Citytopia® Build Your Own City 4+

*Developers* PLEASE READ!! We should be able to buy the exact card that we need to upgrade or purchase something at least up to 3 times a day!! It’s no fun to play when you’re just stuck waiting for the exact cards you need and you have no control over what the game gives you. I have 20/10 cards on some buildings and 7/50 on others!!! So FRUSTRATING. Also you can really get rid of the colors they’re just unnecessary and we’d much rather have cards we can use. LASTLY, PLEASE MAKE THE GAME MORE INTERACTIVE!!!! We should be able to visit other cities and we could even do challenges/ missions together with friends. It would help with all the waiting. Please fix some of these things with updates!!

5+ year’s playing EA’s SimCity Build It, now I’m obsessed with Citytopia. The visuals and details are a lot better on Citytopia, but two day’s into it, it has become obvious that these two games have different focuses, where SimCity focus on building, Citytopia focuses on how a city functions internationally. But that’s fine, I love both. The issue with Citytopia is that: 1, the visual effects, especially the ones when you upgrade, when you get new cards are just too much, it has become a huge issue for the fluidity of the game because you are constantly interrupted and distracted by these visual effects. 2, the fact that all roads are ore-built is really bothering those like me who like to design the city landscape in their own way. 3, whenever you go back to the game, you’d have to collect all the money bags hovering on nearly all of the buildings, I don’t mind the work l but it blocks the view of the city, note that being able to give your city a nice bird view is one of the biggest reasons why people play city buildings games. I would like to spend more time and money on this game if I see these issues being dealt with.

I start and in playing for about 10 minutes I got about a minute of actual gameplay (not an exaggeration), and that was skipping a good chunk of the ”unlocking” scenes which normally take half a minute at the very least if you’re getting more then one item. This game does more than hold your hand, it does everything short of actually forcing your fingers through a horribly annoying tutorial. If they had an option to turn off said tutorial or automatically skip the flashy scenes when you open the card packets and level up it wouldn’t be bad but when I just started, forced through a several minute long tutorial, level twice within two minutes and force through ANOTHER tutorial where I am again forced to do things? Well, you as see the resulting frustration here.
The reason I’m even considering continuing is that the city build appears to be better than sims city and the aforementioned annoying animations and tutorial *shouldn’t* be a problem as you continue to play.
