What I find disapointing is that once you get all the repairs done and collecting the only thing left to do is sit there and click on them with the gloves. All of the puzzles can be solved with the first generation. That leaves future generations with nothing to do except work, collect some extra items to sell online and try to make babies. There is no challenge after the first generation.... The boring factor comes up pretty fast.
This is very true, and needs to be worked on in future incarnations of this game (I assume there will be).
Villagers lasted for tens of generations, and still there were things to do. It was a struggle to finish within one generation, and I for one never have.
Families has potential, the cuteness factor is really good! But the game play is extremely limited after a certain point...there are ways to make it entertaining (I've been modding like crazy, and making fanfiction/art).
However, most of the things I've been doing to amuse myself with the game are not contained in the game itself - something I Never had to do with Villagers, the game play amused me enough by itself.
