Cityscapes: Sim Builder Positive Reviews

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!The moment I started playing this game I knew I was not going to be able to stop playing it. Boy was I right. Within an hour of playing this game, I felt the satisfaction of running a town even though I am not even close to that age yet. The city looks beautiful at night when all of the lights on the buildings come on. The game is very guiding if you read the directions and hints it gives you. It gives you signs if any houses are running low on anything like water or electricity. The game gives you all of the money you need to build buildings. I personally love the satisfaction of clicking a couple of buttons and poof! whatever building(s) you want gone will disappear. I would recommend this game for any other fifth grade students looking for an amusing, guiding game to keep them busy for a while but this game can be played by absolutely anyone looking for a good game. This game is so awesome and gives me the feeling of being the boss of a whole town. Hope you enjoy this game as much as I do! Miss fifth grader.Miss fifth graderVersion: 1.3.70

Love this game it does have two things I want fixedI love this game I play every day it’s amazing okay first thing is it kicks me out I play on iPad and after a certain time it crashes and kicks me out and I have to start over and lose builds I just bought using the v coins. Second thing is I have more then enough room but the dotted lines to place more buildings but they don’t let you I guess because it to to close personal I feel like the dotted lines around the map limits the game it should have at least one map that has unlimited space to make the city big because after some time you want to start moving things around but you can’t because there is no space to place an item you would have to trash it to make room which is another thing you should put an option if you want to move things to have a storage in the edit mode ?? Overall, I love the game.Strawhatlex3Version: 1.1.1

GreatI adore this game. It’s a great game to pass time or a game you can play for a solid amount of time. I will say, however, that the building merge system is a bit confusing. I may have accidentally skipped past the part that explains it, though. It would be great if we could quick-build on merged zones. For instance, say I use a building as fuel for another building’s merge. When I go back to the city, there is a spot where the (fuel) building used to be. It’d be awesome if we could just tap that zone and have it rebuild the building that was there. It can be a tad annoying to have to play around with building placement constantly. I think implementing an auto-build feature would make it a lot smoother. Especially for buildings that sit in weird sections like tight corners or odd shaped roads. Just my two cents! As a developer myself, I can understand the hard work that went into this lovely game..Devonm36Version: 1.2.1

LOVE this game, but…I love this game, and the fact it’s on Apple Arcade with no in-game purchases is amazing! Graphics are smooth, and not to mention, the cities are beautiful and look so life-like! I did want to report there’s a bug going around. Any time there’s a goal on the left hand side of the screen (say, it says to build 15 buildings). I build those buildings, and the count never goes on, making me lose the goal. Or, it says to increase education or reduce pollution. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to play until these issues are fixed. I earn money to build more buildings and take care of my city by doing those goals. I really hope they can be fixed SOON so I can get back to the game! Thanks so much! Giving you 5 stars because bugs happen to every game (not your fault). I know you guys care and are working hard to make things better!.MeganeericksonVersion: 1.0.2

This game has a lot to offer, but…I love this game, honestly, but but it has a few frustrating bugs and slight annoyances that brings my rating down to 4 stars. Starting with the pros, this game is just really fun, especially if you like this genre. It is decently detailed and has plenty if maps and hours of gameplay. You can do whatever you want. Because this game is part of Apple Arcade, there are no ads. Although, it does have its own currency and something called a “City Pass” but it isn’t in your face unlike games like Subway Surfers, if you know what I mean. Now onto the cons, it has a couple of bugs. One of the bugs I came across is when you place down a building it sometimes pretends the building isn’t there, making it have no effect. I also have some nit-picky cons about this game, including how the game restarts if you leave our phone off for long enough and the unrealistic pipelines and electricity. If also Is quite the battery eater, as on my phone, it takes up about 15-20 percent of the battery every 45-60 minutes. I haven’t tested the game on low settings though, but I imagine it would be a bit lower. Overall, I think this is a good game, but it has room for improvement. The expansiveness is almost overwhelming, but some small inconveniences lead me to the rating of 4 stars. I hope this game improves over time to be one of the best city builders on the App Store..CountingRug2904Version: 1.0.3

Gimme zoom!I’m changing my initial review as some of the bugs are squashed and some other complaints were my own misunderstanding. I’m adding a star for improvements. We STILL need more zooming out like Christopher Walken needs more cowbell, though! I’m still struggling with the “needs more” balance. I had a near perfect balance in a level 70 city and still got one house complaining that I was short 100 jobs. It seems like these should scaled on a percent basis. I’m also having a resurgence of having people complain about things I DO have. I have workplaces without jobs and jobs without workers. Wishlist: I’d like some kind of alert I’m about to get hit with unhappiness. It takes a lot to manage a huge city and check everything without zoom. I wish it was easier to see the radius a building affects. That caused a lot of my initial confusion. When you place the giant bus depot it looks like the area it affects is tiny but is actually quite large..ThislittleworldVersion: 1.0.2

