What players say
82% of 9,868 reviews are positive · 82% of 41 in the last 30 days
Players praise the detailed city simulation, regional connections, transportation planning, and soundtrack. The dominant complaint is poor compatibility with modern Windows systems: players report launch failures, frequent crashes, lost progress, resolution problems, and needing community patches or launch tweaks.
