About This GameIt's been a few years since the zombpocalypse turned the world's cities into graveyards and sent the few survivors into hiding. It's a thoughtful game that'll make you fond of your survivors before you send them to their deaths for the greater good. 
Now you must gather them up and restore civilization to a ruined city, one building at a time.Rebuild 3 is a strategy sim game with a good helping of narrative and dark humor. As you expand your fort to new buildings, you'll decide between farms or fortifications, housing or hospitals, and make tough decisions to fend off raiders, illness, starvation, and madness. And the dead are still out there wandering the streets, hungrier than ever.Rebuild 3: Gangs of Deadsville is the third of my Rebuild series, and the first one available on Steam.
So here's my thoughts. Yeah, no, this is awful. Every problem I mentioned and now there's a severe glitch screwing everyone over.
Nobody should be playing this game. It's a tedious nightmare.UPDATE:I returned to Suburbia 2 after a few months and found out more.
Firstly, they are at episode 11. But you have to pay rubies to get early access. Somewhat glad to see that they're still updating, but the ruby paywall is still heavy with this one.Only a few people were complaining about spice, but I'm seeing people complain of various other glitches here and there.
The biggest issue seems to be this; people are getting bored of the gameplay and are having a problem with the grinding it takes to make it to the next story element.I'm not surprised in the slightest. Back when I wrote the first part of this, months ago, I questioned how long a game like this could last. These 'ingredient farming' games are everywhere and this one's only perk is a story that just won't get moving.
Another thing is some sort of delivery truck thing you can do in the higher levels. I haven't reached that point yet, but a LOT of people are saying that it is not paying out high enough. From the screenshots I'm seeing, they seem about right. You have a time limit to farm plenty of recipes and then only get a small amount of cash. I wonder if this is to sell rubies, to get everything done quicker?And, just as expected, no plans to fix the first game.
The first game still says 'coming soon'.So. My final verdict is that this game is a chore. It's not even as fun as baking in real life and you have to feed it cash to get any sort of immediate reward.
Just on principle alone, I don't think you should play this game. While they're updating now, whose to say that one day they won't just abandon this one too?With the glitches and the boring mechanics, the slow story and the spice; this game just seems like a recipe for failure. If you want to try it, then be my guest, but I strongly warn against giving them money.Also, so we're on the same page.