I truly did enjoy this game, BUT one thing…Overall, having no in app purchases/being swamped in ads and making it impossible to do one single step before having to watch 10 ads, it’s been a little buggy. I ended up deleting the game over the bugs because it made it frustrating and caused me to lose the challenges given. It would list certain challenges and I would do them right away plus a little extra to spiff each challenge up and it wouldn’t count towards any of the goals/challenges…. I would also improve the electrical system as far as reach and power consumption and it would still say that they had no power and such. Idk. Over all it was a good game and one that was entertaining up until the bugs began lol. If these were corrected, I believe it would be one of the best..HaileywestphotoVersion: 1.0.4

I love itIf you like Cites Skylines, Sim City, RCT, Caesar,etc. you will absolutely enjoy this game. The maps can get really big, which I love, but we don’t have a mini map so it can be hard to navigate at times. I’d also like to have some sort of indication when something is wrong. For example, I was messing around upgrading a bunch of stuff in one area then I swipe around and there’s like and entire section of abandoned houses because I didn’t put in enough water. Don’t get t me wrong, I can see why you wouldn’t have notifications for that, but if there were like red dots on a mini map that would be helpful I think. Idk maybe that’s too much assistance for the player because it is very fun as is, but I’ve definitely looked for a mini map in the settings a couple of times..Bad_NewVersion: 1.0.2

No Offline Mode is a missed opportunityI have to say this is probably the most fun throwback to Sim City I have ever played. It is bright, keeps you interacting, let’s you establish yourself before resources and things become a balancing act. Easy fund earning. A fair and enjoyable way to earn the special currency to unlock landmarks and buy extra special buildings every day. Literally only complaint I have is there is no offline mode. Which is not mentioned in the game info afaik ahead of time. I got to find out when I had a long waiting room visit lol. This is a huge disappointment. I really hope they come out with an offline mode so I am not limited by connectivity. Being in the middle of playing on a public wifi connection while enjoying a morning coffee, and having the game suddenly kick you into a never ending load screen is frustrating..MsBelladonnaVersion: 1.0.3

Glitchy - Lacking in InstructionsAfter being kicked out of the game for the tenth time maybe, I decided it’s time to leave a review. Not sure why I’m having issues, maybe it’s the “last update” like everyone wants to blame things on, but it was one too many. I don’t have a memory problem, I regularly turn off my iPad when not I use, etc, etc… First off, my biggest pet peeve is the lack of information in the game. As you progress through it things will happen and a little window will pop up with the meaning of what you did, or little info on an occurrence in the city, but the that will be the LAST time you see that information. If you click on Help “?” you have to go to their website for it and there’s very little there. What you really need to do is join their Discord group for help. I don’t have to do that for other games, why this one? TBH I’m not sure if that’s a thing with games these days, to make you go somewhere else for help, but I’m not a fan of it. Overall, building my cities has been challenging, and I have no problem with that, it’s a process, I get it. I think I have 8 cities that I’ve started, but finding help has been more challenging. At one point I did send a message via their website and I got a reply that had nothing to do with my question. 🤦‍♀️ A game should be fun, this game is meh..VicenzaGalVersion: 1.2.2

Frustrating bugs :(I love sims! I have really enjoyed playing this game until my city gets large and the buildings no longer register that I have adequate trash pickup or enough electricity. It becomes so frustrating because I currently have buildings that have trash all in front of them when my trash meter says it has room for SEVERAL thousand more. Then my buildings level down ): or my factories will level down when they need more workers, after I build 8 of the biggest buildings. These bugs make me want to delete the game all together. But I enjoy the gameplay to pass time. I just wish these things could be fixed and then it would be a 10/10 game..CsssssssassVersion: 1.1.1

Late NightThe amount of times I get off is insane! I’ve never been one to make reviews because I hate complaining on a team or companies hard work. I have spent way too many late nights playing this came. I love almost everything about it. I’ve updated, will still crash and kick me out, I get so frustrated. If I win a badge, it will crash. I do wish there was more variety in the buildings. I would love to see a trailer park, 5th ward, country club areas. It would also be neat to have certain zones, like with your downtown area have levels of Taxes. Then with the taxes being able to buy landmarks, state park even, theme park for that city. I do like that the few animations on certain landmarks or buildings. Even with my suggestions, I would like to say all the hard work has not gone unnoticed..B.S. RanchVersion: 1.0.3

Easy on the tutorialI haven’t really played this yet because I’m short on time when I pull it up and I get what feel like endless unskippable explanations for gameplay. I get frustrated and close it. City games are complex, but you’re essentially selling a sandbox that people just want to jump into. Allowing users to skip in favor of jumping right in with a more streamlined, show rather than tell option feels like it would be better. Basically I just don’t like the talking head popping up to interrupt me; I’ve been playing city games since the original Simcity, I don’t need it explained… until I need it explained and ask for help. I’ll update if I ever make it past the tutorial 😅 I also just noticed you can’t play offline, which means I can’t play it. New York subways don’t have Wi-Fi. 😬.MisterblastyVersion: 1.1.1

Too many bugsToo many bugs to enjoy. Every time one reopens the map, there’s a different population and shopping and job capacity. Buildings that expand range, for example school bus yard or ambulance service, or capacity, for example teaching colleges, asphalt parks, residential parks, or even districts, tend not to work properly or are bugged, especially when stacked. Another example is that range buildings like the ambulance service or school bus yard will actually say “water range increased” when placed, even though they have nothing to do with water range. These are issues that should have been fixed long ago. I also agree with some other reviews that the game doesn’t present much of a challenge—it’s very easy to meet demands and upgrade population. The later game actually gets easier rather than harder as tax revenue levels up quickly..NexxinusVersion: 1.1.1

