I feel the same. The game is so far off from the initial premise I don't know what to think. I think it should stayed a corruption game where you corrupt other parties with the drug and try to be the ceo(?) of the company and make the second game which would be a management game.Am I the only one who feels that with each update the game falls apart a bit more? It's gone from a relatively stream-lined, nice to play "corrupt people with magic drugs" thing to "but randomly you can also do pointless escort jobs" to now also having this entire slave training/selling thing - which, okay, is what the Company does narratively, but gameplay-wise feels rather tagged on; and most of the "redesign" like the character routes I can't say made a perceptible impact on me, while stuff like endlessly repeated random events or weird narrative continuities depending on the order of things you go ahead with haven't been improved since forever ...
Not like I'm saying it's awful or anything, just. It's only not awful because it wasn't awful 2 years ago either, and trending should be upwards with developments (the occasional bump downwards is of course expected and fine ^^; ).
I think the game is a mess right now and i don't like where this is going for a year now.
It is not a good think to say but i think the game is on a milking status. There is too much drugs introduced and idk why, there is too many management introduced and idk why. And I think there is not much going on with the story to be honest. I don't know what purpose does pit/slaves etc. serve in the context of the story.
the game is trying to be Lab Rats kinda game i guess?
I'm not trying to be on anyone's bad side, it is just so much different from the game i backed up in 2017.
