    Hometown Story is charming on first glance, but there are a lot of problems that overshadow it.

    Shows some potential, but ultimately uninspiring. [Issue#149, p.122]

    Hometown Story’s attempts at setting up an involving store management game end up falling in a tiresome, repetitive and often difficult to understand challenge, where the rules are not clear and where aspects which are logic in everyday life gain a completely illogical dimension in the game. While the beginning may be alluring enough to bring some players in, the game will quickly wear out those with higher expectations.