Love the game but…..Love this game but I find it highly irritating that it will force close randomly. Sometimes after I spent 20 min working in a section I created and it closes itself and when I open it back up I have to start over. I have in the past uninstalled and reinstalled game thinking that would fix the issue but it hasn’t. Even cleared memory on the iPad I play on and still the same force closing issues. Turned down the graphics in the settings even……. Would love to play the game more often but I’m irritated at the constant force closing..464636robyn17464757Version: 1.2.92

Super fun !!Finally a fun city builder game that isn’t trapped behind the EA pay wall! My ONLY issue is how hot my phone and iPad get while playing. I have pro models of both devices and, although not the latest versions, they are only one and two years old respectively. My phone especially gets to hot to even hold while playing. With it being summer time right now you can forget playing this by the pool, your device will over heat. And for that I give it 4 stars instead of 5. I was seriously considering canceling my Apple Arcade subscription all together before I found this game and despite the heat factor, I’ve played almost none stop for days! Wonderful game just needs some slight tweaks on the bad end to make sure it’s not frying phone lol..The Dalai WalrusVersion: 1.0.4

Entertaining but needs support for longevityI really enjoy the game and 80% is super intuitive and less glitchy since the last update. Fun times and I always enjoy starting a new map. There are however some weird scenarios that have no explanation/support to get a move on. For example, how to merge epic buildings? I can unlock them with in game earned cash, but never rank them? Theoretically I can, they’re eligible for merging, but nothing in game play explains how besides “you need more buildings!” “Ok, but how many, which type?” No rules online anywhere to really explain some mechanics, so each map peaks at like level 38 before I get bored. Once I work through each scenario I’ll probably drop..BrilliantmarieVersion: 1.0.2

Good city sim for touch screensI like this game a lot, especially early on. It doesn’t overwhelm you with information and alerts. It still provides you with enough information to make satisfying progress in the game. I played cities in the first three environments and they offer enough differences to be worth trying. My problem with the game is that when you have unlocked many of the cool building blocks, there is so much routine maintenance to do in your city, that you don’t get time to take advantage of the things you’ve unlocked. I think this game would benefit from some automations of mechanics like police and fire coverage so that there are fewer interruptions during the later phase of the game. I’m not sure, of course. I also tried this on Apple TV with a PS5 controller (in addition to iPad and iPhone) and it had some issues where highlighted items would not un-highlight when you moved the pointer away from them. Also, the control scheme is basically a virtual mouse and is not like playing a PS5 or XBox game. This gets tiring and therefore isn’t fun on Apple TV. The iPad and iPhone versions work well..Mr fooVersion: 1.0.4

Decent, but too repetitiveI like aspects of this game, and appreciate the efforts to improve it, but I find that behind the cosmetic differences, game play is too repetitive between levels. How about at least making the residential buildings look different by locale, and offering the ability to add level-specific points of interest? The daily and weekly challenges are also very repetitive and deletion of points of interest come up too often, especially given that you cannot replace them. Game play is focused upon growth, and between that and constraints on building options, other than as forced by the map, cities end up looking very much alike..Dad of a. 6yoVersion: 1.2.3

Great Sim game - needs a little work stillThe best city building game I’ve played in ages. Lots of interesting details about buildings and how the city is performing without the game being so complex it feels like work. There are a few that need to be tweaked. Font size for some information is really small and can’t be adjusted, even by making adjustments through settings on the accessibility menu for my entire phone. Building effect radius isn’t displayed, so there is more selecting a building and guessing where to place the next one than I would like. The ability to simply move buildings for free keeps it from being too much of a problem..Lucretia SwainVersion: 1.0.2

Great game, but needs some tweaksA ton of fun!! Need to be able to zoom out further though, so I don’t miss the request bubbles as my town gets larger, and so I can see the full coverage area of the building I am placing, or locate the areas requiring more utilities. It would also be nice to have hospitals, fire stations, and police stations clearly marked (like an H on top of hospitals, etc) so they are easier to locate and upgrade. Also, in the mode where you can check the utilities and place new buildings, when I do an upgrade it should default back to the build mode, instead of forcing me out of it and making me click back into it every time..LinnerlouVersion: 1.0.2

Great by Crashes Every 5 MinutesI’ve played this game for a few years. It’s honestly incredibly well designed. I remember I deleted it because it was crashing and virtually unplayable, and I hoped that if I ever came across it again it would be fixed. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I redownloaded and began to have a ton of fun again, playing it for a few hours a day. Then it started happening again. I can’t play campaign without it crashing every 5 minutes, losing the progress I made. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading as well as starting the campaign over again (losing 30+ levels), and its still happening. Update: I installed the update and the issue continues..TheChosenKeybladeMasterVersion: 1.3.00

Love it, but I could love it even more!This game has taken over my life. I play it may more often than I should. Which is a good thing really! My mind can relax and enjoy me time. The only thing that I have issues with is how much the game crashes. And when it crashes, if you are in pause mode, you lose any changes you made. I make a lot of changes frequently and hate that I have to do it all over again. And as many others mentioned, I wish the zoom could go out more. Hard to keep up when you have a big city. I feel like some areas get neglected. Other than that, this game is FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to see what’s to come..AririkafuVersion: 1.0.4

