, y su nivel de dificultad relativamente fácil. Aunque los nombres son ligeramente diferentes, no hace falta ser un experto para reconocer consolas que claramente recuerdan a PSP, PlayStation, Game Boy o Nintendo DS. Aunque sus componentes están simplificados, puedes desmontarlas completamente. Desmontar esas máquinas que tantos recuerdos nos traen, limpiarlas y reemplazar las piezas dañadas mientras escuchas una música tranquila resulta sorprendentemente relajante y fácil de disfrutar durante horas. La dificultad también está muy bien pensada para quienes no suelen jugar este tipo de simuladores. Después de retirar una pieza, los siguientes tornillos que debes quitar aparecen resaltados, y la limpieza o el reemplazo de componentes también puede indicarse con marcadores. Incluso si empiezas a reparar una máquina, puedes cambiar a otra en cualquier momento, así que si te faltan piezas o no sabes cómo desmontar algo, puedes dedicarte a otras tareas. A menos que ocurra algo extremadamente raro, creo que incluso los principiantes podrán ganar dinero poco a poco y mejorar su taller sin demasiados problemas. [b] Por ahora, el ritmo del juego me parece bastante bueno. Puedes pasar un buen rato desmontando tus consolas favoritas, ganar dinero y utilizarlo para desbloquear la siguiente licencia, repitiendo el proceso sin que se vuelva aburrido. Si te gusta la idea de ir mejorando poco a poco la eficiencia de tus reparaciones mientras piensas "¿Qué demonios tuvo que pasar para que esto acabara cubierto de tanto polvo...?" este juego es para ti.

Revoking keys from legit resellers like GMG is not a good look for you guys. This is not a good hill to die on.
I'm so disappointed in this game, as I was so excited for it. I played the hell out of the demo, but only after buying the full game did I realize it utilizes a TON of AI art in its character art. None of the original sketches they have provided to prove their "innocence" match the finished product. They have drastically different art styles and designs. While I don't believe all art in the game is AI art, the character art and banner are most certainly generated. What bothers me the most are the attempts to hide it and not admit to their usage of generative AI, especially when the game does not need it and the mechanics are genuinely so fun. But I refuse to support exploitative ventures into generative AI.
Chill & nostalgia Dear Steam, please add UNLOCK-TOOLKIT so we can update our games ourselves
The best feature you could add to this game is upgrading your shop. i want to earn a lot and move from a shack into progressively larger shops. maybe customize my isles, add an elevator see people walking around in the shop. so far the game is great but you could even add these features into an expansion bundle. people would be willing to pay for that if it introduces a lot of things. it also keeps the game fresh!
I tried this game out when the demo released because I just wanted to play something to zone out and unwind. I immediately found that in this game. Now with the full game out, I am definitely not disappointed. Lots of different electronics to work on and a variety of ways to decorate them/your shop. There are also different stories to get to go through so it gives you something to look forward to; Finding out what happens next lol. I do wish that you could look back on the dialogue in case you accidentally skip it. Maybe can add that on later? xD
this game was a gift from a friend so ill just say this wasn't my own money spent. its a fun game .....till I realised alot if not all the art is AI ....its so fricken disappointing to see this because I really enjoyed my time on it. its not hard to hire real artists guys come on...
The game uses undisclosed generative ai in its visuals and marketing material. Don't buy if you don't wish to support ai.
