What players say

Players describe Highrise as a social space with busy chat rooms and voice chat, but complaints run deep: AI-generated avatar art that does not match in-game models, frequent scammers and hackers, and player designs stolen and run through AI. Others report false permanent bans, and the community is split between those who enjoy making friends and those who find it full of predatory users.