Fixed, thank you! (Suddenly unplayable. Crashing.)Updated review due to fix. :) Thanks for the quick update! Game playing again. —- FYI, the game is suddenly crashing more that’s its playing. I’ve submitted reports through the app, but am going to stop playing now until the next update. Currently can’t play even a minutes before it crashes. Sometimes is frozen upon loading game, have to hard close it. I’ll rewrite the review when crashing stops. Thx for making a user friendly version of this. I enjoy it when it’s working..Just want a simple trackerVersion: 1.2.51

So Fun but BuggyI love this game! But there are still lots of bugs to work out. One is that during a trial your city can be at 100 approval rating with zero issues, and then suddenly the failure screen pops up and says your score dropped to zero and you lost. Another is some buildings will always say they need water or jobs or waste disposal and cannot be satisfied. A third is often windmills think they’re not connected to a road and have to be deleted - and if two windmills are next to each other only one really counts for increasing electricity. There are more but I am going to keep playing and hopefully they are fixed!.BertonskiVersion: 1.0.3

Great Game, but…I just downloaded this game not too long ago and it is the most fun I’ve had on a mobile game in a long time! It definitely keeps me busy! I just want to say that they really did do an amazing job with this game. If I had to choose between Cityscapes & SimCity, it would be Cityscapes. But I was getting pretty far in my first world with a population of 70k+ people and then it just vanishes. I was pretty disappointed after putting a substantial amount of time on it. I want to start on another world but I’m just afraid of it happening again. Whatever the issue is, please fix it, and hopefully I can somehow get my world back..JonbriangVersion: 1.2.70

Love this game butLove this game so much! Addictive! But sometimes stuff doesn’t show up, like sometimes when I go to police stations, not all of them pop up and they are hard to find. Also upgrade arrows on the same page, sometimes one or two of them won’t show randomly. Also with there was a simply mode to make it easier to see my map, I can’t tell where anything is because there are so many buildings. I understand the design is part of the game and really cool, just a little overwhelming sometimes to get an overview of my city!.MefhodVersion: 1.2.2

SimCity Reimagined: I Love It!Let’s be honest. Most all of us played SimCity back in the day, and we pretty much loved it. But as EA is wont to do, they bought it and ruined everything. It’s now just a freemium mess, but thank goodness we have Cityscapes. This game is the current day equivalent of what SimCity should have been. It’s fully featured, well maintained, and most of all, FUN! It has a place on every Apple device I have for a reason. If you wish you could play the modern equivalent of SimCity without all the IAP garbage and general awfulness EA brings to everything it owns, this is it!.WhatusaymarkVersion: 1.3.70

Great, but there are bugsI really enjoy this game! I don’t have crashing issues like other reviews have stated, but I have recently began experiencing annoying bugs/glitches. I’m building in Mountain City and the citizens are complaining they need 2k jobs, but the factories are complaining they need workers. The houses that are complaining repeatedly go into a pattern of “+600 working” then immediately “-600 working”. I’ve tried removing the affected houses but it just does the same thing somewhere else. It’s nearly impossible to progress like this. Hopefully it can get fixed soon. Would also like to see the storyline back!.Emmaria23Version: 1.2.3

A mobile city builder that isn’t freemium garbageThanks to Apple Arcade we finally have a city builder on mobile worth playing. If you’ve played cities skylines, similar gameplay but instead of zoning you place individual residential, commercial and industry buildings. A campaign to teach you the game then challenge you, as well as a sandbox mode, buildings build instantly, none of this “5 hours to complete upgrade, pay 50 gems to finish now!” If you’re still reading this and have Apple Arcade just download it..N8R99Version: 1.2.4

Love it, but the camera controls aren’t funI love this game - it’s a great iOS city builder. I love the complexity of it, the little jokes your residents tell you, and the campaign. BUT - the camera controls make it really hard to play. I find that it just behaves differently from most games I’ve played on mobile. I wish it let me zoom out more, it’s hard to navigate around a small screen, but even on my 12.9” iPad it’s tough. I want to look at my city holistically, but it just doesn’t let me zoom out far enough. It’s also hard to spin, I wish it locked to a certain view and just let me zoom in and out and rotate..Hestu2025Version: 1.1.0

Not badA great game that's worth your time if you like city building sims. There are a few distractions that prevent me from enjoying the game in full. My chief complaint is in building in sandbox mode. The weather system can't be paused meaning that when it snows, the entire map is blanketed in white preventing you from seeing anything for a good 10-20 seconds. At first it's charming but then you realize you can't turn it off and you're stuck staring at a white screen. There should be more options, for instance, to turn off weather. Or turn off day/night cycle. Otherwise it's a good game..CalaviccialVersion: 1.2.5

Love this game but it’s not perfectI love this game and I hope they come out with more cities as I’ve unlocked them all. The goals don’t always work and the pollution goal almost never does. And a little more money when you level up would be nice. Constantly running out then my cities get mad. Also the demands are not consistent with each other. People want jobs but it says I need people for jobs. And the random things in different cities don’t always fill if their shopping or jobs. I have crazy roads going to them but still not filled for either..RobnkodiVersion: 1.0.4

