If you’re not very into management games, I could definitely see Project Highrise being an absolute bore as you wait for earnings to come in. I mean, you’re building a tower, not saving the world from aliens. But for fans of the genre or curious gamers, whether you’re playing through the games scenarios or in sandbox mode, this is one of the best management games to come out this year.
Project Highrise is the kind of game that grabs a hold of players and doesn’t let go. Only once you’re in deep with a massive building do you begin to notice the cracks. There are undoubtedly numerous improvements that should be made — and likely will be in the coming weeks via patches — but even with some niggling complaints, it’s still incredibly challenging to put the darn thing down.

El juego en si no es tan malo , me gusto el juego por que desde que lo vi , me encariñe con el juego por que se parecía bastante al simcity , y cuando lo probé , me costo un tiempo en saber bien a jugarlo , he encontrado bugs en el juego pero es lo que menos me importa

As someone who spent their childhood cutting their teeth on Sim Tower this game rocks... I can honestly say this is one of the first tower games I've played that gave me the same excitement I felt as a kid. The developers are also very responsive on the steam forums. If you loved playing Sim Tower as a kid pick up Project Highrise - you won't be disappointed.

Given an empty block and the freedom to do what you please, Project Highrise doesn’t quite reach the heights of SimTower.
Throughout the early levels and into the more advanced stages, this fun, occasionally frustrating strategy game continues to offer plenty of reward for your time and effort, but lacks the character to make the spirit of the simulation as enticing as its systems.
Looking beyond the aesthetics, fans of the genre will find a pretty deep business simulation that is worth exploring. The challenge increases along with the height of your tower and stays challenging right until the very end, though there will be some quiet, less exciting times somewhere along the way.
It’s a competent, accessible sim, but there is nothing special about it, so I didn’t miss it after I stopped playing it for the sake of this review. [12/2016, p.72]
I played for about 10 hours total, and it was a chore. The game doesn’t look good, nothing interesting happens while you’re playing, and the strategic elements are minimal.
Absolutely addictive.
Balancing the many (many) needs of your tenants, along with designing something aesthetically pleasing is deceptively difficult. It's true that there's not much variation between room types, but the workshop will soon sort that out.
There's ALWAYS something wanting your attention and I've already been playing for a few hours and it feels like five minutes.
There are lots of different types of offices, restaurants, shops and apartments to build, each influencing something near it in different ways.
For example;
One office wants greater variety in restaurants that serve dinner, you plop it down and the guy next to him starts to complain about the smell.
Meanwhile, the restaurant complains because they can't empty their rubbish, so you pop a rubbish bin down; the guy near that starts to moan about the smell and next to the restaurant has become too noisy so one of your tenants demands a rent decrease.
I love this sort of thing because it absorbs you for hours. I really love this game - I'm sure there's a perfect balance to be struck with placement but I'm yet to find it. I'm enjoying the search though!

If u like SimTower or YootTower then Project Highrise is a game that you need to play. Though lacking the livelier invite unlike SimTower, it is still a good and fun Tower Simulator building game. I hope theres more stuffs added soon in the SteamWorksop to make my tower look unique and interesting.

Project highrise is a sim tower game. The concept behind the game is interesting - build your tower and cater for your tenants whether they be office workers, residential or shops, and manage the infrastructure. However the graphics were mediocre for a game created in 2017. Additionally the game suffers in that income only comes in at midnight rather than in real time, meaning that often you are sitting waiting for the day to complete to get more money to build a little bit more. This is a frustration that ruined the game for me.

This game is rubbish. After playing for a bit, I decided it wasn't worth my time due to the pedestrian graphics, poor game play and overly complex and mind numbingly bad user interface. I checked the forum to see if there were any redeeming qualities and immediately found a (locked) thread about poor balance and bugs. The developer/moderator argued incessantly with their customers and warned people despite having no cause. I then wrote a review of the boring game play and mentioned that they were awful to deal with on the forums. The developer had it flagged so it doesn't count against their negative reviews. I'm sure they're doing the same thing with other negative reviews. Beware!
