    I've owned this game for a while now. It's a mixed bag for me. Mainly because of the developer. The game itself is fun. I haven't had many of the issues that others have had with game bugs and performance. My opinion, the game is not bad. They have fixed a ton of bugs, but from what others state, more bugs could be taken care of. This game is well known in the gaming community for being buggy and at times unplayable. This is kind of why I don't respect the developer. My personal beef with…

    This developer just released a post stating they are abandoning the game. The game although a bit fun is full of ground breaking bugs that severely impact your save. Ie: Require restarting. A few examples are breaking stoves that cannot be fixed, dishwashers that just consume dishes, pathing issues where npcs get stuck, and we can go on. That said the dev stated due to "game engine" limitations they can't fix these issues. The fact they released multiple dlcs hid the fact they weren't fixing…

    Scam product that has been abandoned by the devs, and this should not be allowed on Steam. I waited for years to get bugs fixed before I would play through it for real, only to find them making this statement: "Despite our best efforts, some bugs have proven resistant to our attempts to rectify them, and we understand that this may not have lived up to some players' expectations. We want you to know that we've given it our all." "...we've made the difficult decision to halt further development…

    I like this game. Unfortunately mine is bugged and I can no longer get anyone to wash dishes. I like that I can have a cat, but I hate that all the pictures in the decoration tab are of sexy naked women. I'm docking it because it's bugged and I can't play it. I'm also docking it because there are no photos of naked sexy men in the decor. If I can play again and you give me the equality myself and every other gaming woman deserves, I'll give you a heckin thumbs up! Edit: Just got to the revenge…

    Its still buggy, unfinished, unpolished and left for dead after they sacked the previous development team for being incompetent. They outsourced even the base engine, that was just a buggy mess of spaghetti code and broke despite updates. Publisher then threw out their "revised engine" which barely changed anything from early access. Not to mention during their early access development cycle, they tossed in DLC that not only broke the game, but added content without even finishing the base…

    The main idea of this game is good and it could have been a good game IF it was completed. Unfortunately the developers just abandoned it without finishing it in a state full of bugs and issues that are borderline gamebreaking and can even cause the main campaign to get stuck at some places. Stay away from it unless you wish to waste your money on an unfinished game.

    I love this game. There's none quite like it as the graphics are good. Not cartoony or pixelart. BUT...the game's a mess. It cannot be played this way, and, since the devs have abandoned it, obviously unable to fix the issues, it will never be playable. You can get through the first phase with no problems, but once your initial inn burns down and you need to create a new one, the game will crash, freeze and do other kinds of nonsense. A great game, abandoned because of bad, unfixable…

    Devs abandoned the game. They chose to leave behind a buggy, unfinished game that fans had given so much grace and leeway to, because fans believed in the concept. But the devs took the early access money and moved on, leaving this game unplayable. This will never be fixed, and never be the game we were promised. Don't give them your money

    It's a bummer they abandoned this - the core game play is amusing the story is good. But the gameplay is super buggy to the point of destroying saves. Can't really recommend it as is. I guess they're making a sequel? I'll play it if they can prove its polished enough.

    There are some edits, there are some additions. 1. The developer has abandoned the game. **added 24th May 2023: The developer has blamed game engine limitations and has essentially wiped their hands off the game. Basically, no more involvement with the game** 2. The abandoned game *STILL* has a lot of very basic game breaking bugs. Example: 2a. The game is bugged, so you try to reload the scenario. The scenario itself (after reloaded is bugged). No fixes from the dev. **added 24th May 2023:…

    The developer abandoned this game with massive active bugs because they weren't good enough programmers to fix them. This sounds like I'm joking or being internet-mad, but the last major update (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/867290/view/3689054062171831624?l=english) genuinely says "sorry, the engine is too crappy to fix any more." This is nonsense, for what it is worth. There are basic pathing and utilization issues, the sorts of bugs in this game were mostly solved problems back…

    Such a great idea with so much potential simply wasted. If you're desperate for for this kind of sim go ahead but you'll rapidly find a myriad of game breaking bugs. The developer has given up on the game after years of cash-grabbing his way through updates and has announced he'll no longer be working the game. Skip this one or be prepared to just be eternally disappointed.

    It's a janky mess of a game, lots of bugs, but most have work arounds plus many 'bugs' are due to poor or no in game feedback (like employee skill and levels). Avoid the scenarios, play in sandbox. If a character gets stuck use the hand to move them. It's the best tavern simulator out there, and yes it's my opinion, and yes I've tried all the latest ones. This one is fun and has character, the others are boring management sims with tavern graphics pasted on top. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK,…

    - Characters get stuck between objects and walls. - Employees won’t properly serve, clean etc… Despite their priorities, servants will repeatedly clean the same spot. Sometimes a few of them will clean the same spot at the same time. - Some quests (campaign) won’t trigger their next stages correctly. “Local food” (sandbox quest) is broken. - Beds or random spots go “Zzz” as if they were sleeping. You can’t sell or remove those beds. - Texts can get stuck on screen long after a character…

    What a waste. The tutorial is useless. After the initial part, I was supposed to purchase goods and make some dishes, but all my people did was walk around, shuffle goods from shelf to shelf and pretend to cook but nothing ever got served. EVER. People just sat around and waited for food and drinks that never came.

    While it's an undoubtedly fun game to play, it's sadly quite unplayable. The amount of bugs I could find a workaround about were overwhelmed by a single bug I couldn't, and it ruined the experience. Staff at some point starts locking on a task they can't complete (for an unknown reason), and stop doing other tasks entirely. So, the inn is dirty; patrons outraged; hired bards, vedettas and co are just constantly unhappy. I have an army of staff to take care of everything, yet nothing works. On…

    This could have been an awesome game. This game is so buggy that even if I try my best to ignore them, it only rewards me with nothing but frustration. I'm not sure whether the developer cares absolutely nothing about the gaming experience of the people who pay to play their games or they are simply incompetent. Either way I will avoid buying any more games from them due to the bad experience I have with Crossroads Inn.

I cannot recommend because the developers stopped caring quite a while ago now. Things I loved about the game: - Map and having to get recipes/items - Having to stock up on ingredients - Those ingredients took real space in the storage and were visible. - Multiple levels to the INN - Time it took from ordering to receiving the item - Art style and…

    It would be a nice game, but bugs prevent it from being enjoyable or even working at all (e.g. you need to grow potatoes to progress in the storyline, but the growing-provcess runs through empty -> no potatoes, no progressing in the campaign). Another gamekiller would be, that workers just don't do their thing. I have a ton of needed goods, that I ordered, outside my Inn the Inn runs out of those resources (e.g. Candles or Firewood) and 5 of my hired workers just stand at the back, outside the…

    I have spent plenty of time playing this game. Each time I hit a game breaking bug. In sandbox mode, no visitors come to eat at my inn. In campaign, the disfavored class comes in so rarely that I cannot beat the courier quest. I hope they revisit this game and fix those bugs, but that won't happen because the final update has already been stated. Otherwise, the game is very fun.

    Be aware that this game never made it out of beta. Also know that development has stopped. Errors you get, objects that don't work right, missing resources, workers you have to pick up and move because they can't path, those will never get better. Still, I have about 100 hours messing around with it and another 126 hours letting it sit minimized in a tray. I just won't buy a beta game from the developer again.

I start it back up and noticed the buggy mess right when it loads up. the purple checkerboard errors throughout the map, that weren't there before. Look at review and noticed the common theme was a buggy mess. I won't recommend buying this or the spin off until its addressed.
