Screen HypeThe story is a bit mysterious, but I think that it adds an extra layer of intrigue to the game. It’s not all just monotonous city management. I was hoping for a game that wasn’t overwhelming or confusing; something that I could lose myself in for hours and not feel burnt-out. It was such a pleasant surprise to find that in Highrise City and I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested in city simulators!
GamesCreedMorgan WagenerSep 20233.9/5Highrise City is an incredibly immersive city builder with a sharp learning curve for those who expect it to just be a normal city builder, as a lot of the mechanics come from economic and resource management simulators. If you are familiar with typical city builders and are thinking Highrise City might be the same, you may just be biting off more than you can chew if you ignore the tutorials.

WayTooManyGamesLeonardo FariaSep 20236/10This ain’t it. There are good ideas in Highrise City, but the game is just plastered with nuisances that result in it not being as relaxing or accessible as other city builders. It is too deep in its logistic mechanics, almost to a fault. The beginning of each new save is also painfully slow, poorly explained, and convoluted, meaning that this game also lacks the “pick up and play” aspect seen in Sim City or Cities. It tried, and I respect that, but it needs an extra phase of fixes before I can call it a city builder worth hanging out with the other big boys.
