Critic Reviews for Project Highrise: Architect's Edition
Project Highrise: Architect's Edition is a real success in the building sim genre. It's easy application of a daunting set of tools and simple to understand, difficult to master gameplay make it a really fun experience. The variety of backdrops and modes make each pitch feel unique, but the real fun comes from the trial and error of trying out different builds and the pride of seeing your once little build growing into a skyscraper with four Casinos and several penthouses, making you thousands by the day. Though the look is dull and there are a few minor annoyances, that doesn't take away from the stellar and smart game design that makes a repeat visit to this gem a guarantee.
There’s lots to do in this game, there’s lots of challenge and it all works pretty smoothly. But Project Highrise just feels flat and never achieves the “just one more turn” level of addiction that I love in the best sim titles.
If long-form strategy/sim titles are your cup of tea, then Project Highrise was made for you.
For all its simplicity, Project Highrise: Architect's Edition is one of those addictive building games that can grab hold of you with its incredible detail and not let you go
Although perhaps because of this, succeeding in Project Highrise feels like even more of an achievement, because you've done it yourself.
Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition is not quite as addictive as other big hitters in the sim genre, but the game offers an enjoyable experience and a solid challenge with plenty of detailed gameplay to get stuck into
Since the base game is so in-depth, I wouldn't even feel a need to buy the DLC content if I didn't have to. All the DLC provides is new themes and slightly varied scenarios, so I do think this game would be a better value without it. Project Highrise is here for those craving the deepest management simulator the Switch has to offer, but if you're not already a fan of the genre, I wouldn't recommend it.
You not only have to meet the structural needs, but also the customers' needs. With a lot of tools, Project Highrise: Architect's Edition is a complete game, with many features that make it hard to get acquainted with the options and have a real success in the enterprise. It can become a monotonous game due to its visual and soundtrack, but it's a great building simulator.
