TL;DR at the bottom.

This game is charming. It's fun and certainly tests your planning skills. The graphics are cute, the music is lovely (some tracks are a bit reminiscent of SimCity 2013, for reference), and the game loop is... rather rewarding.

Though this game isn't without its downsides.

Sometimes the AI just gives up and won't do anything until you restart your game. Pathfinding is... questionable. For example, the AI seems to deliver things to general storage zones based off how close they are in general distance, but not pathfinding distance. And sometimes, they'll take weird long paths that make absolutely no sense.

Lets say you have an L shaped room and at the tip of that L is a general zone, and at the bottom of the L is a general zone, with a loading bay in the gap of the L. The AI will deliver things from the loading bay to the zone in the tip despite it being further to walk, because it's technically "closer". The game has a fair few of these moments.

Sometimes the AI will deliver things in unpathable areas, I've had moments where they've managed to store things BEHIND shelves, infinitely stalling projects until you manage to find and correct the issue on your own as there's no information when this happens.

Regarding the game loop, initially things are fine but as your factory begins to scale and you have a lot more employee's you'll find yourself having to craft thousands of basic items just to stay afloat. It becomes difficult to focus on challenges and late-game advanced projects when you're having to just churn quick projects for money.

Also, money. If you hit -$5000 you're done for, bankrupt. Game over. There's no loan system, and if you have a project that could potentially pull you out of that hole you'd wanna hope you finish it in time. Imagine being 99% complete on a big project and just hitting that -$5000 mark. It will happen, and it sucks when it does.

Despite these issues, I still recommend this game. But explicitly ON SALE. I would not recommend this full price. If the issues that plague the game are fixed, I'll happily edit this review. The dev's don't seem as active as they once were but I hold out hope these issues will be fixed.

TL;DR:
Music good, graphics good, game okay, but has its issues. All in all a little rough around the edges and needs just a little bit more love. Pick it up on sale, but not full price.

Oh boy. This was a tough one.

I love Colossal Order, and I love Cities: Skylines. I love everything they've done for the community (Taking suggestions, interacting, etc.) but I really feel they dropped the ball with this DLC.

The amount of content you get in this does not in any way justify the price tag. Who at CO thought eternal winters was a good idea? Why is there no seasonal cycle? Why does the heating system feel so cheap and tacked on?

Not to mention there's a large amount of problems and bugs in the simulation that they STILL haven't bothered fixing. What do we get in return? More cosmetics!

I feel CO has adopted a "We'll leave it to the modders" attitude. You guys want seasons? Oh I'm sure a modder will do that. You guys want bug fixes? Oh I'm sure a modder will do that. You guys want a realistic simulation? A modder will do that! (And they did - Check out Rush Hour.)

I've supported CO from the start but unfortunately if their DLC model continues like this I'm boycotting further purchases.

I got this for cards, and I regret it. I feel dirty for even having it in my library.

Judging by his Twitter, the developer seems 12 years old and is already off to a great start in life by outright scamming people with this "game". The game is literally made to be unfinishable.

Absolutely do NOT get this. Even for cards. The developer is a con and does NOT deserve the 10 cents you'd give him.

Brilliant little game that satisfies the "Animal Crossing" itch a lot of players seem to have. Packed with charm and things to do, not to mention that it's being actively developed and has free DLC. If you're a fan of games like Animal Crossing, I definitely recommend this.

Absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brilliant.
Exactly what you'd hope for in a City builder, this is what Simcity should of been.
Cannot recommend this more.

If you enjoy fighting games and 2D women with large "jiggly bits" beating eachother to death then this is the game for you.

11/10 GOTY.