Really Enjoy this Game until it started crashingI’ve been playing this game over the past few weeks and have really enjoyed it. It’s got some great elements and reminds me of the old SimCity games but with unique twists. The game play is easy to pick up and learn as you go. In short, I highly recommend…except now the game is crashing every single time I open it up. I suspect its because my iPad recently upgraded to the latest iOS version. Please developers put out a patch as soon as possible! Once the game is patched, I’m sure it will be lots of fun again..Gordonb25Version: 1.3.30

YOURE NEVER BOREDI have never really written a review but this game it’s.. it’s the best game honestly to kill time and you get addicted to it 😭! It has so many things to do at all times, you don’t run out of money because it reboots around every 30 seconds, you can customize the color of buildings, you can literally build your own city!! There’s people you take care of, shopping malls, houses, apartments, cops, jails, everything. It’s like a real city with pollution, day time/night time. I mean cmonnn! It’s everything!!.Anonymous43372829Version: 1.3.01

Great game! But…..What’s with the no nuclear power? Why not more futuristic energy? It’s a game after all. The power source could be anything. And if it needs to be realistic why are windmills one of the clean power sources? The plastics there are made of mostly not recyclable “ this is also true for solar panels, look it up”and the blades are not exactly friendly to wildlife. Also sometimes when you build something to fix a problem, the game doesn’t recognize that it been built for a bit. It would be a lot more fun if it was faster..LawrecneVersion: 1.3.70

Great game, but unstableAs a kid that grew up playing SimCity back in the 90’s, I have been wanting a game like this. It certainly delivers on execution. I would give is a 5 star, except for one BIG issue. The game CONSTANTLY crashes once you build a city up over around 150k population. It runs flawlessly on my IPhone 13 and iPad Air when the city is bigger. But once you get a bigger city (and the fun really starts) it crashing every 2-3 minutes and is unplayable. I’ve given up on my larger cities and just have to start a smaller one again. Very very frustrating..SouthFL-NoleVersion: 1.2.5

Good game but a bit frustrating at timesI enjoy the game play and a lot about this game but I’m a bit frustrated because I don’t understand merging. A tutorial would be really helpful on this as my city keeps telling me to merge but I’m not sure which steps to take. Auto merge keeps saying I need more max level buildings with no further information. Also, would love an easier way to update utility buildings. You can use maps but as soon as you click on one to update it takes you all the way out of map view and you need to keep doing that process to find the next one.By fiduciaryVersion: 1.0.4

But…So this game is fun… but. After a while incredibly repetitive. I can’t seem to unlock all the buildings and I’m a high level. I’ve given up playing for now. It needs work. Lots of work. It’s fun, but it’s not as good as it should be. I’m bummed because I enjoy it, but it’s difficult to figure out how exactly to level up to unlock all of the buildings. I’m tired of playing with my cities maxxed out size wise too. I have so many cities but I can’t build because I’m maxxed out size wise. I can’t get all of the buildings either. It’s frustrating. What started out as fun has grown tiresome..ScrambledeggshellsVersion: 1.1.1

Some problems to fixAt first sight, the game looks great. But I can’t pass the first request, I can see the cars moving but I can’t do anything. The game is not responding, I tried to restart the game but same problem.VieuxRoquefortVersion: 1.0.2

Decent City Simulator, but patronizingI find the amount of “guidance” given is excessive and annoying to the point of patronizing..IaefaiVersion: 1.3.50

Better than the Sim City versionI accidentally downloaded this thinking it was Sim City and I like this a lot more. There’s no wait time for resources or having to check in on the game every hour. You can play without wifi and it’s pretty easy. One thing I would change is being able to keep the colours the same when you add a clone building. One thing I’d add is being able to zoom in more! Especially on iPhone, the buildings are so tiny on the screen. I like to look at all the map details zoomed in, too..Hobgoblin22Version: 1.3.40

This game funSo I say this game fun . I wish you would be able to connect the city’s by airport in other builds like for trading and other stuff selling electricity . To our save game . It is really fun game and love it . Love to walk around the city as a person or ride the bus and . But really good to say it fun game and never dull..Wakka197Version: 1.2.92

目前最好玩的虚拟城市游戏好上手，不必须氪金，很好玩/.No999kkkVersion: 1.2.80

By far the bestI've been playing city builder games since Sim City 2000. This game is fantastic; it blows Sim City away in terms of graphics and simplicity, and to think it's available all on the iPhone makes it even better. If I had just one thing I could change, it's that if you decide to move a building, you always have to find a place to stick the building temporarily before moving it. It would be nice to stick the building into memory and then place it directly from memory..MarkDhasVersion: 1.2.60

Great game but lots bugsThe game continues to shut down unexpectedly, or is often non responsive when merges are done or some times objects won’t place even when there is sufficient room. Great game but the bugs need to get sorted out..A.Preston000Version: 1.2.51

A little too greenIt’s a decent sim builder. A tad too much on the ‘green’ side of things, but at least they let you make a city the tried and true way with cheap energy. I like how it makes fun of the overly woke characters and there’s a Karen type character complaining that water has hydrogen and wants it removed. It’s an odd combination of humour and “drive an electric car.”.PpalyVersion: 1.1.1

