Model City Reviews

Simplistic and structured, not immediately intuitive but it grows quickly. Sublime track, promotes a soothing easy-going city tile puzzle builder. My first attempt almost cleared the top hurdle. Just a few thousand short of the needed city value. I am pretty sure I could pick-up this spare. Controls are sparse, it isn't Maxis after all. But they did well for what you have, and for the price it's worth showing the dev some love for putting forth the effort, and producing a meaningful 'polished' product. If I had a gripe it would be the controls, you can't move forward without following the cursor, but I was soon accustomed to using the bound vertical keys. Just move around holding Q and it's good, or look up just above the horizon, so you don't have to back up and adjust every so often. I'd say try it out, and it's easy enough that a young mind can find joy in it, and possibly learn with deeper meaning. It's a good starting point for game exposure. In around 30min I was able to discern some of the patterns, which make them easy to explain and contextualize, and nearly completing the game. But nothing is pushing you forward, you can assume any pace you wish.

This game has little to no substance. There's no tutorial and it does not explain how to get better prices on land squares. I would not suggest buying this game because it is not complete. It has a good initial concept but the developer or developers failed to follow through on the rest of the game. Spoiler: [spoiler] I was able to get the 90k achievement by building the houses out from the middle and putting the other four property types in the corners and filling out each area based on the percentage demand to keep it "balanced".

Once again, steam needs a neutral option for rating games. Is it horrible? No, but I've seen more compelling mobile games. I barely feel like I will get my $ worth even though I got it on sale, so it gets a negative rating. -This is less of a city builder and more like a basic resource-balancing puzzle in the way it functions. -There is no explanation of what to do or why. You just have to click around until you figure it out, which wasn't very engaging. It runs smoothly, so if you're looking for super simple, it might appeal. -Basic game play makes this pretty boring fast, unless you just like a terrarium that looks like a city. It feels very shallow and I don't know how it could have much replay value.

This is a fun "casual" game as described. This is not true city builder game. So when purchasing this game expect it to be very casual. For what you get out of this it pretty good. It runs very smoothly and I like watching the building upgrade. It is worth a try if you like city building games. My only complaint is the price of the game. I find it a tad too high for what you get out of it. Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWILmr5h5do
