This game has taken over my life.

This is a terrible pay to win game. Don't pay any money to play. It's a scam!

This game is fun for a while but eventually gets very repetitive and boring. Also, make sure you are constantly building houses so your citizens procreate and don't die off all at once later in the game. If more than two people are in a home, they won't reproduce. I also wish there were more buildings or things to do in general. You pretty much just have to make sure there are houses and food at all times and that's the entire game.

I love it more than I hate it.

It's decent. I like playing on Normal or even Casual just to relax.

it's boring.

it doesn't look spectacular, the characters are forgettable if not a tad unlikable (my opinion) and the narrative is kinda lame and certainly melodramatic. not sure if i've ever given a bad review but this is definitely a game i can say i regret playing and i wish i had my time back. i would spend that time doing something else and put the $20 toward sour bright crawlers instead. i guess you might like it but firewatch isn't for me personally and i don't think most people would like it either.

If you're into sims and don't need the extra dose of 4X (explore,expand,exploit,exterminate) this is your new Sim City.

To me, the mods are what really makes this game. I would advise you to add mods little by little and heed instructions in the descriptions of the items/collections. You can easily end up crippling your game, ie. it crashes on startup; at the very least those load times will jump significantly.

It kinda runs like ♥♥♥♥♥ (i7 4.0ghz,gtx970,16gb ram) but that's not a dealbreaker. The game looks pretty good to me despite the lowish frame rate(30-45 frequently). I haven't played any of the other recent city sims but they mostly sound like underacheivers. I've played Civ's IV & V like a champ and my childhood included what I'll call teh golden age of sims in the late 90s into the aughts with Sim City, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Theme Park, Theme Hospital, The Sims, MS Flight Sim, Sim Ant(?!), etc.

This game is dope as far as the gameplay goes and the depth of city planning that you can get into. At the time of this writing I have around 14 hours but this could easily be a 100hr game for me if I'm not careful. On top of the basic infrastructure and zoning you build you can delineate districts. Setting districts is cool because it allows you to not only set specific policies and perks, but to also apply modded themes to each district to give each area it's own unique aesthetic.

What makes this game work is that in the end it's really not that complicated and it's hard to get yourself into weird situations you can't build or terraform your way out of like I've found in previous sims. There was no moment of, "WHY isn't the water flowing to this part of the city?? It's connected!!" like I recall saying to myself in other games. Roads especially are easy to work with and with mods you can really jazz the shizznizzle out of your metropolis. The After Dark DLC is pretty cool looking too. Kinda pricey but ♥♥♥♥ it if you can get it on steam sale especially I'd say do it. I'm still waiting on the Snowfall DLC to be on sale though.

There is a built-in mod for unlimited cash. I guess the devs thought they'd save us the trouble. Ah but this mod will disable achievements... So of course there's a mod to override that :-D CHEATER

play rust instead
