Really appreciate the update functionality so you can place subbuildings freely from the main building.
For others, friendly reminder this is a content creator pack, so that means the devs dont put much work to this, a community member does.

A cute short game that's definitely worth picking up. Silly story, silly gameplay mechanics. Super casual.

Dear Paradox,
I love the small content packs of the original, but I hate this new price point.
Please go back to the price points of the original C:S, those were good prices and worth the money.
Right now it feels like a stab in the pocket.
I got this with the ultimate edition, but even that is so stupidly expensive.
The base game is too expensive too. Please just go back to the original pricing, a price point where it feels like it's worth it. Especially since at the moment C:S 2 is a downgrade over the original game.

This pack should have been €3,99. That's a fine price!
For €9,99 I can buy entire games for that have so much more to it than this small content pack.

Sim City 3000 is one of the best games from my childhood.
This is nothing more than that it was. It is just a dump of what that
Sadly the game does not have good resolution support
You can fix this by replacing the EXE file.

This is a sloppy dump of an old timer on Steam. Which is too bad, because they could have at least included the file above.

The architect crashes on launch.
The steam store has a picture on it from a different game entirely (Alpha Centari).

I am happy that for preservation sake this is on steam, but I wish there would have been a little effort into getting this on steam. Perhaps they could make a deal with some of the modders.
This was just dumped on Steam and took an EA employee a single afternoon to do.

I find it hard to recommend, but also hard to not recommend, it's a classic, it's a fantastic game, but it needs mods to run on modern systems. Similar situation as RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.

I played 14 hours in two days. I haven't slept.

What a wonderful game! So many different types of gameplay, and a great story. From platforming to puzzles, to rythm, you name it's probably there. Love it!

I cant in good fate recommend this game.
Is it good? Yes, good AF.
But without mods, this game gets stale very quickly.
And this mod system that's located IN GAME, is FKIN USELESS.
Like, you have a launcher, then put it in there. But now I keep on having to relaunch the game, for it to then CRASH because some mod is having incompatibilities, which i CANNOT REMOVE BECAUSE I HAVE TO REMOVE IT IN GAME. WHO THOUGHT OF THIS ♥♥♥♥?

Bloons TD 6, the ultimate tower defense game.
I used to play a lot of BTD3, BTD4 and BTD5 as well as other bloons games when I was younger, recently made the switch from BTD5 to BTD6, why didn't I do this sooner?

I love this game!
It's so charming and reminds me of the old platformer games I used to play a bunch. I would love to see the old games of this franchise remastered for PC, too, or mayhaps just ported over, wouldn't mind that either.

At time of reviewing:
Total playtime: 418 Hours
Total games played: 2489

I wish I could still recommend this game. But it is just not what it used to be.
I spent 40€ on the original game. I loved it, it was one of my favourite games. It was rewarding, you got a lootbox every level of playing with a chance on four items. The lootboxes were as expensive as a CS:GO key, which is a very reasonable price, and it was not a necessary purchase. With OW2 we were promised a PvE mode on the level of Diablo, with development trees and highly replayable missions. And we know that Blizzard can do this. They showed they can with Diablo IV. And so before OW2 came out in early access I dropped another 40€ on it to support the cause.
OW2 came out in early access and it was aight. It was the overwatch we all know and love, but instead it’s 5v5 unlike the old 6v6. The new game modes were pretty fun to play, but honestly the game has become incredibly repetitive. Being forced into 1 tank 2 damage and 2 support is just not great for making a memorable playing experience, and openqueue just doesn’t allow for enough solo carry to not be obliterated if your team doesn’t want to work together. This needs a rework. It’s not to do with the lack of tank or support heroes. It is an issue with overall balance.
Let me explain this in music terms, when mixing a song, you base everything around one element, let’s say the kickdrum, or in overwatch, lets say Tracer. Balance all your other instruments to be the baseline of that kickdrum and your mix will be tight. But once you start touching your kickdrum you can start over.
I am annoyed… because not only balance is an issue, which it already was in OW1, and that was still somewhat enjoyable, but they exchanged fair lootboxes for a super grindy battlepass. This battlepass is almost as bad as grinding for money in GTA V. You cant keep up your collection anymore without spending half your lifesavings, which is incredibly discouraging to continue going for your skins. You have to play a lot to get the battlepass up to the good skins. And I just don’t have the time to grind for that, and I don’t have the will for it anymore as the game becomes stale quick.
PVE Would have been the lifesaver for this game, the reason why 2.0 was announced in the first place… they cancelled it because they cant monetize it enough. It’s incredibly disappointing. I genuinely hope you guys saved the work in the background so you can pull it out in the future.
I hope once Microsoft has taken over Activision-Blizzard they will go back on this and pull a FFXIV. Rework the entire PvE. Idk if it takes another year, or longer, I loved this franchise and it’s a shame this game is being burnt to ashes by the executives of the publisher.
Please improve this game, it has so much potential, but the game really feels like it wants to milk me out, and not in a good way. Look at games like CS:GO or VALORANT on how to properly monetize the game. The battlepass needs to be less grindy and shouldn’t have heroes locked in there. Make it so we can get lootboxes again, for free. Put competitive behind a paywall like CS:GO does. Hek make skins marketable and take a share of it, it works out for valve, why not try.

PS I wanted to statement that renaming McCree to Quesadilla was completely unnecessary as nobody linked that name to the fired employee with the same last name. I hope you don’t do that in the future.
