What’d you think?: I knew this was going to be a city-building/transit management sim, and expected to be confounded, with my only hope being icon-filled menus. Not only were the menus icon-packed, this game had an English language option! (Two, actually, UK and US) Unfortunately, I remained pretty confounded, as the game didn’t seem to have any objectives, at least as far as I could find. I didn’t really have the patience for a virtual ant farm and didn’t play for too much after realizing this, but there was a nice selection of starting cities to work with and some relaxing music choices. It had a day/night cycle and you couldn’t visit the game’s bank outside banking hours, which was an interesting touch.
