There isn’t much outside the main game mode, but this simple puzzler proves to have a bit of complex gameplay. It’s clear that accessibility was a focal point of the gameplay, as the concept is fundamentally simple and easy to understand. Gameplay takes place on a 5x6 grid which is populated by different color blocks, each representing city buildings. As long as more than one block of the same color is touching, they can be stacked to create bigger buildings. As you continue to bundle buildings, the remaining blocks will fall towards the bottom and any missing areas on the grid will be filled by new blocks that drop down from the top. When all possible moves are exhausted, including using all your mayor tokens which give you the ability to delete a block, the game will conclude and a score will be given depending on how successful your city prospered. It might seem like the concept is actually too simplistic, especially when there’s no time limit, but then this is all about strategy. Outside of the main game mode there isn’t too much added value. As you upgrade buildings to new levels, you’ll be able to change the appearance between a few different models from various regions around the world to give your cities a personal touch. At first glance SubaraCity appears to be a somewhat generic iOS puzzler ported to the Xbox, but after just a few rounds its apparent that’s not the case. There is a level of strategy needed, as just one or two wrong moves can sink an otherwise promising run. Unfortunately though, with just the single game mode there’s a good chance the legs fall out from underneath it sooner rather than later. If you're into puzzle games there's fun to be had here if you're not it may be worth looking elsewhere for your gaming fun on the Xbox One.… Expand
