Buildings Have Feelings Too could have been a great strategy and city builder, but it just isn't quite up to standards.
Gareth writes: "The charm and originality means that Buildings Have Feelings Too! is infectious to begin with, however it doesn’t take long for things to go awry. The control system fast becomes clunky and it’s certainly not a game that is as intuitive as it should be."
TSA writes: There have been many attempts at gamifying the concept of city construction. Sim Cities zoning rules are the most famous – residential wants to be near Commercial, but not near Industrial, yet all three need each other in close enough proximity to function properly. It’s a holistic view of a complex situation that doesn’t really reflect reality. If I walk from my flat to town, I pass a bunch of shops, a lot of apartments, some businesses, a couple of breweries, and a handful of university and college buildings. This is all on one long road, which shows how cities, especially in the UK, flaunt the idea of zoning.
KeenGamer: "Buildings Have Feelings Too is a kooky new management sim game that stars buildings as the protagonists. But what is it like to play? This review traverses the intricacies of the mechanics and movement, and gets to the bottom of whether or not this game is worth a purchase."
It's rare to see a 3/10 these days...
