Critic Reviews for Copa City
Copa City has potential and with regular updates it could become a really good tycoon management game surrounding football events. However, it needs issues to be addressed like performance and for things to be better explained so players are not overwhelmed with quests that introduce new things without a heads up.
Copa City is a genuinely promising game that, through updates, could be great. The unique setting and interesting mechanics (once you figure them out) are let down by various bugs, poor - sometimes zero - explanation of objectives and game mechanics due to shoddy translations and poor design, and what does end up being a lack of replay value due to the one-match nature of the setting. Were this an early-access launch, it would be laudable that it's in the state it is. As a full launch, at £30, this is a wait and see.
Copa City brings a refreshing take on football management by focusing on an aspect of the beautiful game that gets overlooked elsewhere. Planning and executing the matchday experience for a club and its city works fits snugly into the various sub-genres the game employs, but be ready to face a frustrating lesson or two if you're playing on console.
If you're still craving that World Cup atmosphere, it looks like you're going to stay hungry for a while. Because Copa City isn't the game that's going to satisfy that craving. Then again, it's not exactly a finished game either...

Interesting management sim experience that has you working on organizing a major football event
Copa City delivers a concept rarely seen in the market. By shifting the focus from the soccer field to the backstage of a major sporting event, the game offers an impressive level of management and makes the player feel responsible for every detail surrounding a football match.

Copa City uses its football theme like a jersey one puts on just to somehow be part of the football world because there’s something to celebrate right now. But it cannot convey the emotions that millions of fans around the world connect with the sport.

COPA CITY succeeds in an area that very few football games attempt to explore: looking beyond the pitch and transforming it into something genuinely playable and occasionally even mesmerizing. The sensation of watching a city come alive under your control, with the right crowd in the right places and the chaos managed, is rewarding in a way that this genre rarely matches.