Good game butGreat city building game. One thing that i dont like is that it doesn't allow you make roads freely. Also instead of placing buildings we can just may be select an area for residential, commercial or industrial and buildings grow by themselves..GurjinderSahananVersion: 1.1.0

Great game but….This game is honestly so fun and addictive like I never want to stop playing it. It’s just to good!! I love it great job on it but there is one thing I would fix because the second quest I got I can’t accomplish it and it’s always says that I have to add more buildings and more houses but I’m running out of room so could u pls fix it?.J Seb DVersion: 1.0.4

Great game. Some improvements needed IMOOverall thank you! It’s great to have a non-micro transaction sim game on mobile again! I signed up for Apple Arcade just for this game. It’s a solid build with some great visuals. I would recommend a few changes though. - starting from scratch without things you previously unlocked when you move to a new map is frustrating. IMO you should keep what you unlock and you should only have certain items unlock per level. I’m debating whether to start another level just to repeat the same thing. Unlocks should be progressive. Otherwise, well done guys. Maybe just change up the story line a bit..XroyaleWchzXVersion: 1.0.3

Great potential but…Game crashes a ton…about every 20-30 minutes and doesn’t save changes so work needs to be redone, also you should be able to zoom out more to see your whole city, scrolling all over to see everything is frustrating and causes time sensitive thing to be missed. Removing the “merge” icons when you aren’t actually able to merge anything would help clear up an already busy screen!.Gamin' mamaVersion: 1.0.3

I absolutely love this gameWhat I’ve been looking for in a city building game! I’m really excited for updates. I emailed them about a bug and they replied back the next day with a suggestion to help me until they could fix it ! A sandbox mode would be nice, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re already working on it! Still a lot of fun without it.MillybeesVersion: 1.0.3

Crashes on the sun city levelSuper fun, but when I unlock the sun city level on iPad it crashes every single time upon entering.SiiiiiriiiiiVersion: 1.0.3

Great GameReally great game! Finally a new contender in the city building universe. Its super easy to learn and the characters are so cute. Can't wait for more updates and see this game grow.TorbenlauxVersion: 1.0.1

Great game!Love Apple arcade games! So refreshing to just have a game you can play that’s not wanting all of your money to progress. This game is very fun my only complaint would be that you can’t zoom out very far,Which is why I only rated at four out of five stars. I would love to be able to see more of my city at once without having to scroll around all the time.KrisfromentVersion: 1.0.2

Great time burnerSlick city manager, really fun to play and hours go by while I'm playing! Graphics are fun, interface is intuitive and TONS to unlock. So happy this was put on arcade, what an amazing value! A few requests that would make this 5 stars: #1 Ican't play this without my iPad plugged because it really drains the battery. #2 the building merge system is confusing and needs a better tutorial. Why am I stuck with so many residential properties that can't be merged? How do I fix it? You shouldn't need to go on Reddit to understand basic gameplay. #3 there's SO MUCH scrolling because you can't zoom out far enough..KellycentralVersion: 1.0.2

Fun game butLove the game. Lots of fun. But didn’t realize it would drain my battery in like 20 minutes..A Dumb ApeVersion: 1.0.2

Great job in removing Caucasian males in lead roles.Fun to play! They’ve done a great job with having diverse women (pronouns?) in positions of power. Since this a game about climate and environmental control I dig how the producers made a very strong effort to curb males from being in lead roles, very equitable! Good job with Inclusion!.BlahabcdefVersion: 1.0.2

Good overallGreat game up until I hit the point where I can’t merge any residentials because I need more max level buildings? I feel like I have an absolute ton of them.ShiftyshiftyVersion: 1.0.2

Data doesn't sync across ios devicesI play on my phone and macbook and I realized that the maps don't sync across devices. There is no "save" button so there is no way to upload the data. Wishing there was a way to sync maps faster because.. then I have to do it all over again lol.Pineapplejelly32Version: 1.0.4

Rich Gameplay ExperienceAnd yet accessible to this beginner. I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches so far. My first city isn't very advanced, but it's beautiful and fun any pace you play it. Lots of pretty level-ups, exclusive bits and bobs if you want to go after them. Many layers of strategy to explore too. I see myself spending countless hours inside this game. Too many!.JulililloVersion: 1.0.2

Cityscapes: Sim Builder Negative Reviews

Lots of bugs NOT fixedAlthough, I submitted bug reports after almost each version, the issues introduced two versions ago are still there. Honestly, If these glaring things, which were not there before, were not fixed, I don’t know what you actually did fix! Somebody wanted to redo the value of everything, fine. But you seem to have changed things haphazardly: “add police kiosk or volunteer fire station that say +6, when it still adds +4, as before. Same with main fire station and police station, before was + 6 now it says +8, yet still adds +6, as before. It just seems so sloppy. Somebody needs to review everything that was changed 2 versions ago, the value of things (which makes no sense anymore), as well as how much personnel they ad, to at least match what it says. You obviously don’t test these releases. Anyone who plays the game and played the game before can see these issues immediately..G4b3-18Version: 1.3.60

