Silicon City

This was a fun, deceivingly layered game that I look forward to playing in its entirety. First, the graphics are very simple, giving the player a sense of builder games from the 90's, bit the usage of a twitter-like social media platform as a way to keep an eye on the city makes it feel a bit more modern. Play begins simply, you place zones and roads on an empty map to begin growing the city your citizens (Silizens) will move into. As you achieve certain goals, more zones and buildings will become available and you can get much needed money to continue adding to the city. Don't let the simple graphics fool you, however...there is definitely a need for good resource management or you'll find yourself bankrupt quickly. The camera controls are not my favorite as they are clunky and difficult to get positioned just right. I would have preferred to use WASD or the direction arrows to move the map and holding down the right mouse button to pan and zoom. As they are, the WS/Up and down arrow are zoom, which makes it hard to simply click to see other areas of the map. There are settings for mouse sensitivity, so it helps a bit, but I'd love to see the camera controls improved. Overall, a fun game and one with good replay ability. I will be adding this to my library and looking forward to updates and the full game.

Um dos melhores jogos de construção de cidade que joguei nos últimos tempos. Tendo influencias dos jogos da série Sim-City antigos, mas ao mesmo tempo trazendo muitas inovações que dão um novo ar para o gênero. Não sinta dúvida por causa dos gráficos, esse jogo vai muito mais além na sua simulação do que muitos outros! 9.5/10

EDIT 6/18/2025 - Changing to negative as devs have abandoned the game. Performance issues were never fixed and new content that was promised was never added. Giving this a thumbs up, but my overall opinion of the game is neutral. The game is fun, but after about 8 or so hours, you've seen everything and done everything there is to do. Silicon City is also buggy and is plagued with performance issues. The large map is unplayable as the framerate drops to single digits. The normal map is playable until you hit 600~ citizens and then drops to 15 FPS. Why the thumbs up then? Because the devs fixed a game-breaking bug 2 days after I reported it. They've also acknowledged the performance issues and are working on them and have been very receptive to criticism and feedback. Hopefully, they can fix the performance issues and make the game better. Full video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-uzVvUk8WE

- performance problems - slow game

très bon jeu de gestion de ville.Je trouve que les personnages sont attachants.

A solid city-builder with a nice art style - it doesn't break any major new ground, but it does what it is supposed to.

thought it will be fun but unfortunately because of performance issues it is impossible to play and enjoy the game. CPU is getting crazy, computer is getting overheated. would not recommend to anyone at this stage as long as there are performance issues.

Jeux incomplet et abandonné par les développeurs. J'ai même perdu une sauvegarde à cause d'une corruption de donnée.

Pretty fun at first, but the game hasn't updated since October 2023. It's fun for the first few hours but gets boring pretty fast, and though this I'm probably the only one who has a problem with how well the game runs, it's constantly laggy and trying to even load a new save makes it crash.

The graphics and some of the game play feel more like older city builder games. It has some interesting new features, though, like being able to message a citizen to find out what they are unhappy about. Overall I enjoy it more than the new sim city games (I enjoyed their old console games the most).
