First off, I love this game, it's one of the few "management" games that I actually played and enjoyed my time (Retro Rewind and TCG Card Shop are the other ones).
So here's my review.
Yes this game is fun, yes this game is cool and brings a new breath of fresh air to this genre (that's getting way too stale), yes this game will get you playing for hours, [b] HOWEVER [/b] after you get through Park 4 Stars and Park 5 Stars the game becomes a "start a new day, wait for the day to end, repeat".
I dunno what the ♥♥♥♥ they did to the progression here, but back on BETA my first park had 91 days and I had full luxury stuff and basically 100% of the researches done, but now after it's release? pff a whole day (including night shift) only gives you 7~8 points (and 100k a day if you minmax your earnings), and they've increased all research costs and filled it with filler ♥♥♥♥ that you are obligated to get (like if you want Luxury Toilets you NEED to unlock the Pressure Washer first).
I am now 113 days with my new park, over $2m on my bank, and waiting for research points (5~8 a day) to actually build the ♥♥♥♥♥♥' park.
[b]TL;DR[/b]
The game became way too grindy after reaching 4 stars park to the point where you'll literally just open the park, leave it afk, going to bed and repeating the process.
Enjoy the game while you are actually playing it, after 4 stars you'll do nothing (at 5 stars you'll do even less waiting for research points).
[h3]EDIT: TO CAY, THE DEV[/h3]
I never said I dislike your game man, on my first 6 words I said that "I LOVE THIS GAME", what I dislike is the grind with no gameplay that I am stuck with, I want to build my park, but I can't, I need to go through 4~5 days just to get 1 research unlock (6 or 7 if it's 15~20 points).
This is not fun, I love your game, but the amount of pointless researches that were implemented and some without any explanation of what they do kills the joy for me.
Some examples that I can remember without having to go through everything.
The Duck Turret, I thought it would automate the "Smelly Guests" but no, it does nothing other than piss off your staff (and I play solo so w/e), the Mascot, what does it do? Why should I get one instead of an actually useful staff? There is no description as to what it actually does to my park other than dance with the guests sometimes, the Pressure Washer (that was on the Beta), WHY do I need it at 5 Stars? I already have 3 Janitors, why would I need to unlock that 5 stars? That should've been unlocked at 2 Stars to help, not at 5, another one, Mama, WHY would I get any security guard upgrade (2 and 3) when a tier 1 Mama can do everything all day and not a single "bad guest" getting through.
There are more, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Revise the order at what we unlock things and balance that, I know you can improve this game, you've already done an amazing job with it.
This is coming from someone with almost 90 hours in your game, and I will keep playing it since I am invested in make an amazing park.
I hope you see this and actually takes the feedback.
