    i played 16 hours including the demo, I found loads of bugs, I had to restart the game several times as the space bar did not work. painting would not finished stayed at 99% until someone online taught me a cheat. The game was sluggish and you didn't get to renovate properly as there was still holes in the walls. I would have asked for a refund but the bugs didn't start until after 2 hours.

I'm supposed to install new climbing wall but the final pieces are too high up for me to reach with no access to the ladder, Its locked me out of everything now.

    Renovation with a storyline What I really like about this game is that it combines renovation with a storyline. Normally, simulation games include a bit of story, but this one really pushes you through it. As you play, you keep discovering more by examining items or listening to the in-game podcast while you’re hard at work. The story starts with fixing up smaller sports venues, like an old boxing gym. You do this …

    I played the demo last year and hoped that the full game would be on the same level. And actually, it is. Sports: Renovations is, in many ways, very similar to Crime Scene Cleaner—mostly the same mechanics and no weird ideas. It features only basic tools, but, of course, in a different, more sporty setting. Additionally, creating special sports facilities is a unique and fun addition to the classic renovation …
