Real Life: The Full Review

[Aurore]

Real life has many problems as a game. The grinding is awful. You have to spend 90% of your time engaged in pointless activities designed to enrich other players who spend most of their time sitting on their asses, simply to get enough ingame resources to continue playing.

That means that for the majority of the population of any teritory you spend so much time doing something you dont want to do that you dont have a lot of time for anything else.

The very unfair and often irreversible random starting conditions are a terrible flaw as well. If your startup has few resources, whilst it is possible for some skille dor lucky players to overcome the handicap, others startup with vast resources and have a totally different play experience.

I understand that in the past there have been PVP attempts to correct this, one in a territory called france and another in Russia, with varying degrees of success. No one has however been able to make the system even close to fair for any length of time.

Yes, the interface is great, yes the available options are *in theory* great, though most people dont get access to them, but the rules are very badly thought out, and the game is horribly unbalanced economically, politically, and as I said before, the grind makes almost any other game more appealing.

Avoid!
