If you loved SimTower because it let you carefully plan elevator patterns and schedules, well, I've got bad news for you. This game has essentially none of that and you probably won't like it. Okay, now that I've addressed Carl above, I can talk to everyone else who loved SimTower for literally any other reason than elevators: SimTower is quite a bit worse than you remember it, but Project Highrise is as good as you think SimTower was.

Started playing this to satisfy a Sim Tower craving. I really enjoy this game, but there are a few annoying issues/bugs. Pros: It’s aesthetically beautiful, with a whole 1960s mid-century vibe. The music is pretty chill, no complaints. Gameplay is very reminiscent of Sim Tower, I enjoy the geometric placement puzzle of it all, and the increasingly challenging room unlock requirements. Relaxing, soothing, and has enough content and complexity to keep you interested for a while. Cons: As for the issues, the manual placement of utilities is irritating. The main frustration is that there is no auditory way of alerting you when a room is missing a key requirement, e.g. power, or a service. Sometimes an angry face appears over the room, but in a tower of 50 floors, you are not always going to notice that appear on floor 10 when you’re zoomed in up at the top of the building. I have no idea why they wouldn’t add in some kind of sound alert or pop up, especially since every time a tenant vacates, it plays this extremely annoying and very loud “tire screech” sound. The second main issue is around lobby placement. You can place two or three story lobbies, but unlike Sim Tower, in this game you have to place empty building tiles before you can build anything over them. This means that if you already have a two story lobby and want to extend it sideways, your construction workers cannot reach the second story to build out those tiles. There is also an annoying aspect to making elevators and utility closets “merge” into the lobby (you must have an empty tile on either side of the item, otherwise you have 2 or 3 elevators on top of each other which looks very dumb in a lobby. This means no elevators at the outer edge of the building, or in a row right up against the utility closets.) However, the above issues have not stopped me from thoroughly enjoying this game. How does this compare to Mad Tower Tycoon? Project Highrise looks cleaner and crisper, and aesthetically reminds me more of Sim Tower, with a major upgrade. The Mad Tower Tycoon gameplay is more similar to Sim tower however. It has elevator management and no requirement to place utilities. Mad Tower Tycoon already includes hotels, whereas that is a DLC for Project Highrise. Music is better in Project Highrise, it’s more like soothing background tunes. Overall, I seem to prefer playing Project Highrise.

i feel like the way i played it was a really good way to play it. You can start off just full sending what you want, being most likely an apartment building with some offices. Then after that i feel it's appropriate to specialize in one thing like i just made a full apartment, then i made an office building, then i did what's probably the hardest one to do starting off but can get you the most money which is the hotel. All of these needing things like stores, facilities, restaurants etc to attract and keep you're clientele. This is the way i recommend playing this way you get to know and experience the most out of what the game has. Remembering that the little deals you can make to meat some quota and getting money from it, both up front and upon completion, it vital for something like the hotel. I've been pulled out of holes i dug for myself from these also probably the reason i was in the hole in the first place by forgetting it lmao. That being said, very nice game with a unique and for me a sought after genre personally. Scratches that itch of wanting to just chill out and run an apartment building. I've yet to see an apartment built diagonally irl but hey i haven't traveled a whole lot so there's still a chance xd. Law's of physics be damned. 7.5/10 For someone looking for an apartment sim then its a must have. But i feel there's something lacking in the late game.

It's a fun game. But there is ONE flaw. And its that if the power breaks and goes out for 4-5 hours then somoene will leave. In real life they would be very annoyed yes but not move out. So make it if uhh the electricity breaks it will takes 24 hours for the tenants to move out. So then your repair team has time to repair it.

Spiritual successor to the 1994 Simtower game, very addicting :D
