Rise of Industry is a game on the verge of greatness: Pros: + Towns grow organically. -- New shoppes appear which foster new opportunities, the town builds new houses for its residents too! + Nice progression, there is always something to do as you build your empire. + Intuitive menus and gameplay. -- I did not do the tutorial, the gameplay is intuitive. --- There is an easy to read help guide built into the game (top right corner). + Inspirational music which adds to the game's atmosphere. + Graphics which suite the gameplay. + Relaxing, but requires some planning and thought. Cons: + An issue for one may not be an issue for another, I strongly suggest that you play the game for a few hours then decide for yourself if the pros outweigh the potential cons. Closing Remarks: + Remember, GOG has an amazing policy where you can return the game within 14 days, doesn't hurt you to give it a chance. I gave it a chance and I am glad that I did.
