What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The game’s isometric 2D visuals remain timeless in their clarity and detail, presenting cities that feel vibrant and alive even within the constraints of their era.
The game’s iconic soundtrack, composed by Jerry Martin, is a soothing blend of jazz, ambient, and orchestral pieces that perfectly complement the city’s rhythms.
While specializations add depth to the gameplay and allow you to customize your city, it also makes it harder for you because there are some things your city cannot do, which is why most players playing SimCity2013 use an entire region to try and build several cities that lean on eachother with different advantages and drawbacks.
Each advisor is cleverly named and offers witty dialogue to help you be the best mayor you can be.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
