This might sound sarcastic as hell, but I'm being very genuine when I say this is a great game for people who like are unemployed and spend all day playing job simulators. Personally, I really love the story and what they were doing with it, the pro-labor messages with a folk music soundtrack full of twangy banjos bring to mind the coal mines of Kentucky or Virginia and the struggles those poor men suffered at the hands of their greedy corporate bosses. But, man, as someone who works a full time job and has a family I enjoy spending time with, I do not have the time to fully appreciate the gameplay that has to exist for this type of story to be effective. I do have to ask myself what about this gameplay is any different from something like Powerwash Simulator, which I do love, and I have to say I think it has a lot to do with the fact that while both are job simulators, Powerwash Simulator is a lot more relaxing and therapeutic (no oxygen, jetpack fuel, or fail state, and washing things makes my brain light up with happy chemicals) while this one provides a bit more of a challenging and technically dense experience, which isn't what I want from from this type of game. Leaving it with a high rating because despite stepping away from it before running credits, I think this game nails everything it set out to do perfectly, and I think that's something to celebrate regardless of my personal feelings.
