## Review summary

Box Office Sim 2 is praised for a strong concept and potential deep simulation of movie production, including acting, directing, and a script system. However, the game is repeatedly dogged by bugs and instability—crashes, freezes, and especially save failures that can erase progress. Many players report data loss, corrupted data, and unplayable states. Critics also note the lack of updates from developers and long periods of inactivity, which heightens frustration. If these issues are fixed and updates continue, the game could surpass its predecessor and deliver on its promising ideas.

### Pros

- Strong concept for a movie-industry simulation (acting, directing, and a script system).
- Feature-rich with depth that could surpass Box Office Sim 1 when polished.
- Engaging idea and potential that fans love when the game works.
- Overall positive sentiment about the concept, with players eager for updates to unlock more features.

### Cons

- Widespread bugs, glitches, and crashes that make the game unstable.
- Saving failures and data loss (autosave crashes and lost progress).
- Lack of timely updates from the developers; reviews note inactivity for over a year.
- Performance issues like lag and long, cumbersome menus, plus issues like duplication and split-screen glitches.
