The game always played at a solid 60fps and never lagged once, even when I was playing sandbox mode on a gigantic map

Great fun to watch your town grow and achieve all the narrative goals.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
27 of 257 sampled reviews raised it
The dynamics are great in my opinion, and balancing resources/needs isn't too easy - or too hard.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 257 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign isn't anything new in this genre, but it does have it's own art style and mechanics that make it sligthly different from other games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 257 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects were good for the atmosphere, but always ended up going overboard, leading to a cacophony of work noises or general gibberish.
