Town to City

It appears to be a cute game. I do like simulations. Had to request refund. If your vision challenged or impaired the voxel style can be very hard to work with. Did not expect that. System no slouch and 27" 2k graphics not help, just the design. Pity it has a very nice "relaxed" atmosphere to game with. I could say recommend if your good with this kind of graphics but like pixel it can be blurry without intending too.

This game scratches a very specific itch I have had for a while where I have been looking for a colony sim type game that is a bit more relaxed in nature, with more focus on the sandbox building element rather than resource management and survival. I am not a fan of Voxel games usually, but this game still manages to be quite pretty in spite of that. I'd throw money at a game like this that isn't voxel based.

This is one of the best town building games I've ever played, and I've played a LOT. It's cozy, you can go at your own pace, and there are tons of levels of decoration and customization you can do. This might also genuinely be one of the best dev teams I've ever seen on a game, adding tons of really awesome new features like terrain deformation and generally being very receptive and communicative with players. Just to be clear, as I saw this in a few of the handful of negative reviews: this is not a strategy game. There are light gameplay mechanics (you need to balance the town's population, make sure they have close access to necessities, decorate buildings and areas to make people happy, eventually create farms for certain resources and tourist traps for late game play), but they generally give a lot of leeway and it is definitely not the focus of the game. It's enough for me personally to stay engaged, and provides good but light-pressure objectives that guide you towards further progression and unlocks. I really, really like this game. While I think there's enough content to justify the price tag to me personally, I do know $30 can be a little steep if this kind of game is not already your thing. That being said, they're still adding big new updates, and I hope they either continue to do so for the foreseeable future OR consider making a new game down the line with maybe a different setting/even further improved engine and customization options (if that would be the easier path forward).

This game is relaxing and it makes me feel good things instead of rage and anger, which is rare as a nerd.

Played somewhere else for almost 10 hours. I love this game as it ticks all the boxes for a casual builder personally. However, I've reached a point in the game where the poor optimization is rearing its ugly ass head. As you can see, I've got specs. I'm hitting FORTY, 40. FORTY fps in my dense cities. With these specs. Do I recommend this game? Yes. But currently, I eagerly await their performance update (read somewhere it's included in their roadmap). Please note that I have not made an effort to return this game. That should be indicative enough how great of a game this can be if they manage to optimize it.

I absolutely love the core concept, visuals and music, but I can't recommend purchasing it in its current state. The optimization is a mess and it seems like devs don't know how to fix it, so at this point in time the mid/end game is unplayable: FPS drops down to hell, CPU usage is ridiculous, and sometimes it taps into the GPU and literally puts it at 100% usage, which should never happen on the lowest available settings (and with my PC specs I shouldn't be playing on the lowest settings anyway). Otherwise it's a fairly bug-free game with relaxing atmosphere and simple city building mechanics, and I'd love to try it again after a set of performance optimizations. Stay away from it for now. ---- Still suffers from the same issues (patch 1.0.3).

This game is crazy fun. You can literally customise every house in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ town and i mean it. This game is not a cozy game tho. It is only cozy till you open your economy tab and find out that your town is not producing enough cheese. For god knows what people here eat a lot of cheese :) Over all a must play if you are into city builders.

With 100+ hours into the game even before the 1.0 release, I can honestly say I love this game. The best way I can describe it is a mindful city builder game, with just enough strategic challenge to ensure that you keep your mind with the game to carefully plan your layout, but with the main focus of the game on decorating your town/city (and each individual building!) to your heart's content. I am not usually a big fan of voxel art and voxel games, but I cannot get enough of Town to City!
