I’ve enjoyed this game so far. It shows a perfectly running city and you ruin it with cars, traffic, pollution and if people protest, you sent riot control squads on them.

Needs a better tutorial and more content, but I can really pretend to be an evil soulless ceo without actually being scum of the earth. All while seeing how nice a carless city is was.

From the RPS piece, the opening looks like a cash-flow puzzle more than a car one: a subway-entrance plot is $40,000 while the land under a bus stop is much cheaper, so the writer starts with a car park next to the office park, gets a few owners, and only then works toward the station plots. The part I liked is that you can’t demolish occupied tenements, you have to evict first, so every expansion has a small cost attached. Agree with the OP that it needs a better tutorial, the demand heatmap seems to carry the whole early game.