Has potential but…As a long time game developer (and city simulation enthusiast) I love seeing new games. That said, this one seems to suffer from a number of issues and puzzling design decisions: - can’t skip tutorial - can’t skip cinematics - confusing UI - if you back out, close app, or crash during tutorial it won’t save the progress and will make you start over - OK looks like $0K so when you have OK next to an amount (Eg 4K) becomes confusing - stuttering even on an iPhone 12 Pro Max - some things difficult to see when it’s nighttime - huge memory hog - not sure why there is a tutorial when the game starts giving you tutorials with your advisor and as you unlock things - also all the ‘tutorial’ really did was show me I could make a cool looking city but didn’t introduce me to anything but a house or industrial building even though there is quite a bit more - multiple notifications may go off while your advisor is giving you a call to action which may not be intuitive - and you can’t click any other notification until you figure out the call to action - things you should be able to click on you can’t (Eg the population level, have to click on what level you are) - seems like graphics have decent detail but can’t zoom in enough to really see Overall has potential but this seems more like an alpha than an actual game.MrMarathonDurandalVersion: 1.1.0

GlitchyThis game started out really fun. Unfortunately, it is so glitchy and illogical. For instance, you’ll have sick people… nevermind they live right next door to a doctor’s office with space, so you upgrade the doctor’s office just in case… won’t work… the place will still shut down. The seems like there is an intention to have a balance between the shopping, residents and jobs, but it is so illogical. I expect it has something to do with the buildings leveling up, but you have zero control over that so balancing them is impossible for more than five minutes. No matter what you do, your city is going to get shut down. My biggest pet peeve is not the game play, but another bug. I play this game and all games with the sound off. For some reason as my city begins its inevitable shut down the sound kicks on and after EVERY SINGLE action the people BOO! Not only is it annoying, but demoralizing as well. Booing? Really?!? I’m done with this game..ShouldcookmoreVersion: 1.0.2

Fun, but Very BuggyThe core gameplay of Cityscapes is excellent, and I really love the progression system: you steadily unlock new buildings, larger buildings, and more systems to manage as your city grows. It’s really satisfying to see your small town grow into a city with a whole new set of needs to manage. My biggest complaint, though, is that the game is extremely buggy. It crashes or freezes up frequently, sometimes specific elements of the UI will stop working until the game is restarted (ex: buildings will no longer allow you to move their placement location), and at one point fairly far into the game the app crashed and all my save data was lost, forcing me to start again from the tutorial. I don’t seem to have any issues like this with other apps or games. Aside from some small UI complaints (I REALLY wish you could zoom out further), the bugs are by far my biggest complaint about an otherwise very good game..StereochildVersion: 1.0.2

Crashes too muchI really love this game and I have spent hours playing it. At times the quests can be redundant-like upgrading a building over and over, but The games always seems fresh with the variety of building choices. The biggest problem that I have experienced is constant crashes. In one hour, the game booted me out over 10 times. It is close to being unplayable. I have lowered the graphics but this seems to have little bearing . I am on my 4th city and really have to consider if the game is worth continuing. Every time the game crashes, I loose my immediate progress. It is a hassle to sign in again and again. I do hope the developers fix this issue. It s a wonderful game if u can play it longer than 5 minutes before it crashes. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 10/21: I tried to give this game more stars but the rating system is even glitched!!! I continue to play this game but in the last hour, the Game booted me out close to 15 times. None of my progress was saved. Each time I had to log in again. It is unfortunate because this game is fun and addicting. I don’t know if the developers are taking The multiple glitches noted in the reviews seriously. Hopefully, they will work on fixing this game because it is really fun and offers a lot of gameplay in one small package. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.Kag 82Version: 1.2.2

Bugs and tedious designI wonder how this was allowed to be on arcade in the first place - this is a paid service, and I’ve not once encountered an app with so many glitches that don’t ever seem to go away. I like what this app is, I don’t like how it was designed. I don’t really like how many actions it takes to get to a particular item over and over and over again. I don’t like how you lay out a grid for space, and despite the nonverbal logic that items can and should be placed on said grid, you can’t do that. I don’t like that you can’t zoom out more. The music is really bad too y’all. If you’re trying to be sim city, be more like sim city. If you’re trying to be your own thing, I’m sorry, but you have to try harder and think differently. This seems so elementary from the top down. Give this a good solid look and try again..J__FoxVersion: 1.1.0

I hate giving bad reviews, but THIS...This game started out as a very fun, very addictive city-building game. However, after about a month of play, it has a fun-killing glitch: it erases all your progress on maps that you've worked hard to build up. It erases all the special buildings and landmarks that you earned/bought and placed on those maps -- those buildings and landmarks don't even get put back in your overall "storage". They just flat-out vanish. All the stuff you earned from their monthly event? GONE. I tried emailing support, and after one canned response asking for more info, I have not heard back. Other players I'm friends with report the same issue and same lack of response and help. It's with a heavy heart I say this: pass this game up. Do not bother with it. Not until they address the glitches and issues and FIX THEM..ZenfrodoVersion: 1.1.1

