April 2025
I had a lot of fun playing this game, although I ended up putting it on silent as the noises were getting annoying. Trying to play this game in 2025 was tricky. I found it would frequently glitch and the only way to fix the issue of people not going to work was to uninstall and reinstall the game every time. In the end this stopped my playing binge of this game. Although I will definitely play it again one day.

This is a nostalgia trip. I don't ever play the story mode, just free play. It's excellent.

Fairly buggy, an oldie but a goodie. I loved this game as a kid, it can be a little difficult to figure out at times but it is fun once you get the hang of it.

It's an older game but I still find it very enjoyable, I played this all the time when I was little. I wish creating a custom map wasn't as difficult, I can't seem to figure out how to allow researching topics when I play my custom maps, but I have fun building up cities regardless.

NOTE: There is a game-breaking bug that makes citizens not actually work. There are 2 possible permanent fixes to this issue (Walkthroughs included in links): -Setting compatibility mode to Windows 7 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906130076 -Removing Graphic Config file https://steamcommunity.com/app/3980/discussions/0/828925849531132199/ Bugs aside, this is a a fun city builder with some very interesting gameplay. It has a fun campaign to serve as a tutorial. The mission are fun and difficult. There is jank in the design (i.e. trying to set what goods to go into warehouses), but it is not enough for it to be a turn off. My only gripe is that the resolutions are made for older 4:3 monitors, so you either have a weird resolution, or it stretching to 16:9. 8/10
