A 3-star game, but I keep playing it!
I actually keep coming back to this game. Its core algorithms are compelling. However, once you understand how to play, it really is just you and the algorithms, and nothing else. For example, once a child reaches 10 years old, they are considered an adult and can become a worker. This is fine as an equation; 10 = adult; it's simple. To grow the population, you need an adult male and an adult female to move into a house together. This is also fine as an equation: in the game there are two types of adult, therefore, one adult of each type + space in household = additional member of population But like... it means you will routinely have scenarios where a 10 year old moves into a house occupied by a 50 year old, and they will have a baby, because the equations are simple. They're not real people; I'm not offended or anything, but it is an example of how simplistic and in need of polish the story around the game is. I understand that the game is not super concerned about the story; at core, it's an algorithm about meeting people's basic needs. But it kinda makes the game feel like I'm just plugging numbers into a simulator to get the equations to compute favorably. Of course, that is exactly how games function, behind the story! It's just that I personally do not want the pretense of a game to ever feel so stripped away that it exposes the mechanics to that degree. Tbh idk if I'd recommend it, but I sure do keep on playing it!
