    DO NOT Listen to these BS'ing YouTubers. This game Has EXCELLENT Ski Lift animations and simulation elements, but the rest of the game needs a lot more before I can recommend it. The level of detail applied to the Ski Lifts is of a VERY HIGH Calibre, so they certainly do have the skillset to make this a top game. It has huge potential, but as a FULL RELEASE title and NOT an EARLY ACCESS title there is significant concern that not enough will change...I hope it does though. FULL HONEST…

    Although the concept is great, There are many bug fixes you should fix: 1. The Modes such as Skiing mode , Camera mode, Walking mode, Or Developing mode has bugs including with the mouse, You cannot do anything because it will bug out. 2. The speeding is not very great, you can even do speed X1 and it is somehow faster than X240 3. Fix the sandbox mode Let me show you why i like this game. -You can move around while building your resort -Making your resort -Controlling lifts -Groom trails…

    Great game, especially for a new dev team. The graphics are terrific and the attention to detail is awesome. They are fixing the stuttering bug so the game should be butter smooth when they do since everything else is fine. The devs are enthusiastic to bring more so I look forward to whatever else comes! That being said, I do have some feedback that I hope the devs considers. 1) The skiing is terrible. You put so much detail into the rest of the game, so please give it some attention as well!…

    This Game is a awesome vision of a new kind of Gameplay \ Winter Simulation. Much better as the Prog-Try´s of Astragon \ Rondomedia or UIG a few years ago. Ok. My favorite in Winter-Ski Resort Simulation will always be: Ski Region Simulator 2012 from Giants, but HR Innoways makes a real big difference with this Game. But: The only contra that I can give at the moment is the control of Gamepads like X360 or X-Box One Ctrl. It´s horrible. Sometimes impossible to play the game, because the NPC is…

    First of all, I bought this game because I am a winter sport enthusiast. I like the alps and go skiing every year. The pictures looked great and indeed the game has some very nice visuals. Operating the ski lifts yourself also has some appeal. Some part of me always wanted to try that. The bad part started with the introduction when driving the car. bad physics and controls. Controls did not revert back to 'car mode' while doing the tutorial (stuck in pisten bully mode) when getting back in…

    THIS GAME IS NOT FINISHED AT ALL, AND NOT WORTH 30 EUR Some things look okay but. there are a lot of flaws in this game which make it just unplayable - Changing controls and going in game makes the game freakout - basic support for controllers / joysticks not available - keyboard wasd is way to reactive - landscaping is not done I can't recommend this game because it's more in a ALPHA/BETA stage then a full blown game.

    Yep, it has a few flaws. Steering of cars is unrealistic, acceleration and speed doesn't fit and the sounds are awful. Nevertheless: I love this game, especially the licensed skilifts! Tutorial could be a bit longer and explain more about the economy gameplay. :)

    This game is really pretty and has lots of detail in its ski lifts. However, the lack of content and the horrible vehical handeling will make me not recommend this game. I do understand that this game is an early release and has some work do. I will recommend this game once they add more content and fix the vehical handeling. 5.5/10

    This game is amazing. I love the snow making features with groups. Wish there was some SMI or Prinoth items in the game but this game has so much room for additonal features and I can't stop playing it! I'd love to see pole guns and stick guns along with pipes and hydrants. Great Job and I can't wait to see what is added next!

    Before we begin please know I have had 6 minutes on this game. It is all I felt was required to make a fair review for this game. Firstly, It crashed twice on the first attempt at playing the game, not a good start. Secondly, Made with Unity. Really Aerosoft? You are happy to publish a game which has been made with Unity? Are you insane? Thirdly, Because of the use of Unity you enter the scenarios and are gifted with 15-25 FPS (and yes I have a computer capable of running a Unity game i.e. I…

    If you love big complicated machinery, the game is worth it for the accurate ski lift operations. I feel like this is where the most energy has been put into development. The snowcats are also pretty cool. If you're looking for something more in-depth about operating a ski resort, it's not there right now. Hopefully the game will get developed further to add more gameplay. That it has mod support should help in the future too. I love the editor mode too, with that you can start from scratch…

