Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 4 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

+ buona alternativa ai simcity, discreto numero di edifici - nel finale diventa ripetitivo e se insorge uno squilibrio nei fabbisogni l'intera città può collassare in pochissimo tempo senza possibilità di rimediare, tocca aspettare che la popolazione abbandoni e si declassi per poi rifinanziare i bisogni primari, scarso editor per la progettazione di ponti
Toplumsal sınıfların kontrolü mekaniği bu oyunu başka bir seviye yapıyor.
这是个比较老的模拟城市,以前玩的盗版,玩得不亦乐乎。现在上车补票。操作比模拟城市简单一些。

It's an old game, but you get enough fun out of it so it's worth the price.
Nice city builder with decent graphics. In this one, the focus is on neighborhood demographics, so balancing your have-nots and blue-collars and several other socio-economic groups becomes important. Some of them don't get along so you have to be sure your neighborhoods are developing in ways that don't lead to "cultural tensions". As I'm writing this, I haven't yet beaten the first scenario, so I'm basing my review on the game's premise and graphics. I'll tentatively say that the scenarios aren't easy, but they appear to be doable. But there's also a free-mode, so I'm not worried. As someone who loves CS:1 for the ability to walk down its sidewalks and look around, I'm happy with this game. Decent price, interesting variation on its focus, and it doesn't make my mid-range 10-year-old computer run too hot. Definitely recommend.
设计上独树一帜的好游戏,短小精悍的童年回忆;如果玩过中文的学习版了解了机制和各种数据,那么即使是英文其实也能玩得下去且玩得很好,尽管我还是希望能有个中文。
I was pretty excited to see this on the Steam store and got it on sale. Brings back great memories (or fuzzy ones at least) as I had the DVD copy back when this was new. While it may not be able to compete with what Cities: Skylines may offer, City Life is interesting in the sense where you can manage the character of your neighbourhoods or zones; witnessing the chaos and absolute carnage when you place people of extremely opposing worldviews within earshot of each other. Many a time the SWAT team had to step in and get everyone to be calm and civil and ♥♥♥♥. It reminds me of SimCity Societies which came out a few years after this one, but compared to SCS, City Life runs smooth and hasn't crashed on me, yet. Worth buying IMO. Kinda works like a city-builder palate cleanser. You play this for a while, move on back to newer titles and forgot this was in your inventory... for a bit.
City Life 2008 - Возведите город 21-го века с помощью City Life!City Life 2008 Edition — это строительный симулятор нового поколения. Трехмерный движок игры поднимает планку качества детализации и анимации данного жанра на невиданный ранее уровень и дает полную свободу творчества.
I'm very nostalgic about this game. When i was a kid I played very often City Life (not the 2008 edition). Back then, the graphics were rather nice, the soundtrack is very cool and very 2000's and the gameplay was very innovative. It's such a shame they didn't try to remaster this game, as nowadays the UI and controls are very oudated. Worth playing in 2025? Not sure, but my nostalgy is taking over!
