WTMG's Leo Faria: "This ain’t it. There are good ideas in Highrise City, but the game is just plastered with nuisances that result in it not being as relaxing or accessible as other city builders. It is too deep in its logistic mechanics, almost to a fault. The beginning of each new save is also painfully slow, poorly explained, and convoluted, meaning that this game also lacks the “pick up and play” aspect seen in Sim City or Cities. It tried, and I respect that, but it needs an extra phase of fixes before I can call it a city builder worth hanging out with the other big boys."
"The Frankfurt-based (Germany) indie games publisher Deck13 and indie games developer FourExo Entertainment, are today very glad and excited to announce that they have just released the "Metro & Planes" DLC for their city builder/economy sim “Highrise City” (the said DLC is available right now for PC via Steam and GOG)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
NoobFeed Editor Kurtis Seid writes - It is still unclear what Highrise City has to offer over other city simulation games. It mostly does things the same as other titles and doesn’t do much to differentiate itself. It might have been more fetching if it had been released a few years ago.
"The Frankfurt-based (Germany) indie games publisher Deck13 and indie games developer FourExo Entertainment, are today very proud and happy to announce that they have just released the full version (v1.0) of their their city builder/economy sim “Highrise City” (v1.0 of the game is available right now for PC via Steam and GOG)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
