    This game is rubbish. After playing for a bit, I decided it wasn't worth my time due to the pedestrian graphics, poor game play and overly complex and mind numbingly bad user interface. I checked the forum to see if there were any redeeming qualities and immediately found a (locked) thread about poor balance and bugs.

After playing for a bit, I decided it wasn't worth my time due to the pedestrian graphics, poor game play and overly complex and mind numbingly bad user interface. I checked the forum to see if there were any redeeming qualities and immediately found a (locked) thread about poor balance and bugs. The developer/moderator argued incessantly with their customers and warned people despite having no cause. I then wrote a review of the boring game play and mentioned that they were awful to deal with on the forums. The developer had it flagged so it doesn't count against their negative reviews.

    Project highrise is a sim tower game. The concept behind the game is interesting - build your tower and cater for your tenants whether they be office workers, residential or shops, and manage the infrastructure.

Additionally the game suffers in that income only comes in at midnight rather than in real time, meaning that often you are sitting waiting for the day to complete to get more money to build a little bit more. This is a frustration that ruined the game for me.… Expand

    It’s a competent, accessible sim, but there is nothing special about it, so I didn’t miss it after I stopped playing it for the sake of this review. [12/2016, p.72]

    Project Highrise offers a user-friendly environment and many hours of fun with the content-rich skyscraper construction and management simulation.

    A fun, varied and relaxing skyscraper sim. It can be a little bit formal at times, and there are some glaring deficiencies, but it is a welcome return to this theme nonetheless.
