Loads a lot of assets and it's relatively laggy to how small the map I've managed to play (around the release of the game and today)
With optimization this might be a fun game, but when FPS shooter feels laggy it's not worth the time.

So far it's one of the best games on sbox but that doesn't really make it a big achievement.
There's clear promise and path but so far the world feels empty and there's really no goal.
In My Summer Car you have a clear path - fix a car, explore world with actual NPCs and have funny sandbox interactions (for example being run over by a car or fighting with bare fists.) My summer cottage offers just set of minigames not really a game per se - money couldn't be spent on anything that's worth collecting funds.
It has decent controls but fishing system could look more like the one in Stardew Valley - this one when you just move mouse left and right feels???? unfinished and not intuitive.
There were a lot of popping trees and flickering "blue rectnagles" during driving at high speed, but that could be flaw in S&box engine. It's a solid base but clearly needs polish and actual desire to build in it. (world is too big compared to content or it needs to be filled with it)
It needs feature - ability to sell multiple items in inventory should be mandatory (Let's say I promote myself to cases that no longer drop light blues) Then I'm left with junk that I have to tradeup fully, but if there are let's say 9 remaining LB's, then I have to click sell 9 times.
Trade up page needs SORT BY feature from INVENTORY section. - Currently you need to browse around entire inventory in tradeup section without any kinds of filters so purples are next to blues or light blues. Annoying when doing mass tradeups. There could be extra way to sort them, like via float since skin quality depends on Float Value
When giving review I'm around Legendary Case (Silver 1 Rank). There needs to be more features, for example special showcase for collection acquired. instead of saying. You collected X out of 52.
