Management-games are probably the most interesting genre of adult games.
PE is not the best management-game out there, but it is still incredibly ambitious, quality-title, with an especially good visual fidelity for this genre.
Like most management-games out there, some stuff is just incidentally broken. There's a lot of interconnected systems that don't necessarily work together: Automating production sometimes borks, models being "unavailable" operates on programmer-logic, meaning it's easy to exploit, and sex-scenes are seemingly built with the intention to just make the player set up whatever poses they want to see.
But the fantasy that the game offers is powerful, and most games don't let you have a sandbox this deep, with art that's this good, never mind the occasional clipping of clothes. Even if it is ultimately in the service of making the green numbers go up. (Every econ-sim player's True fetish)
