Scratch Inc. is an idle game where you build a business empire through repeated prestige resets, each unlocking new layers that multiply your earning speed. While it offers hundreds of hours of content for committed players, the core loop remains largely unchanged throughout—grinding resources, resetting, and repeating with incremental multiplier boosts. Best suited for those who enjoy hyperfocused incremental progression over extended play sessions rather than evolving gameplay mechanics.

Even though you do not technically require the review for 100% completion. Making a "rate the game" achievement sucks
As incremental games go this is simply not engaging. The gameplay does not change one bit from 2 minutes in to 200 hours in. Every single new feature is just another prestige layer that resets everything you've done including previous prestige layers and makes you do everything over and over and over and over again with only modest speed boosts. It's mind numbing. Every time you have to remanage buying the same upgrades again and again and again. Your automation features get taken away repeatedly and you have to reacquire them in the next loop. Add to that the automation is broken, the game doesn't run properly in the background, and often enters an offline mode that does NOT calculate progress properly when you alt tab back to the game.
