Love the Game, But Not the Latest Events – Idle Mafia Review

I have been playing for a little over three months now, and have enjoyed the game enough to subscribe to the $5 monthly membership. I enjoy the grind, the gang activities, and seeing my power levels rise relatively quickly, and I always look forward to the weekend and weekly events. The weekend events can get pretty time intensive, but the weekly events are usually pretty fun, change things up a bit, and are over without too much sustained attention throughout the week. One of the things I like about this game is I don’t have to be on the game constantly to achieve peak progress and can focus on work, my family, and other leisure activities while still feeling like a relatively top-performing player. Lately, however, the events (two of the last weekly events and the next scheduled one) have been bad spin-offs of the weekend events. You cannot achieve even all of the standard rewards without spending diamonds or $$$ on them (normally premium rewards are available for a cost), even with the membership. Normally there is no problem getting all the standard rewards, but these new events are time-intensive during the week and require microtransactions to complete. This is a severe detriment to my game experience. This review would return to a 5 star review if traditionally weekend events are not used in place of the weekly events.
