  Stay clear until a lot more optimisations and development have been done. Bought the game very early on. Was pretty rough, but was hopeful it would become something. Have checked in as the updates happen, The last year or so the frame rates were really quite woeful and early on. For much of that year I cant even get the game to run. Crashes to desktop every time. I discussed this on discord months ago. Gave the crash files as requested, also gave my specs. Received a "Thanks, we'll look into it with all the other bugs" Months down the track, an update or two and still the same ...loading...drawing - and crash to desktop. Really wish I hadn't jumped so soon into another early access and pretty disappointing that the devs - although a small team, have not tried to reach out and work out individual problems. Guess I have been spoilt by small devs that go out of their way to assist in getting the game running for individuals. Others have also reported and received similar responses My advice would be to stay clear and wait till these major problems are sorted, Something is not right here and feel the dev may have bitten off too much. - Just a feeling, as I don't know the skills of this team at all. Hope I am wrong, would just like to be able to play a game I have paid for , happy for bugs , it is early access. 10th gen i7 Intel RTX2070 16GB

  Keep in mind I want to enjoy this game and like some features of it. I like that residential, commercial and industrial are each on one button and you cant just go right into building higher densities immidiately. I like it's overall simplicity. However, because I like the game I must criticize it. I understand the game is in alpha but it is hardly playable. Then once you build bigger cities it becomes unplayable. I've played city builders a lot more graphically intensive. It slows to a crawl in more sprawling areas. Placing roads and tracks is very glitchy. Tons of texture glitches above ground roads being placed in tunnels and placement textures not being removed after you placed your road or track. There's very strange rubberbanding with the trains and the UI is very strange and takes a bit over a second to switch views. You can tell this game has lots of spaghetti-coding. The devs need to go back in and overhaul the fundamental systems and optimize a lot of the code. I understand it's in Alpha but I don't recommend buying it yet.

  100% no. I've been playing this game throughout it's alpha and i've watched it gone from "buggy with charm" to just "buggy, overambitious, and smug with it's failure". There are massive problems with this game... - Soundtrack: Terrible; It's like transport Tycoons soundtrack reverb through a underwater accordion. (There's one good track, but you can't select/deselect tracks) - Performance: Grinds my high speed laptop to a crawl. - City Building: Pros: Realstic Density, Zoning, and Mixed use. Simulates the city centre effect well. A Sim City 2000ish kind of feel to the project. Cons: Buggy to all hell with a faulty grid system that snaps terribly (if at all), and simulation which makes SC5 look like a masterpiece. Traffic pops in and out (when it did, all the semis went to one, and i mean one building;effectively crippling my entire transportation system and throwing whatever products into this sad gas station) and public transit is bugged/doesn't work. I get it; this game is in alpha. But i've watched this game progress in the last year; and it hasn't been good. Major game breaking bugs are still present, the base the game is built on is flawed. Instead of fixing them, they've added new features, instead of fixing the base game. The general impression i get from the developer is "yes there are problems, but look a casino!" or "please hype this game for us on simtroplios/reddit....etc". The apathy of it all is put on the sleeve of this games shirt; unfortunately it brought a mesh tank top instead and doesn't care about it's self anymore, or you for that matter. Did i mention there's no intro/tutorial on half the mechanics in the game so it's just... half baked ideas everywhere and you have no clue what to do with anything? SC4 is the gold standard of city builders; good sim, graphics, and the simulation, though bugged, is fun as the bugs can be overcame. This game, is not fun. The simulation is not fun; it's overly predictable and forumlatic. It's fun watching a downtown forming, but getting to that point is hours of fighting with the game.When the game crashes, your done; seething from another bug or "quirk" that still stays in place after a year. It's ideas, that are honestly really good. But they aren't fledged out, delveoped enough; they are quickly coded buggy ideas and then it's on to the next one. This patchwork nature of its development is evident. If you want a glimmer of hope but want to be disappointed instead; get this. If you want a city builder that has detail, get skylines. If want a city builder with depth; get SC4.

  No updates since Febuary, no main branch updates this year. Will switch to positive once developer updates or communicates.

  Game is seemingly abandoned after not being updated for more than 10 months. I paid good money for this game. I expect at the very least some word from the developer on what's going on but we can't even have that.

  Game is dead now, will update this review when/or if the devs ever come back. The game just hasn't had any updates to fix the last broken one the devs released in February of 2022. It is now 2023 and not a peep from the team at Lone Pine. This game is unfinished and will remain so it seems.

  While it is somewhat enjoyable as it stands, it's really not worth any amount of money. Unfortunately, it seems like development has stopped altogether. There's been no communication from the developer since the beta of what was going to be a new patch was started, and that was like, a year ago. You'd get more mileage out of SimCity 4 than this, let alone more modern games like Cities Skylines or Citystate II.

  Was very promising as an updated SC4-style large-scale city builder, but hasn't seen hide nor hair of an update for a year. I think it's fair to say it's dead.

  this is why steam needs to keep 50% of the money made from Early Access games to refund everyone 50% when a developer just abandons or rugpulls a game like this one right here.

  [u]Good[/u][list] [*]*The aesthetic/design is charming [*]*Music is lovely, much better than Cities Skylines imo [*]*The amount of detail in the game is welcome and ambitious [*]*Neighbouring cities that grow with yours in real time! [*]*Lots of future potential [/list] [u]Bad[/u][list] [*]*A few minor bugs (residents going for job interviews at 2am, trucks driving normally but at a speed of 0km per hour, etc.) [*]*RCI Indicator isn't always accurate and fluctuates wildly even on normal speed [*]*Some of the information is unclear e.g. the values for the Route Inspector [*]*Lack of hotkeys [*]*The game's default FOV is 0, changing the FOV to 90 FOV tanks the performance considerably (fps goes from 60 to 20). As this is a simulaton game, FOV doesn't matter that much and I find 15 FOV is a happy medium of performance and visual appeal, but I know this might be issue to others. [/list] [b]Overall[/b] [h1]Recommend & buy![/h1] *Work-in-progress review, will update during Early Access
