Buy it on sale

I like city building games but I found this game a challenge to learn how to play. The tutorials are almost simplistic and I find I had to go google search on utube how others played the game just to figure out how use certain functions. I hated it, then loved it and now just tired of it. Some things I never figured out. Like if I scroll the mouse too much or switch right to left I get stuck in satellite view and can't get back to normal view so I have to close the game and go back in. Also, when I first started out I loaded the game and started the campaign which is supposed to be a tutuorial but it didn't tell me to first go to the options menu to set up the keybindings(?) so then I got stuck in the first tutorial and couldn't go next and had to quit the game. Maybe more experienced gamers would already know this but as a newby it isn't easy to learn. Once I overcame a certain level of familiarity with the game I did enjoy the graffics but eventually became bored. I was constantly having to deal with spores and in game challenges that I didn't really want. I just like to build a city and watch it grow. I had the challenges turned down low but it seemed like it added on difficulties as the game progressed. Given how un-user friendly the game is I dont think it will be my go to game but that's just me. It has promise and more experienced gamers may like it but I wished I had waited and just bought it on sale or not at all.
