The verdict
A deep, addictive business sim with life-sim and city driving. Early and mid game shine, but late game turns into sleeping and micromanagement; skip it if you hate tedium or want challenge.
Great for
Players who love tycoon micromanagement, logistics and slowly building an empire from nothing
Main risk
After the early and mid game, little to do but skip time and micromanage
What players love