Deleted entire city!I was playing this game happily. The graphics were great the music and sounds were amazing. That’s when I exited out of the game. I looked on the App Store to find my sister a game because she wanted a new one. We couldn’t find anything so I went back to City Scapes. That’s when I realized that my ENTIRE city was deleted. It said that the map I had just used 2 minutes ago couldn’t be used until I reached level 13. I was furious! It told me to start another map and I did thinking my city might appear. But of course it didn’t and I wrote this review and now I’m about to delete the app. Honestly the only reason I’m giving this 2 stars and not 1 is because it was fun while lasted. I really hope you make this app better for iPad users..Edith FoleyVersion: 1.2.4

C for effort..Once again Apple Arcade has made me write the same review. It’s a nice concept of a game. But poorly executed. I could detail all the annoyances with it but just save yourself the hassle and don’t download it. It honestly doesn’t even explain its own game mechanics to you so you can’t tell what is happening with your buildings a lot. You merge buildings, but to what? Does it increase the population? It just shows you a picture of the new building you’ll create from your old buildings and no other info. Then your buildings will randomly upgrade without you so you’re left wondering how the heck your population/work/shops ratios abruptly are thousands and thousands of people off. It’s terrible. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Just don’t do it..LorienVersion: 1.2.51

It keeps getting worseAfter the last update, I said I was having crashing problems. Those have stopped but now the game isn’t functioning. I will be doing the tasks that are asked of me but I still fail the projects. It doesn’t register anything I’m doing. My approval rating keeps going down because citizens will need jobs, but I will have a factory that needs workers and they don’t ever balance out. Now I had to restart the game because it was giving me error messages and it deleted everything I had been doing in trials mode. I agree with others that a free- play mode would be much better, but only if the constant bugs get fixed. Very frustrating..Apes87Version: 1.0.2

Love the game but this latest update is horrificGame is super fun but devs need to do some serious debugging. Previous to the latest update the game would crash about every five minutes when my city became too large. Following the latest update I haven’t experienced any crashes but the gameplay is awful. Issue bubbles persist long after the necessary changes are made in game which makes the trials unplayable. I would rather honestly just deal with the app crashes. The latest update feels like a major step back to the launch version of this game, just super unpolished. Please fix this devs, looking forward to playing sometime soon. I will rewrite my review if these issues are fixed..CJYiCloudVersion: 1.2.92

Not what I expectedThis is much more of a city manager than city builder game. Your city will always be the same square design in order to be efficient with the space you’re given. The layout of your city will be more about placing buildings that the citizens demand more than it is about the actual design of the city. Also, I’m sick of the sustainability propaganda that this game loves to shove in your face. “Mining bad”, “wind farms good”. There’s enough of this irl, we don’t need it in games too. Wind farms require a ton of mining too you know? And have killed many endangered animals? And that natural gas is a relatively clean source of energy? And so is nuclear? But of course these facts don’t go along with your agenda..X-lemVersion: 1.0.4

Fantastic Game loosing one more starsA really addictive game. So sad I got so much problems keeping my city great as the server makes me loose it. Up to now I’ve lost every city. It generally just disappeared when I open the game but the last one dropped from 2,6 M to 1,8M from a connection to another and let it like a Sim City’s monster or tornado has crossed it. I tried to send you an email twice (one last week and one last month) and I got no answer. I’m not sure if I’ll be continuing building in that context..Applelow13Version: 1.0.4

Can’t see the whole cityYou cannot zoom out nearly far enough. I want to see the city I have created but can only see a handful of buildings at a time, and it is annoying to have to scroll around the city instead of just zooming out more. I just want to be able to see the city I have built, which is the point of the game!.AndrewwwwwwLVersion: 1.0.3

Repurposed micro transaction gameI was expecting sim city, but instead got FarmVille. Recommend Outlanders instead to anyone looking for an engaging sim game. This game is very very dull. It’s clearly just a hastily repurposed micro transaction game. The pacing is very off and you basically have no real control over your city. Very disappointing and rushed job to make it into Apple Arcade. The other sim games in Arcade are significantly better. Personally, I suggest you give Outlanders a try!.Tiny ViviVersion: 1.0.3

Terrible game play!Why can’t I zoom out and see the whole city? So frustrating having to constantly be navigating around the city to find anything, it’s difficult to understand the city as a whole. Uhg! 🙄👎 🤢 But the absolute worst part is that the game play feels soooo much like a “pay to play” game with all the pop up talking heads and NON STOP push to progress! Build! Build! Build! Upgrade this! Upgrade that! Build another school, even though you already have more than you need!!! Build another garbage dump, even though your current one is already 3 upgrades beyond your cities capacity!!! Build! Hurry Build! Nag nag nag! Don’t kid yourself, you’re just a puppet Mayor. The pop up heads are running this city, not you. This game is an unsatisfying, stressful and frantic way to waste you’re time. 🤮.IndependenterVersion: 1.0.0

Terrible InstructionsIt kept telling me my people needed jobs so I built about 10 factories and it still kept saying they needed jobs so I built all the factories I could but then my level went down anyway. It's like there's no way to give the people enough jobs. How many factories am I supposed to build? Was fun for the first 10 minutes but when it gets to the point where all you're doing is dropping factories all over the place but the people still aren't happy it makes no sense. Disappointed. It looked cute and fun bu there's no guidance on what I'm supposed to do. Deleted the game..Jason BartlettVersion: 1.1.1
