Tavern Keeper 🍻

Great game concept, very easy to lose track of time while running the tavern - however, being capped at 2.5 stars with no way to progress in the game is not ideal. After the recent update, I was excited to move on only to see that we can hue change now. But that's about it. Would love for the game to be completed.

Feels like a nice old 2000's game, with colourful light hearted humour, lots of customisation, and not asking too much of your time. You can tell the game is made with love after a few hours, and currently there is quite a bit to do despite the campaign only being half way done. Currently it takes around 7-10 hours to finish the first 3 scenarios of the campaign/story which is respectful of your time if you just want to play here and there. Overall I'd say its a solid 8-9/10 game that has a good roadmap and gives you the supporter pack for free if you purchase currently in early access.

The game has potential, but it is nowhere near polished. There is so much to cover; I’ll try to summarize: Pros: + It is very easy to get immersed in the game quickly. + Nice graphics. + Some control elements are very intuitive. + The game features interesting combinations/requirements you must meet to progress; you have to manage several interconnected systems at once. Cons: - You can clearly feel the game is far from finished. - The game fails to explain certain things crucial for smooth progress, which is incredibly annoying. - Outright annoying mechanics that completely ruin the experience (fires, bugs, etc., occur way too often). The game literally makes me want to stop playing. - Instead of smooth progress, something is constantly breaking, and it’s totally frustrating. - The game tries way too hard to be story-driven, making it unbearably tedious. I want to PLAY, build, and create! I don’t want to deal with annoying "personalities" and stupid events every second. - Massive FPS drops when the tavern is crowded. - Bugs (stuck customers, etc.). - The game is incredibly linear. On one hand, it forces a narrative on you, but you have zero influence over the story. - It tries to be "funny and cool," but it completely misses the mark. The commentary is annoying, and even after adjusting the options, it remains irritating. - Why is it impossible to skip the intro at the start of a scenario? I don't get it. There are plenty of games that have these basic mechanics figured out even in Early Access. Instead of smooth gameplay, building, and expanding the tavern, I am constantly being interrupted—fire, brawls, bugs, lack of money, no customers, and more fire. There’s just too much of it; it wastes the game's potential. Instead of planning, the gameplay is just about reacting to these stupid events. And it doesn’t matter if I rush or focus on every detail—the result is the same. You should focus much more on balancing these mechanics so that after completing a scenario, I don’t feel like spitting on my monitor and deleting the entire game.

حلوه بس مايجوز الخمر

[h1]На момент написания отзыва игра находится в раннем доступе.[/h1] В игре вы берёте на себя роль менеджера таверны. Распределяете помещения, нанимаете персонал (у каждого есть сильные и слабые стороны, у некоторых даже есть сюжетные ветки), получаете прибыль, докупаете оборудование и нанимаете персонал (продолжать до конца уровня). Для разбавления геймплея есть сюжет, который тянется через уровни (на момент написания обзора их 3). Так же во время игры вы будете сталкиваться с различными мини-историями персонажей, в которых принимаете непосредственное участие (ваш выбор имеет последствия для истории). Первые 2 уровня прошли достаточно гладко и интересно, третий же уровень показался достаточно растянутым, душным из-за специфических условий выполнения сюжетных заданий и FPS на высокой скорости начинал подлагивать. На уровнях мне не хватало места для выставления всех желаемых предметов интерьера. Плюсов в игре больше, чем минусов, на 3-4 вечера - самое то отвлечься

Really calming game about running a tavern, very simple which I like and they do a great job of making all the taverns work uniquely from each other while still maintaining the same core game logistics, can't wait for more!
