Poly Towns Reviews

Look. I know I haven't played this long but I will be completley honest. I cant. Its not complete yet, and has many bugs. Water doesn't appear in the rivers, there is no brightness settings. At night, it gets so dark I have to fast-forward through it because it is WAAYYYY to dark to see. If you are looking for a finished product, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. If you are willing to wait for updates, then buy it. But its definatley a fixer-upper.

I am really enjoying the game so far. The tutorial could be worked on, and there are quite a few bugs and glitches, but the idea is very good, and I hope in the future it will get even better.

I just test this game for 20 minutes but I can already say this game has some big potential when you keep updating. But for now, 5$ is a good price for this game. - This game makes a lot of fun and you must think how to make a working city. Maybe some Quests should be added. - It just need some graphic improvements, better 3D models and some bug fixes (UI and other). - UI functions should be reworked (primarily the in-game buttons). So I can recommend to buy this game, because it makes a lot of fun, and I´m sure, with new updates it will make more fun. But the developers of this game should rework some things and I hope they can manage it.

I uninstalled it after a couple minutes. The UI just frustrates me so much. You can't see how much the spendings/earnings from a building will change if you upgrade. You can't see how much an upgrade will cost. You have to right-click before you change the type of building in a menu? I think?

The game itself is a really good. i liked playing it. But the market building has a major bug. In the edscription it sais 100$/s, maintenance 50$/s. But when zou place it, it gives 50$ and takes 50$, so there is no point to build one of those.

This is not a cozy 3d game like Terrascape or DorfRomantik. Its a cheesy amateurish map game with horrible looking polygonal graphics. If you like it still, just wait till its on sale. The tutorial also was not very good. It was just annoying and clunky. The UI also was bad. I keep trying to build a mine and it wants me to build a house instead even though I already built one. My advice, stay way way way clear of this one.

This is a city sim in its most basic, larval form. With a cute, minimalistic art style you are only given a few resources to worry about. You have to strategize what you place, when, and where to divert your workers at any given point if you find you're falling behind on something. At most you'll be managing your town's food more than anything. It could use some more levels of complexity but as a basic five dollar simulator, it's hardly the worst choice if you want to kill a few hours. The problems I do have are superficial and will probably be tweaked in time. It pauses itself if you tab away from anything, which is NOT a good thing considering that, if you're balancing resource gains, you'll basically be staring at the screen for several minutes doing VERY little else while you watch your stone and wood very slowly crawl upwards before you can upgrade something and get those numbers moving up. I found myself just stockpiling one resource in the several thousand so I can move on to actually get things done. This auto pause basically turns this game into a stealth idle - Except one you have to focus and stare at. Now, I don't mind idle games but the strength of idle games is you can focus on other things while you're doing it. No-go here. It's tutorial barely explains anything other than a "You should build a few houses, a farm, a wood cutter, and a mine" with no indication that if you follow those exact instructions, you'll be starving your people within a few minutes. I failed the game twice before I figured out how to balance things. That's a lot of negative for a positive review. Indeed, I wish there was a "sort of" option rather than a full binary "Yes/No". I certainly recommend it on sale, but more than anything I hope the dev continues to actually work on it.

I wish that there was a mixed button for rating on Steam: / There is a lot of bugs so far and the tutorial is pretty vague on how things work. Pros - The game is challenging, if you screw up one thing then you lose - The graphics are great, the graphics are amazingly good - The gameplay is exhilarating, it’s super addictive if you can get into it - Pretty fun, the gameplay is pretty fun but I feel it could be better Now there is a downside to this Cons - Sometimes you just can't click on things. - Sometimes you click on something and nothing happens. - The tutorial doesn’t give you much information on how to play the game - The buttons and controls are pretty laggy well I’ve given you the pros and cons for this game now it’s up to you if you want to purchase it. Personally I think you should because when the game gets more updates then the price might go up.

It's an interesting little game but there are some quite serious flaws here. - Sometimes you just can't click on things. Sometimes you click on something and nothing happens. You have to exit back to the menu and then go back in. - The tutorial is quite limited and gives you all the information before you can try making any of it actually work. I restarted after a bit of confused faffing about. - The buttons and controls are quite clunky. The buttons seem to divide up the functions in ways that aren't very helpful and you can spend quite a lot of time clicking things (with the wrong button pressed) without realising why nothing is happening. - Sometimes phantom green ghost structures appear on your map or on locks sections of it for no reason. Sometimes you can't set workers to do any work. Sometimes things are just a bit broken. I'm going to keep playing, but so far there doesn't seem to be much challenge in the gameplay to balance out the challenge in getting the controls working. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether your people are happy or not, and I don't find myself really caring whether or not they are. There's no real satisfaction in building and growing your town.

I like the premise, but for 1.0 release, this is quite disappointing mostly because of these three things: - Graphical / Sound settings are not properly saved - Game gets (graphically) stuck at dawn every once in a while and requires you to reload - Night is too long and too dark to properly see what you are doing This is something I would be able to understand for an Early Access title, but for a full release with 1.0, these things are a clear oversight. Please fix these bugs and until they are fixed, I wouldn't recommend buying this right now.
