    As someone who spent their childhood cutting their teeth on Sim Tower this game rocks... I can honestly say this is one of the first tower games I've played that gave me the same excitement I felt as a kid. The developers are also very responsive on the steam forums. If you loved playing Sim Tower as a kid pick up Project Highrise - you won't be disappointed.

    Absolutely addictive.

    Balancing the many (many) needs of your tenants, along with designing something aesthetically pleasing is deceptively difficult. It's true that there's not much variation between room types, but the workshop will soon sort that out. There's ALWAYS something wanting your attention and I've already been playing for a few hours and it feels like five minutes.    Absolutely addictive.

    Balancing the many (many) needs of your tenants, along with designing something aesthetically pleasing is deceptively difficult. It's true that there's not much variation between room types, but the workshop will soon sort that out.

    There's ALWAYS something wanting your attention and I've already been playing for a few hours and it feels like five minutes.

    There are lots of different types of offices, restaurants, shops and apartments to build, each influencing something near it in different ways.

    For example;

    One office wants greater variety in restaurants that serve dinner, you plop it down and the guy next to him starts to complain about the smell.

    Meanwhile, the restaurant complains because they can't empty their rubbish, so you pop a rubbish bin down; the guy near that starts to moan about the smell and next to the restaurant has become too noisy so one of your tenants demands a rent decrease.

    I love this sort of thing because it absorbs you for hours. I really love this game - I'm sure there's a perfect balance to be struck with placement but I'm yet to find it. I'm enjoying the search though!    … Expand

    El juego en si no es tan malo , me gusto el juego por que desde que lo vi , me encariñe con el juego por que se parecía bastante al simcity , y cuando lo probé , me costo un tiempo en saber bien a jugarlo , he encontrado bugs en el juego pero es lo que menos me importa

    A small game, fun and diversify.

    You must build a tower but manage many parameters :
    Does the restaurants stinks so bad it smells in the apartment upstairs ?
    Does the workers makes too many noise for Mrs Smith ?
    Does the doughnut stand makes enough money daily ?
    Does Mister C.E.O can eat french for breakfast and italian for diner ?

    But it stays manageable !

    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]

    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.
