What players say
Players praise the social group system where different demographics clash, creating chaos that requires police intervention. Several note the camera controls are stiff and the UI feels outdated, while a few mention bugs at high population. Longtime fans are nostalgic, but newcomers point out stronger modern alternatives like Cities: Skylines.
