Leave a Review Pocket City
Good but gets old fast.
The game has the feel and mechanics of Sim city. It is fun to build and everything is simple and straightforward. There are a lot of things though, that make the game just so-so and I quickly grew bored of it. For starters, there isn’t enough going on to keep your interest for an extended amount of time. You build, you wait for funds, you build, you wait for funds. The ever increasing property cost forced me to quit purchasing property altogether and just concentrate on what I already had. Increasing the cost of all of the other property on the map every time you buy a plot is just plain stupid. This means that a plot you paid 50k for in the beginning will cost you 300k later. It’s silly. I stop buying property at 150k and just work with what I have. Once I max out the city, I move on to another zone.
And that is the nuts and bolts of the game folks. After about an hour or so of play, you have seen all there is to see and you look for something else.Show lessGundriver
Maybe expand this game instead of reinventing it?
First off I absolutely love playing this game. I spent endless hours in past decades playing SimCity, SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000, before EA bought Maxis and totally lost its way. Their modern games full of overblown design, microtransactions and terrible… you know, *simulation* are garbage. Pocket City is by far the best modern game I've found in the spirit of the old games.
But I want more. I know the developer has been working for the past few years on Pocket City 2, which looks promising but is maybe overshooting the target. I really don't want something radically different from Pocket City "1"… I just want more of it! I'd love to see more buildings, more quests, and maybe a bit more true simulation logic — stuff from SimCity 2000 that's lacking here, like property values being affected by proximity (e.g. don't put residential next to an airport or steel mill), properties being abandoned when demand goes negative, etc. This basic game engine is perfect just as it is… it just needs more content added!Show lessroom34
Best game I have ever played.
I never write reviews because I have never truly been blown away by a game, that changed with this one though. It is worth paying for, I have spent hours on this game since downloading it, it’s one of those that is hard to stop playing. There are no adds because you pay for it, and that makes the experience a million times better. There are so many areas to explore and different achievements to unlock that really prevent this game from getting boring. I want to quit my job and play this full time, it has changed my life. I honestly lose myself in the game.
I hope whoever else downloads this game has a life-altering experience as well.Show lessBeast124436532705928496
