It checks a ton of boxes that should make me like the thing, but I just did not like the game that much in practice. I dunno, just felt like it was too much on rails, more-restricted in layout than something like a typical Sim City-ish game. Like, I felt less like I was just experimenting with how a lot of levers interact, as I do in a typical city-builder, and more like I'm just sussing out the right order of levers to pull. permalink fedilink source parent
