First off:
Not the best optimized game of all time, but not as bad as people make it seem. What people don't understand is that the game renders a lot - A LOT - of small parts which all have their own model and that causes more things to be rendered = less FPS.

Second off:
There is not a lot of help completing the tutorial. It took me a good 15 minutes to figure out the exact things I had to look at to complete the tutorial (You also have to go to the test drive before you complete can complete the tutorial). This could use some good rework in forms of highlights or an easy way to see your progress in the tutorial.

With that out of the way here's my review in the current state of the actual gameplay:

Overall I feel the game brings a lot of new functionallity to the game compared to the other two games in the series (CMS14/15). I'm very pleased to see that. The car models and the user interface got a great update as well but more on that in a bit.

Pros:
- Great attention to detail
Every car has had a very high level of detail. All of the other small things like there being a "No smoking" sign gives it an authentic feel.
- Great UI overall (when it doesn't bug out - which seems to happen quite a bit in the current state but giving the devs a break)
The circular display makes a great way to quickly get to everything you need. It's intuitive and I personally like it.
- Lots and lots of features and customization
There really is a lot of functionallity in the game that I am excited to try out - not too far in the progress as of yet, but just the simple things like changing the width of a tire gives a lot to the game and I'm very happy to see this among all of the other features.

Cons:
- Settings?
There is virtually no game settings other than language, video and audio. You can't change the sensetivity, keybinds, fov, etc. This might be the most infuriating part of the game at the moment. They per default enable mouse accelleration - it's almost to the point where I just want to wait until the give us the option to change this. VERY unhappy with the lack of settings!
- Optimisation
It's a bit annoying to run around your garage and every time you look at a car your FPS drops to 50% of what it was. I know there are a lot of small parts but I could image that not everything has to be rendered all the time you're looking at the car from afar? Just a guess but really annoying.
- BUGS! Yes there a quite a bit of bugs in the game - that is to be expected with every new release, though some a quite infuriating..
Here are the most common I've managed to experience:
- UI going completely black when leaving assembly-mode - when leaving the car.
- Sometimes when switching to another mode can leave you in a blurred vision until you get a new dialog up on your screen and you can't move.

UPDATE:
Honest oppion on the game in the current state? They have already fixed so that the bugs don't appear as often as it did a couple of hours after release. It's a lot better already and I'm actually enjoying the game now.

Great game overall. It's addictive and when you get further into the game you unlock some cool things.

I have stopped playing the game now because of this:

- Start PC
- Didn't bother opening Steam
- Open AdVenture Capitalist
- Buy stuff
- Make a sh*t ton of money
- Shut down

Repeated for like a month

- Open Steam
- Open AdVenture Capitalist
- Loaded from my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Steam Cloud!
- Back to start
- Me saying "♥♥♥♥ this"
- Uninstall

Bought this game in a bundle (http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/fully-loaded-bundle/ - until febuary 4th) and for what i paid it's totally the money worth. The gameplay is decent but it's very repetitive in the long run but it still have some good features:
Pros:
- Good storytelling (I liked it so much I can say I played the whole story in my first time opening the game (took me.. yeah look at the hours played)
- Quite a challenge if you go for the hard difficulty and enemies kill you very fast witch I really enjoyed even though failing over and over again could be annoying in the long run
Cons:
- Repetative, you kill the guards in the same ways over and over again
- The story could use some more places to go (what I mean is there is only 3 (4) missions outside the sanctuary)
- Quite some waiting for the guards to finish a conversation and to look away

Rating:
9/10 for the price i paid
Probably 3.5/10 for the price of 45€
