The game can initially be great fun if you for example for the first time establishes a production city for entertainment electronics. It's motivating to encourage more and more ore / coal / oil, and thus blowing up the profits.
In the long run, however, but then the nerve problems too. So I built a good running gambling city, unfortunately, it comes through the crowds of visitors to server-side issues that impact in a kind of "game brake" - even though the cities really are only small in comparison with Sim City. 4
As time is (unfortunately) felt that the whole engine was just too bad programmed. In percentage terms, I would guess that 15% of development resources in AI and game logic and 85% were placed in graphics (and be - see constant updates in the graphics area).
Whether transport, business logic, garbage disposal, ports, railway stations etc. -> everything seems so extremely primitive programmed. Basically, since only a very simple "intelligence" behind the beautiful graphics, as if you built over a C64 Sim City with good graphics (which I have still as much qualitative in memory). The whole game seems somehow "schizophrenic": one part is down to the level of individual citizens a view of possible (even with names), on the other hand gets the manufacturers just do not under control, to implement simple (usual for 20 years) game intelligence. Constantly traffic madness, clogged highways, any hingeschluderte statistics, problems with vacant buildings, workplaces, etc. that seem totally randomly generated - the list could lead much further.
AND WHAT MAKES THE MANUFACTURER?
He produced diligently graphics improvements! Here a new amusement park add-on, as a new media market. Real sad. And who looks at the patch notes, which is true with graphical improvements rewarded, the necessary improvements can, however, still waiting.
Recommended as a complete package for the most current game in the first week, in the long term an annoying and costly mistakes acquisition.
Who the weeks and months of fun as "formerly" examined here is massively disappointed.
