So I’m ~5 hours into the story so far. I was super worried it’d be a bad followup to the first game, which I loved.

It’s pretty different, without getting into any spoilers, but I’m really enjoying it at this point. It’s well done, the atmosphere and decisions are on point, and the micro management seems lesser.

A few UI complaints, I found a tiny bug, but all in all it seems like a good and long single player immersive story city builder. Exactly what I want from the series.

I’d give it a preliminary 8.5/10 because I’m biased and love the first one.
