Overview: A simcity killer that does everything right, plain and simple.

Pros:
-Beautifully simple and easy to learn interface. Took me about 5 minutes to figure out where everything was.
-The "chirp" system of notifications is a really good way of bringing a realistic form of alerts into the game.
-Tutorial is very helpful but not in the way if you already know what to do.
-Map editor, asset editor, editor editor...
-Endless community assets, mods, and addons
-Beautiful looking and not hard to run on modern laptops.
-There is an immense amount of depth to the game and it is simplified just enough to make it so youre always doing something, but youre never confused. It is always clear what you need to do, how to do it, and why.
-You can rename anything and anyone, to anything you want.

Cons:
-A couple of bugs (that already have community fixes)
-Roads can be a bit frustrating at time. However, updates are already rolling out concerning updating / downgrading them.
-Intersections and redoing roadways when it becomes a high traffic area basically destroys any local economy based on those roadways. Wish there was a more efficent way of upgrading intersections themselves, rather than just having them prebuilt.

Final verdict:
If you've been looking for a city simulator that is fun, but simcity just didnt do it for you, then this game is for you.
9/10
