Go-Go Town!

I enjoyed this game a lot. But if you have too much waste, without warning, birds spawn. They are ruining everything and are annoying to get rid of. You can't focus on fixing the litter problem really either because they spawn every few seconds. It so random, in an otherwise lovely game. I hated it so much, I sadly don't want to play anymore.

Once you build the town hall, PAUSE. Turn your train station off. There is no rush. The game comes at you quick, and you want to do everything, all at once, until your town is a scattered mess of chaos. Terraform and move your town hall and train station somewhere you want it. Pave roads and fill holes. The game will feel less overwhelming and you'll be happier with your town right out the gate instead of dreading re-arranging the chaos. Great game!

说到2026年最让我上头的游戏，go-go town必然是榜上有名。这是我沉浸式玩的第一款城市建造类游戏，可爱的画风，简洁易上手的操作系统与持续升级带来的正反馈，让玩家在创造过程中时刻充满动力与热情 城市建设初期，基建不完备，砍树采矿收菜捕鱼送货倒垃圾，种种维持城市运转的事务都需要玩家镇长亲历亲为，因此前期规划小镇布局的时间相对比较少，游玩时会感觉一丝疲倦。但是这种疲倦的尺度拿捏得恰到好处，不会让玩家感觉厌烦，产生退游冲动；相反每次收获与送货都能带来满足感与自豪感。中期玩家会解锁各资源区的自动化产线，获得物流中心与清洁中心，玩家镇长可以花更多的时间在规划布局之上。后期，这款游戏已经变成了挂机游戏，骑上我亲爱的袋熊，围着小镇一圈一圈闲逛，看看人来人往，看看账上的金币飞速增长，这就是乌托邦一样的狗狗屯 城市建设与运转需要人手，游戏中获得雇员的方式是满足游客的需求后邀请入驻，随后可以将入驻的居民安排在任意岗位，全年无休，每天工作24h，并且游戏没有给员工支付工资这一设定。那些因为美景美食留下来的游客，变成了最廉价的劳动力，ta们是否会后悔呢？从ta们脸上，再也看不到任何表情，只会日复一日劳作。开车撞倒游客时，ta会表达愤怒，开车撞倒雇员，ta只会说我可以自己站起来，随后继续麻木地前行——乌托邦的背后，又磨灭了多少人性 当然，把打工人的痛苦代入到轻松愉快的建造游戏里，影射在NPC身上实在不妥，这也是我如火如荼建设五个小时小镇美美下机后突发奇想的念头。在游戏过程中，在被建造小镇的成就感与满足感包围的时候，再忧郁的人也能感受到快乐，这就是go-go town的魅力

My town is disgusting and a cluttered mess, but I'm having a great time. This game is a little Two Point, a little Cult of the Lamb, and a little Animal Crossing. It's cozy and cute and has just enough grind to lock in and easily lose track of a few hours. The game also includes exploration and manual resource gathering, which is a nice change from other management games I've played. Oh, and so many vehicle options! My front yard is cluttered with them and I'm not ashamed. Anyway, I've been playing exclusively with my Steam Controller (witness me!) and I haven't had any issues, even though the game says it only has partial controller support. Since EA saves won't be playable after 1.0 comes out later this month, I think I'll stop where I am right now so I can build an actual nice town once the game is officially released. FUPAVILLE WILL FLOURISH.

i love go go town it makes me want to go go live my life and not go go kill myself!

In theory this is exactly the type of games I love. But after a few hours I see quite a few issues. 1) automation comes late and is not clear Firstly as far as I can see you only get shop automation initially. At town level 1 you get forester and miner automation. it may be due to me not understanding the locking tutorial, but I am unsure how to tell my forester that no i don't need fluff, I need field mushroom. But basically the automation at that point is neither easy, nor is there much of it. 2) waaaaay too much garbage If you were getting cleanup automation i would not care that much but there isn't a cleaning automation early. So I am spending half my time running garbage. In a few days I went 6 to 8 times doing garbage run. That's more than 100 garbage items. and I had to manually clean everything. 3) item moving and storage is not fun. You barely have 16 items you can carry and chosing which you have to move lacks QOL. Worst: some item you can only transport 1 or 2 (e.g. field mushroom) so without transport and gathering autoamtion you keep running back and forth to fill your tricket shop. IMO 3 things needs to be reworked- at minimum: * QOL on transporting stuff. Don't arbitrarily limit item transport size. e.g. field mushroom * early cleaning automation should be allowed, even at town level 1

Note: Overall, I do think this is a good game for the price, and the developers seem very active and open to feedback. A lot of my criticism may be fixed over time or even in just a week. * The music and art style are very charming. The controls feel good, moving around is smooth, and the game never really feels janky. I did accidentally build a shop on top of myself once, but it was easy to delete, so that was mostly my own fault but that was my only big issue that happen once and a single NPC that started to "moon dance". * The logistics are simple, but they work well enough for this kind of laid-back town builder. The automation does its job without becoming a burden, and the town usually runs without any obvious supply-chain problems. I want to give the game real praise for this, because a lot of games that are not specifically focused on logistics still manage to make them frustrating. In this game, I did not run into any major supply-chain issues or obvious pain points, so if you not "into that", it is very easy and automated. I say this as someone who enjoy both deeper logistic games like factory games to simple "just get it done automation". * The shops look great too. You can actually see the goods on display, and it is easy to tell whether something is in stock. * There are also a lot of useful quality-of-life features. Both you and the NPCs can use the transit system to move around the map. Couriers drive around town, and getting goods from one place to another works better than I expected, especially considering you will usually only have one or two couriers. * Exploration is fun at first. You find different vehicles, and some of them can do tricks, although I wish they were a bit more unique. * There are collectibles, lots of clothing options for both you and the NPCs, and you can design your own horrible "mascot abomination" that looks very goofy at town level 5, which is probably one of the surprising features in the game. Sadly, this is also where the game starts to fall off. I am writing this review while standing around in-game, waiting for milestones to fill up and for the town to upgrade. That is pretty much the main problem. * "Ego system" is the resource you use to unlock buildings, and it comes from tourists. The system feels very feast or famine. Sometimes you have so much Ego that you do not need to think about it, but once you start building, it disappears quickly. Then you just have to stop and wait for more. A big issue for me is that it have this inbuilt "punishment" for building the same building over and over for some reason that makes sense on preventing spam of the same "best vanity" items so your town is not 2000 poted plants, but building apartments get expensive to the point I can only build 2 every few min and than I have to wait. A big issue here is the gold /ego system cap and scaling of cost. I think the idea is that you are supposed to explore while waiting, but the exploration is very short. You can clear most of the map in around an hour, apart from the locked door and some clues that do not feel very useful, I had done all exploration before town level 4. Town ranks 1 to 5 feels much better, because you keep unlocking new things. Ranks 6-10 feel more like padding. You are not really introduced to anything new. You mostly place more shops and wait for bigger numbers to fill up. Unless you really enjoy collecting things, there is not much left to do. The collectables are also not interesting or rewarding enough for me to care about them. I am waiting for shops to sell enough items, for tourists to leave happy, for Ego, for the next milestone, and for the next town upgrade. And there is nothing I can really do to impact it, except shoot bubbles at people. The town mostly runs itself, which is normally a good thing, but it also means there is not much left for me to actively do. I still think "Go-Go Town!" is a good game. It is charming, polished, and fun for the first several hours. For the price, I think it offers a good experience, and the developers seem active enough that some of these problems may improve. I play games pretty fast due to years of experience in the genre, so a more casual player probably gets a weekend or a week's worth of experience.

I played for 5 hours. When I opened the game again, all my save files were gone.
