negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bought this at least a year ago, saw that it was unpolished so i set it aside to wait for updates, but those updates never came
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly, I have to not recommend this, despite the hours I put into it. There are some positives to it, the core gameplay loop in engaging enough that I want to keep doing another day, but there are a lot of problems that leave me rather frustrated. Positives: - Early game serving beer and keeping up on cleaning is engaging and fun. - Crafting beer is fun (Although it has flaws), it is nice to go through the steps. - Going back and forth between these stages is a nice contrast, crafting…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-10 out 5. This game started out great and was really enjoyable but now it's crap. The developers have abandoned this game. Not even any fixes for bugs and glitches that occur in game. If your looking at buying this game. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Will update this review if the developers actually come back and fix the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was having a blast until the sour realization that some features that were initially promised were not even added nor do they intend on adding them as the project is now abandoned. Huge disappointment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has great potential but it seems they have given up with no updates since Dec. Still very buggy with trash or spills not being able to be cleaned up. The Bartender needs to be better at her job as well or give options to skill her up. Since I she started, ratings went from 4 and 5's to 3 or less. As of now I am done playing and can not recommend this game until fixes are done.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice & fun idea but unfortunately currently feels more like an early access release than a fully complete game. Lots of small things like furniture becoming unusable after being valid for several days. Random glass placement below tables & glasses seem to smash an awful lot. Fermentation tubs vanishing into the floor, beer kegs being randomly put into the delivery locker with tubes attached to the wall pipe. Which when all added together slightly diminish the fun & becomes tiring.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems that the developer forgot about this project. Too bad because it had some potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly this game seems to have been abandoned by the devs before it was really in a workable state. A shame, it had some real potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would not suggest to anyone that they buy this game for any price really. It is fundamentally broken, read on for more info. So my son got this game first and I played it through him for awhile, checking it out on his system and going through the 'story' mode a few times actually. The first go round was so buggy you couldn't actually complete it. And while they fixed some bugs along the way this title is really just broken, from bugs still existing and gameplay being ruined by bad game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just can't anymore. I tried. But this game is just so broken and unplayable. I can't believe Steam would allow this on its platform. The game itself is fun. But the glitching, stuff disappearing (like beers you spend for ages crafting), random mechanics breaking.... Playing this game feels like unpaid hard labour. And when you're finished with that labor the boss destroys your work and tells you to do it again. The game gets more broken the more you play and patches seem to affect everyone…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was a fun game when it first came out, but now there's too many bugs and it seems like they're never going to fix them. Don't bother getting this, not worth it anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is good but it fails at every turn, no updates and lacks everything
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personally no issues with game, in matter of fact i like it. Rarely writing reviews but this is for one reason only. For not minding own business. Have 4 games from same publisher and they will get same review. Cheers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is really buggy and glitches a lot so you have to keep restarting it and the game is not well made because it has lots of features which are poorly designed or don't even work
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game at the start. No matter what I did, progressing in the game was impossible because of a quest/task glitch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry to say I didn't enjoy playing this. The mechanics are great but why can't you hire somebody to clean and collect the glasses? I want to brew some beer, not run around cleaning. Also, there should be a sandbox option to start the career from the start but with unlimited money. Oh, and that guy sitting outside is VERY annoying. There should be only 1 person helping through the tutorial. I will return after some updates.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the game until it became a cleaning simulator. I actually don't mind cleaning simulator, I love House Flipper for instance. But I bought Brewpub Simulator to brew beer and serve them to customers. The problem is once, you have hired a waiter, you spend you time cleaning table and picking up glass because you even can't serve beer in same time the hired waiter. It become a super boring game. I stopped playing the game because I am not doing what I loved to do in the first place in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sim + good graphics - optimization = Build your own pub and craft beer with different recipes. Manage the place and clean up trash. Customize colors and decorations. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/] Follow our curator for similar games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not against the developers, Star Drifters. I can't write a negative review for the publisher, Movie Games S.A. so this will have to do, I will be blocking them to avoid a toxic company in the future.