### 1/5 — Incredibly disappointed

*2026-08-07*

Never seen these devs use so much ai. There was a ton of creativity and thought put into the older games, and this feels lifeless 💔

**Developer response:** Hi there! Only the store icon and home screen uses AI art, but we appreciate your feedback on our marketing. Note that the game itself is completely handcrafted! Please consider revising your review to be about the game itself, and not the marketing for it.

### 3/5 — J’attends plus

*2026-08-05*

Pas mal pour un début, je joue depuis très longtemps au jeu de famille mais la plupart son anglais il faudrait penser à mettre d’autres langues c’est pas gênant mais penser à diversifier, j’ai remarqué un petit problème dans le jeu on ne peut pas emboîter les objets l’un sur l’autre en gros je ne peux pas mettre de lampadaire sur une table mais comme le jeu vient de sortir j’attends de voir une évolution, le boulot de nos personnages son à revoir le manque d’argent est problématique j’attends beaucoup du jeu.

### 1/5 — It Would’ve Been a Nice Game If It Was Better Balanced

*2026-08-04*

It’s a nice game, but my people are always getting sick, and the medication is way too expensive. No one can afford it with only a $6 salary. If they’re not sick, then I have to hire an exterminator instead for this and that.

It would be much better if I could choose the medicine based on what illness they have, like in the older Virtual Families games. Right now, it feels like you have to earn a huge amount of money just to keep everyone healthy, which makes the game more frustrating than enjoyable.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! You can access tutorials at any time by tapping the "Tutorials" button in the Settings menu! We're compiling all feedback and bug reports from players during this early release period, so the developers can review and implement any necessary fixes and changes. We hope you continue to have fun with your Virtual Families!

### 2/5 — Too many bugs, ui too small, inventory is too small on the right

*2026-07-30*

Can place multiple same items after buying once, cant place bathroom again once deleted, cant hang towels due to walls disappearing, directions not really clear once entering the neighbor- especially after entering the house didnt know how to get out, unclear of the year

### 5/5 — 식량

*2026-07-18*

너무 재밌습니다! 근데 식량은 어디서 구매하나요!?

### 1/5 — Do not waste your time. Seriously.

*2026-07-18*

Before you read further, this game is a waste of time. This is ONLY, ONLY a short term game. Don’t spend a single PENNY on this game. DO NOT, no matter how “affordable” it sounds, you won’t get anything. 
Ive given this many tries after playing religiously all of the other games they have produced. For a game that tried to emphasize on “generations” they do a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE job. Families trees disappear completely after a generation, and your 50 year old virtual family member will still appear as a baby 1 generation later. They don’t offer refunds, and they are a SCAM!!!! Scam scam SCAM. No update to user interface once any kid is born, so you can’t go back and reflect on all your hard work and story building, because by the time the “natural” times passed, they are still a simple baby image, and they will get erased as soon as you make progress.  this game is the worst is this entire lineup they have. Lazy developers. Don’t give them anymore money until they bother to fix it because they are LAZY!!!! Don’t release a game until it’s ready for your “customers” to enjoy. It’s disgusting.

### 4/5 — Confused on how to buy food

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.9*

Love the game so far but I have no idea how to purchase food for the family can anyone help me out?

### 3/5 — It’s alright

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.9*

Nothing compared to virtual families 2

### 3/5 — Not saving my progress

*2026-07-16*

Lately the game has not been saving my progress. For example when my son got married it didn’t save and then when I renovated the home and added rooms it didn’t save either. It’s been frustrating having to do it all over again. Please fix this as soon as possible. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much :)