    I play a lot of management game and simulation games but this game is one of the worst purchases I made in January 2020. when in a car you drive forward but game still give a reverse sound no clue why they dont setup reverse and stop on key D like all games, for reverse you need to press shift W and than again shift w to go forward, Doom 3D back in 2004 have a better movement control than i got in this game. the behaviors/movement of the skiers look like they need to go to the toilet asap.…

    high details to ropeways, medium to the groomers, great details to the landscape... and thats it. it is far from a complete game, incredibly basic and mundane management system, not nearly enough to do. very obvious that the game had a deadline and 80% of it was spend on the chairlifts. it has the making of a great game but not hoe it is currently

    The game is just far too buggy at its current state to be enjoyable. unfortinately i spent far too long trying to figure things out whenever the tutorials got stuck and i cannot recieve a refund. -Lifts look great. -cars and snowmobile can be extremely buggy and jumpy. -everything else: needs work. especially your tutorials not allowing me to continue onto the next step.

    The game surely has potential, but at the current state I would call it Early Access, the most. Controlls are fuzzy and the gameplay is buggy. I restarted numerous times because events took place that did not let me finish the mission. Then i tried to reset my vehicle. One would asume that such a reset would inculde the player too. But wrong. So while I was stuck in the middle of nowhere on a mountain, my car got reset to the parkinglot. The level of operations is alsmost too realistic. A lot…

    There is nothing much to say, I think the game is fantastic. Although as everyone would expect it, there are some things that still need some bugfixing and patching, but I'm sure the developers will manage to fix everything later on. The game in itself is very enjoyable, although you have to figure out most if the things for yourself as there are not many tutorials. However, I can ensure the fact that if you try to understand it, you will understand it. It just needs some time... anyway! I…

    6/10 - WRS currently is a great concept, but needs some major work done for it to be considered a full release game. As others have said this isn't really what you would really call a "full release game", more of an early access or in development game (every part of the game besides the lifts). Parts of the game are very detailed and well done, like the chairlifts and gondolas. Others are sub-par, such the vehicle mechanics and physics (see below). As a said the concept itself is not bad, and…

    This game has been nothing short of amazing for what it currently offers, but there is always room for improvement and the addition of other things as well. Some of the things in which may be cool are new maps created by the developers along with different lift manufacturing companies like Leitner including North Americas Leitner Poma and possibly older Doppelmayr lifts like Uni-m and stealth. Other older companies like Yan, Von Roll, and Riblet would be cool as well to create older resorts but…

    This is an amazing simulator! If you liked SRS2012, specifically if you enjoyed the SBSE mod and maps from the Austrian Modding Team, you need this game! Warning... If you are not interested in the realistic operations at skilifts, it might be to complicated for you. Except for the mediocre performance there are no negative complains and I hope the developers will continue to work on the game.

    Performance is terrible even with graphics that don't really justify it. Changing graphics settings did no noticeable difference.

    Its a amazing game but it can be very laggy on old laptops or monitor pc's but overall its better than ski region simulator because winter resort simulator was much better. Why? Becuase winter resort simulator allows you to control the lifts like in real life if you wanted to apply in real life such as feeding passengers coming on the lifts the pistonbully snowcate and even the snow cannon and it raises snow! So i think Winter resort Simulator is the best game on steam in my opinion. Hope the…

    So, the game itself is actually pretty realistic. I love the simulator itselfs. But, the only con with this is that the graphics are not the best. I can really see improvements in the "nature" graphics. Improve the graphics on the enviornment, vehicles and NPC's and this is top 3 of all simulators I played.

    Surprised to see this is still for sale on Steam. Not really I suppose as Steam tries to get every nickle including from dead and unsupported games. I played through the "game" in less than 2 hours. It was an interesting attempt but was left unsupported by the developers when they moved on to another game. Suffice to say I didn't bother purchasing the next one. Don't waste your time nor funds on this as you will likely end up disappointed.

The financial system within the game is also realistic with proper scary looking cash flow and balance sheets to be aware of.

    I like this game a lot. But there are a few things that should be fixed before I call it a perfect game: - Workshop content cannot be played. Just gives an error screen. - You must quit the game and relaunch it to return to the main menu. - Placing and moving snow makers is really inefficient. Wish we could move them with a faster vehicle or spawn them in front of us. - Game is not very optimized. And finally... FIX THE DRIVING MECHANICS