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BUGS AND LACK OF SUPPORT. Currently having an issue where there is no audio for picking up and putting down objects which breaks the immersion. This game had lots of potential and now it is just garbage. Go buy Brewmaster or Travelers Rest instead if you wanna scratch the brewing itch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This could be a very good game, but spending all the time cleaning is not what this game should be focused upon. Until the devs provide an option to address the enormous amount of time focused on cleaning, I cannot recommend it. Maybe they should rename it to Barmaid Simulator. Either remove or reduce the amount of cleaning or at least hire a staff member to clean. I really wish I could recommend the game but until this is addressed, I must say stay away and wait to see what happens.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not enough updates and is very glitchy. Do not buy! Update: No updates at all. They have completely abandoned this game without any effort at all to complete it. DEVELOPER: Star Drifters & PUBLISHER: Movie Games S.A., Surefire.Games DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yes game is awesome but they say they have fixed the falling through the floor glitch and the falling through the bar glitch when you beer glasses fall through the bar and a boatload of other glitches well they have fixed a boatload of glitches they had 3 patch fixes they say we fixed the falling through the bar glitch we fixed the falling through the floor glitch well i have started 3 new games and believe me they say they have fixed those 2 worst glitches where things fall through the floor…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still full of bugs and only about a tenth of the gameplay there should be. Seems to have been abandoned by the devs. Real shame as this could have been brilliant.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game Just crashes on launch never worked. Reached out to support and followed all the steps sent them crash logs and never got a response. it even blue screened my pc a few times
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is bugged i got to the main menu and i clicked on load game and it started flickering and then i wont let you click anyhing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not ready for release by a long shot. Many of the issues the devs claim to be fixed are not fixed. In the first 5 minutes I found multiple bugs, including but not limited to trash not disappearing into the garbage can, and anything I try to place (like shelves) become invisible from most angles, then just pop into view from others. Needs a year of patches at least until I'd even think about coming back to give it another chance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so buggy can't complete the story because it keeps crashing waste of time and money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not really ready to play. I have the following problems: Sometimes hangs and I need to end the task. I can't move my bag of chocolate stuff. It seems to switch back to full screen mode when open the game. A pipe seems to connect to nothing every time I start the game. Emptying trays seems to leave one mug in my hand. The beer tap goes slow when there are multiple beers in the same keg. Startup time is also very slow (even on good hardware), although this isn't really a problem if the other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Very poorly optimized. So many bugs that I can't even continue the story, glasses disappearing, clutter in completely invisible places. The game keeps crashing and crashing. + Game is fun, Its something new, if the game would be fixed, It would be great game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit glitchy here and there but I haven't encountered any gamebraking bugs so far. It's fun to play :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do not buy, buggy as hell to the point where you cant progress. order items that don't turn up and items just randomly disappearing... to name just a few, plus the game is dead, no support
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PLEASE PLEASE ADD MULTIPLAYER !!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very very very baaad, what a bad developer!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is great, but the execution is rubbish. I really wanted to like this game..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's some fun to be had here if you really wanna role play as a brew pub owner. But there's so much jank. Despite this apparently being the full release, it plays a lot like a very early access title. Fundamental game functionality like saving the game doesn't even work properly. If you save the game manually and then overwrite the save file, the game seems to just merge the two save game states into one. Lots of other rough edges too. If you don't mind a bunch of jank and just really…

Very Laggy. Con Artists at work. Deceiving Developers. Deceiving European Union Game Developers. Serial Liars. Cheats. Scammers.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bugs galore. Glasses dont fill correctly despite being directly underneath the tap, wasting litres of product to slowly fill just 3ml at a time. Quests buggy and dont register properly and have to go out of the game and back in for it to re-register. Saves dont correctly save, if i override a old save with a new one, the new save keeps the days played from the previous save. If you use the quit to desktop button it takes a few minutes to quit the application for some reason. Resource intensive…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really cool game but would like to know how to enable sandbox mode
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't even launch the game. It just puts the game right into Unity Crash Handler. The game just crashes. Tried to launch it 3-8 times
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just unplayeple
