Curiously addictive, once you build up your food supply and not riddled with pestilence. Fun Fact: My 13 yo daughter took to this game like a hobo to a rat burger and now she wants to be addressed as the "Hobo Overlord" or "Her Hoboness".

After the 72nd day I think its time to call it . What a surprise ! I left this game sitting for years, but came back and had a great time. Unique look, gameplay, and some hilarious lines . I can only recommend it, BUT read some guides before you play it.

It's an interesting concept let down by a few things. 1. Bugs. Quite often, the game will bug out and leave your hobos standing around doing nothing. Or they might appear to be training but none of the meters move. Quite annoying. 2. The game auto-saves and doesn't allow manual saving. Combined with [#1 bugs], this means you will need to replay lengthy stretches quite often. 3. When it's cold and your plants are …

A game with potential but cannot recommend at the current state. In short it's a game you own a group of homeless people in a base. You need to explore different places and let them fight enemies to finish missions or gather resources. You can train their stats, and got a skill tree to upgrade skills just like in "Punch Club". At the first 30min or so, it's fun. You often get a smile in the humour it offer. Training …

The maximalist interpretation of Shakespeare’s most lovelorn work, released 30 years ago this week (!), retains Elizabethan verse but announces its divergence from rigid classicism from the jump. Our scene is set in fair Verona beach by a news anchor via TV set, relaying the woe of two star-cross’d lovers before clips of civil strife.

neutral · AI labelView post →Train a hobo into a street fighter, gather some buds and organize a gang... Fights are automatic, you just need to consider the training path for your grunts. The training and survival part is boring as usual, just spend some time to grind the resources... Nothing special here. The thing that I actually liked is that you have two paths for every location, you can make some good deeds and then some bad deeds, and you can't tell from the start which one is what. Even when you have choices like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The loot is all random which means food is random early on. So when the food doesn't drop you starve and lose the run. When turning to forums about this the dev went with "I like games to be more difficult." That's not making the game more difficult that's a bad game mechanic... Devs making excuses for poorly implemented mechanics is a joke

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is made up of mobile game-styled grind and auto-mechanic gameplay that is simply not fun. Looks like a mobile game you'd see in those bad adverts, but runs like a Bitcoin miner in comparison. None of the jokes landed and it felt more awkward than funny.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Garbage is a quirky survival management game with a unique premise but uneven execution. While its humor and style stand out, repetitive gameplay and limited depth leave it feeling underwhelming. Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game sure does live up to its namesake... it's hot garbage. It takes about 5 minutes to load the assets and the music is super loud and abnoxious. When you finally do load into the game, the gameplay is neither fun nor engaging. It's kind of like an auto battler but not in the fun, resource management way. Overall, I would not recommend this game. I don't think it is worth the price, even at the 90% off I purchased the game for.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, there is some enjoyment here but it is outweighed by many issues that frustrated me. I played almost 20 hours but almost 1/3 of that was grinding levels. There seems to be a zero sum gain here as towards the end you can't find enough resources to build out everything. For some reason, trash never respawns like you think it should. Once you open up an area, you get initial trash/resources but they never replenish. WHAT!!! By end game, the resources are slowly getting eaten away without any…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was one of the hardest reviews for me to score because as much as I personally enjoyed the game, I can't really recommend it to others. Garbage is a training simulator where you balance scraping together enough resources to survive the various hazards the game throws at you (bad weather, lack of food, etc) with powering up enough to be able to win fights. You assemble a team of hobos, level them up and pick skills for them to use, and then leave them to it and they fight automatically. I…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's unfortunate this game was abandoned, might have been interesting. Last update was 2 years ago, and it definitely still needs some polishing. Especially the early game beat downs you receive. (Will change review if I hear back from devs)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →u will manage 2 characters in early game and it is nearly imposibble to feed both. i finished the game with 3 characters.The combat wasn't logical even with 30+ lvl character u can lose to a foe who is 10 lvl lower than u.For solving foos problem u should buy pizza and fish everyday and build a green house.In green,you can harvest patato regularly.I don't recommend high difficulties if u want to survive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a very satisfying game. As a player, almost all decision making goes into how you will train your homeless. You have a variety of skills to choose from, and there is potential here to make a satisfying combat loop. However, this one component that is your prime responsibility is also incredibly RNG based. Usually, this can turn a game into an interesting exercise in risk management. However, the lack of consequences for battles, obtuse gameplay mechanics, and questionable AI instead…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow is it bad. Makes my PC run hella hot for no reason, even when idling on the main menu screen. It is overall unbalanced and not polished. The UI is spread apart and difficult to track, the resources income and encounter rate are weirdle constraining. It feels like you can screw up your save file by making an incorrect decision very early. Overall, not really appealing to return to.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the worst game ever but not really good either
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →literally "GARBAGE" game desing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is NOT worth the price. Sometimes the audio would glitch and go all static when listening in on headphones. The fighting is pretty cool, but I wish you could do more with the fighting like the player is able to click keys and stuff to punch. There should be a reputation bar that will affect how people treat you and who you meet. Also, there should be more people that can buy to live at your settlement.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly Good. Started up the game and played for 7 hours non-stop. Garbage has a gameplay loop like dungeon keeper in regards to minions by indirect control of the situation, while at the same time having a research and progress loop similar to survival rpg games. The story is shallow at best but I was able to find funny references and moments to give it a pass. The world exploration has a quest discovery system with ways to break up the pacing for unlocking areas and grinding your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →True to its title, this game is Garbage. Which is a shame, because I wanted to like this game, it has a lot of things I've been looking for, but my problems are twofold: 1) In addition to being hideous to look at, the game is deeply unfunny, constantly relying on low-hanging fruit pop culture references and mean-spirited edgelord humor that I'm sure must appeal to someone, but was very much not my thing. This would be enough for me to dislike the game, but I would likely still recommend, if it…

Cons: 1) It's NOT a sandbox -- its basically a pre-written script where you must act in specific ways to succeed. 2) As a result of the above, there's no loot replenishment/scavenging for additional resources or…

On garbage the game's website it does link to a now suspended twitter account, but the publisher is still going strong, they might have made a mistake on publishing this game. Do not buy.
