I've been a fan of City Builders since the first Sim City back in 1989 and have played pretty much most of them since. They all have their pros, cons and quirks but I must say, that besides City Skylines and a couple 'historical' builders, and 'survival' builders I've really enjoyed my time with Highrise City, enough to say I think it's in my top 5. Thus far I've not encountered any of the bugs/crashes others have mentioned and the current iteration seems, (I've not researched it deeply) to have the supply chain and trade functions working properly. There is even some (though no where near as many as City Skylines) workshop items that I've tried out as well. There are a couple quality of life improvements I'd love to see... The ability to pull up higher on the view of the surrounding terrain would allow me to plan out my build-out better. As it currently stands, you're barely above the buildings and the camera is angled pretty sharply so it's hard to view what is available outside your purchased/valid territory. It's nice to see the various commodities highlighted off in the distance but it would be helpful to have a 'top down' view available as a wider map for future planning. I did find the notifications to be pretty intrusive... while I wanted the information, I found they popped up about every 20 to 30 seconds so I ended up turning them off. Perhaps a way to separate them between critical and non-critical would be helpful, that way I can decide what type of information I wanted. As for some fun things I'd like to see in further updates, I think the ability to have pedestrian only areas/building types would be great and a few more entertainment/tourism items would be appreciated too. Highrise City is a great addition to the genre, focusing more on supply chain functionality and the various population types (workers, engineers, managers) and meeting their various needs. Overall I'm glad I purchased and can definitely recommend it. A good 8 / 10.
Highrise City is an ambitious city-building and economic simulation developed by Fourexo Entertainment and published by Deck13 that sets out to expand the traditional boundaries of the genre by placing logistics, production chains, and economic flow at the center of urban development. Rather than focusing solely on zoning residential, commercial, and industrial districts, the game challenges players to think like large-scale planners and economists, where every citizen, building, and service is tied into a broader system of supply and demand. The result is a city builder that feels closer to a complex management sim, rewarding careful planning and long-term strategy over quick visual growth. From the beginning, Highrise City establishes that a functioning metropolis depends on more than just roads and housing. Citizens have concrete needs that must be fulfilled through production, such as food, consumer goods, and services, all of which must be sourced, processed, transported, and delivered efficiently. Farms must supply raw materials, factories must process them into finished products, and logistics networks must move those goods to commercial buildings and households. If any part of this chain breaks down, shortages ripple outward, leading to stalled growth and unhappy residents. This interconnected design gives the city a tangible sense of realism, as success is measured not only by population size but by how smoothly resources circulate through the urban ecosystem. The depth of these systems gives Highrise City a strong identity, but it also contributes to a steep learning curve. New players are introduced to a wealth of mechanics early on, from production buildings and warehouses to transportation routes and workforce management. While tutorials and tooltips exist, they sometimes struggle to fully communicate how interdependent the systems truly are. Early mistakes—such as placing industries too far from consumers or neglecting storage capacity—can quietly undermine a city’s growth, leading to confusion for players still learning the rules. However, once the underlying logic clicks, the game becomes far more rewarding, transforming problem-solving into a satisfying process of optimization and refinement. Scale is one of the game’s most impressive features. Cities can grow to massive sizes, housing millions of residents and supporting sprawling industrial districts, dense downtown cores, and expansive transportation networks. The simulation tracks large numbers of citizens, vehicles, and goods in motion, giving the impression of a living city where activity never truly stops. Maps are expansive and often inspired by real-world geography, providing ample room for experimentation and creative layouts. Difficulty settings and adjustable goals allow players to tailor the experience, whether they prefer a relaxed sandbox focused on growth or a more demanding simulation that tests efficiency and economic foresight. Visually, Highrise City prioritizes clarity and readability over cinematic flair. Buildings are detailed enough to convey their purpose, and the overall aesthetic supports large-scale planning by keeping information legible even as cities grow dense. While it may not match the visual spectacle of some genre leaders, the presentation serves its functional needs well, especially when managing complex logistics at high zoom levels. The soundtrack and ambient audio complement the gameplay with calm, unobtrusive music that helps maintain focus during long planning sessions, reinforcing the game’s measured pace. Despite its strengths, the game does have areas where its ambition occasionally outpaces polish. Certain systems can feel underexplained, and players may need trial and error—or external resources—to fully understand optimal strategies. Pacing can also feel slow in the early stages, as building a stable production network takes time before visible urban growth accelerates. Some players may miss specific simulation elements found in other city builders, and the interface, while functional, can feel dense when managing large cities with many interlocking systems. Post-launch support and expansions have helped broaden the experience, introducing new mechanics related to tourism, transportation, and urban services. These additions add variety and extend the life of established cities, giving experienced players new challenges and incentives to revisit their designs. While expansions do not fundamentally alter the game’s core philosophy, they do help flesh out its vision of a multifaceted, economically driven metropolis. Ultimately, Highrise City is a game that appeals most to players who enjoy depth, complexity, and systemic thinking. It is less about creating a picturesque skyline and more about understanding how cities function beneath the surface. For players willing to invest time into learning its mechanics, the game offers a rich and rewarding simulation that makes growth feel earned rather than automatic. Those seeking a more casual or visually focused city builder may find it demanding, but for fans of intricate management systems and large-scale urban planning, Highrise City stands as a thoughtful and ambitious entry in the modern city-building landscape. Rating: 7/10
