The tutorial opens up the game for everyone. After that, you can really decide for yourself how challenging you want the game to be. You can use freeplay (and still get achievments) to build a small, low risk production and just make enough to profit and progress, or you can make a bit more risky but huge factory that spits out 50-100+ products a week. If you follow the campaign the game will naturally become harder and harder, so that is of course also a way to go, if you seek a challenge.

☼ Graphics ☼
Pretty cute but still practical art style, the characters in the campaign does look a bit weird / out of style to me though.

♬ Music ♬
There is like 5 different tracks constantly playing in the background, and most of them do sound a bit weird to me. This of course helps to add to the uniqueness of the game, but i would like it if other music was added, e.g. without the weird flute and maybe a tad more upbeat. I think an option to choose which types of music is played would be nice, and also to add more songs and a way to skip songs.

☠ Difficulty ☠
Well at least for me, the game is pretty easy to get going with after you complete the tutorial, but it follows a linear path and gets harder and harder, the more ambitious you get. If you're fine with making 5000G a week, then it is pretty easy. If you want to make 50000G a week, you have to set up a huge factory, with a looot of workers, and complex logistics.

§ Bugs §
Sometimes the storage racks are a bit annoying, but they can be debugged by manually overriding them or moving them away and then moving them back. In the worst case you can destroy them and build a new one. Sometimes there are a few other small bugs, but nothing serious. The game is also still in early access, so these bugs are really not something they should be punished too much for.
☐ Bugs destroy the game
☐ Lots of bugs
☑ Few Bugs
☐ You can use them for speedrun
☐ Nothing encountered

☯ Story ☯
There is a little story in tutorial/campaign mode, it isn't much, but it isn't really important anyways. The game incentivizes you to build a successful business more than to follow a story line for line.

۞ Game time / Length ۞
☐ Really short (0 - 3 hours)
☐ Short (4 - 8 hours)
☑ Few hours (10 - 20 hours) [if you focus on the campaign]
☑ Long (40-60 hours) [if you go to freeplay and build the biggest factory possible, and make all the possible products, but since there are different maps, you could repeat this over 4-5 times]
☐ Very Long (61-100 hours)
☐ Extremely Long (101+ hours)

$ Price / Quality $
The current price is a fair price, but it is of course a better deal if you wait for a sale.

At the moment this game is not worth the money. Here are my reasons why:

1.The UI (User Interface) is simply too annoying to use, and it slows down gameplay a lot!
2. There are several bugs that need to be fixed, e.g i couldn't unscrew the oil drain plug on the VW Golf (i can't rememeber the ingame name) And yes, i know that bugs are to be expected when the game is just released, but come on, they shovel in money on DLC and the core game, so why can't they just hire some testers to report bugs? Come on...

Here is my advice to the developer:
Please PLEASE add the hotkeys from CMS2015 and make a UI tab under settings, where the player can change whether he/she wants the graphical, mouse controlled UI, or the nice easy to use hotkeys.
Also it could be nice to be able to hire more mechanics, so that you could fix more cars, and have a higher flow of money, or just hire a helper to do the boring work (change tyres on rims and balance rims and similar tasks)

but atleast just BRING THE HOTKEYS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
