This games has definitely improved HOWEVER it started way bellow what I think are this franchise’s standards. With too little content, unpolished features and huge lack of assets that are now, 4 years later being put on TS4 like the sliding doors etc.
This game’s biggest problem was the way it was inicially built, in a stiff world system, very app like. There are also a lot of problems when making new things for this game, it has been clear for a long time. The animation process takes a lot of time to make for anything that is new thanks to multitasking and the emotion system and how routing works in this game.
It has been improving over the 4 years but, for 4 freakin years its clearly not improving fast enough.
