Reminds me of playing Sim City.

It may be no Cities: Skylines but it's still a simulation of a city. Seems a fair title to me.

Instantly want to play SimCity again. It can't be just me.

Reminds me so much of SimCity, only you can't raise taxes.

Original Sim City had the same issue?

Did we learn nothing from Sim City?

Play Cities: Skylines instead. It's what I always wanted SimCity to be.

Wait wait... how old are you? This is a port of the ground breaking game Sim City. Look it up, you'll be pleasantly surprised :D
