I binged the game for 3 days and hit the prestige school rank.
Very fun game and very addictive.
On my 3rd playthrough and having a blast
Decently replayable
Pain Points
I still don’t think 11years is long enough.
I wish they added more challenges/new things after the 10/11 year mark.
I’m around year 5 and the game is stuttering like crazy.
The game is very fun but unplayable with the performance issues.
