While it may be dated nowadays, it still holds a lot of potential for fun! Zeus is a charming game, one that you can start to play and lose hours to if you're not careful. It may not be as flashy or as fancy as newer releases, but the gameplay and game design make for a game that regardless of age is incredibly fun! The graphics are cartoony, but hold a certain charm for that too in my mind. It can also be quite challenging depending on your difficulty setting and the campaign you choose to play! Be prepared to make a few ugly, poorly laid out cities and if you're a stickler for organization you may find yourself googling the most productive layouts for housing blocks and resource areas. (Zeus Heaven is a great site for it!) Bottom line: It's a really fun game, and I've gone back to it many times in the nearly 20 years now since its release.
I adore this game. It's a very lowkey, fun title that is easy to get into, and can be surprisingly challenging at times. I think it plays better with the DLC, and offers more enjoyable options, but I still enjoyed the base game. The scenarios are the best part, though at times it can be a little bit of a wait for midnight to roll around and your money to come in. However, I play this game as something fun to do and a relaxing little distraction. Which it is. If you're looking for an intense can't look away or you lose sort of title this is not it.