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, easy to learn but it seems to me a bit hard to master (not a bad thing) especially if you have no understanding of brewing at all. Has some minor bugs, some supposedly fixed in last patch but sadly I still get them (glasses disappearing, tablet not always responding, especially with getting beer out of the inventory) but they are minor and so far not game breaking. Story goes a bit to fast for my liking and imho pub upgrades are done in the wrong order (you should get the bartender…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"The game itself is very entertaining, just like other classic simulator games. However, the amount of bugs makes it impossible to play. From your beers falling through the ground to tasks you have to complete multiple times because it doesn't register that you've finished them. I would advise waiting to purchase the game until they have released some major updates because otherwise, the game is not worth it."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off i have to say wow.. this game is simply amazing as it stands. (yes there are some bugs that are a little annoying) but nothing major. the game keeps you going non stop and makes you think but does not force you to do anything. you have the choice on how you want to run things and you can take all the time you want doing it. full on making a pub and each beer can and is made by hand (unless you want to buy ones you already made) Dev will be adding new stuff as time goes on and im…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has potential! I love the concept.... BUT I'm having a hard time playing it with all the bugs. Pots, buckets, glasses, kegs.. everything can, at anytime, just fall right through the floor and disappear. This sucks, especially when you've spent all your money on buying the things you need to brew your beer, and when it's all done it just disappears through the floor. You're standing there with no money left and no beer to sell to your customers. I'd recommend it, because the idea of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When i originally reviewed this game (2023) i couldn't actually post it, because the game its self was so poorly managed that the game Blue screened my computer twice. I am not willing to risk another review, even after all this time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really enjoyed the game for it lasted, already finnished the game with the current update's but the developer abondened this game. think other projects are more important they cashed and left this game to bleed out. don't buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You often see me with a beer in my hand. And always had the dream of opening my own pub. This surely means “Brewpub Simulator” must be the perfect game for me! Right? Here is our Brewpub Simulator Review. Brewpub Simulator is a (Indie) Strategic simulation game. The game is developed by Star Drifters and published by Movie Games S.A. and Surefire.Games. I like the system where you can brew your own beer, you can buy ingredients, and follow recipes. Are you more of a creative cook? No problem!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →will be a great game when the bugs are fixed! i will have my shelves all set up an save the game when i log back in half if not everything will now be on floor underneath sticking through..the mess situation is a bit much for one person to maintain as well,, also mugs just get randomly stuck on shelves an cant be picked up also have had full trays of mugs just poof disappear..cant wait for an employee to clean at the very least..these get fixed ill recommend but till then no as ive already done…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been over 6 months since this game was released and it is still broken. Unfortunately this looks like it was a release and dump. The premise looks fun but unfortunately it's lacking depth and has little replayability. I would be okay with this if the game at least ran properly and didn't bug out every 20-30 minutes. I've also been waiting 6 months for them to finally patch "I am number one" for my 100% completion. The only response the players receive is to send bug reports to an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes all the time,, unfinnished game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too Jittery and too buggy to recommend this game at this time. Wait and see if they fix the bugs. While I love the brewing aspect of the game, the serving part can be a buggy mess. A lot of clipping problems.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a decent game thats fun to start with. It does become repetive later on as you unlock everything. I was kind've hoping to unlock different pubs and expanding to other locations (perhaps the building behind your pub). Maybe that'll happen in the future along with more decorating and themes. Overall it's a nice game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NO ! Do not buy ! Lots of problems and the latest one is that it will not even start.. Brew your own beer at home
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hi I only started playing this game today and already i am hooked on it. The graphics is better then i expected also the sound is very good too there is still much i have to unlock in this game but so far i am very happy with it. I always wanted to own a pub or night club so this is way up my street and i bought the game with a 20% discount and that discount in my pocket allows me to buy more beer lol. I just hope they will release a lot of DLC for this game also to employ a couple barmaids…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't/can't hold 60FPS after 4-6 hours in (multiple play-throughs) on a rig with an i9, 3070TI, 64GB RAM. Reached out to devs with no responses in Community Discussions. So many bugs don't even know where to begin. Very clear there is zero Quality Assurance testing before patch releases. Delayed EA launch to partner with a scummy publisher to bundle their EA game into packages. So many things wrong with everything; unless you get this for dirt cheap like I did I don't recommend it in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The list of problems with this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ endless, I started playing it at a friends house and only bought it for myself when they told me there was an update that claimed to fix the items falling through shelves and disappearing. That was a straight up lie. "Lack of amusements" reviews are endless because the game has some sort of bug going on that keeps the minigames from being accessed no matter how they're placed, no matter how few or how many I have I've got problems. Cups get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun concept but the game is woefully unfinished. Poor performance and many bugs with object interaction/collisions. I gave up after two days in game as my beer glasses kept clipping through walls and the item interaction controls are clunky even when they do work.
