60 of 103 · most liked first5 hours in. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone at this time in it's current state. 1. The steering is terrible. (Sensitivity is very high without an adjustment in the options). 2. Controller support is there, but not ALL there. (50% of the keybindings for the controller you are not even able to bind to the controller) So you can only do a few things and the rest must be done via keyboard. 3. The way the garbage is done is just terrible and very slow. (There is no AI help when doing…

But what we can do? There’s not a lot to choose from. Cityconomy is a simulator where to take care of the city. You collect garbage, clean the streets, do plumbing jobs and such. It could be a fun game for simulator fans. The gameplay itself wouldn’t be mediocre if not for the repetitive tasks. I know all the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the few things I did enjoy was the details of the trucks you play, but otherwise this game feels like an unpolished version of itself. It can see alot of improvements in graphics, modeling, multiplayer section, jobs and last, but not least, physics. On the pro side, I would like to give them thumbs up for the rich details of their trucks. On the con side, I would like to mention - No physics in play whatsoever - No driver seat view - No music - Night time darkness equivalent that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of i was pretty Hyped for this game so im going to give my feedback from playing a painfull couple of hours in single player and multi player. Gameplay in general - The controls are utter garbage, the controller support is poor. - AI behind your vehical there engine is far to loud. - Steering a multi ton garbage truck should feel like it not turning like you are driving on ice. - Seems to be an issue with weather effects grey box when raining. - No signal lights. - No fines for driving…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's time to take out the trash! At first appearance Cityconomy is exactly what you'd expect - an unyieldingly focused simulation where you have to empty large bins into your lorry in real time, and keep doing this over and over. It lets you turn this into a career, able to expand your business (and gain new types of job to do) as you make money. But it mixes in some very unsimulation-like concepts taken directly from RPGs. You receive job quests from quest-givers, complete with cartoony…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy playing simulation games with friend's so I got this game for me and my friend for the core matter it was multiplayer/co-op. First off all, all the vehicles only let 1 person in them ( So you cant stand on the back of the rubbish truck while your friend drives) which means you may drive but everyone else has to walk. You can only assign 1 challenge per group so you cant send your friend to go cut some grass or pick up some rubbish while your doing other jobs. The sensitivity on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, here are my thoughts at this point: Let's get the "stupid review memes" out of the way: - 11/10 - would push dumpsters again! - Alternate Title: Cut Scene Watching Simulator 2016! Other reviewers have already pointed out a few of the shortcomings of this game: It seems pretty un-optimized, Bins spawn in unreachable places, the steering radii of the vehicles makes them annoyingly unmaneuverable, the truck sounds are garbage (pun intended), the AI vehicles are unerringly stupid, and Why…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cityconomy is part manager, part simulation. If you like grinding away countless hours to keep your city running efficiently then this game is for you....and your friends if you like multiplayer mode. I enjoyed playing the game very much. PROS: Nice day/night time cycle & lighting. Highly detailed vehicles. Good use of warping/jumping from one vehicle to the next. UI and & management screens are easy to use. Guaranteed over 25+ hours of gaming to unlock all acheivements. CONS: No cockpit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After giving this game some time for patches and finding an MP game finally today (Mp games are set up as no drop in support right now, but might change) This game dose have potentional to be good. The Dev team seems to be taking care of nagging issues and adding things to the game as they go along. The game itself. Picture the following. Any Garbage Truck simulator (That are terrible and slow) Tow Truck simulator (That is just.. god awful) Street Sweeper simulator (Slow, never worked for me)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a bit sad that this game has only mixed reviews, because its a really nice game, its so fresh from all the killing and blowing stuff up, especially if you enjoy things like simulators and managment games, it really is a great game. and $20 isnt a bad asking price, not when you have AAA games asking for an arm and a leg by giving you an unfinnished product and then trying to sell the rest to you bit by bit through DLC and bloody season pass'. what you have here is a developer that actually…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a bad game but i do find it very badly optimised, can run fallout 4 on ultra but barely run this on medium, no change in camera (3rd person only), AI cars are a joke, they crash into you and you get fined! if they sorted the optimisation out id change this game to a recommended but as it is i wouldnt, hope this helped your decision
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Realy looked forward to this game so disapointed The game it self is so slow it will put you to sleep save your money DONT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nailed the simulation, its just like actual garbage.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You would think that a game that builds on Construction Simulator 2015's engine would have been able to get over most of the hurdles and not make the same pitfalls again. Well this game makes all the same pitfalls and ignores all of the lessons they got from Construction Simulator 2015. For an example in this game the tasks become monotonous very quickly compared to CS 2015, and that isn't good if you need to repeat the same task with little variation or chance of creativity 20 times to unlock…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i don`t know, why so many people are writing negative reviews. what do you expect from a "municipal service game" ? i worked 5 years for a community in such business & its made fairly accurate it reminds me strongly @ "construction simulator 15": ++ comic graphics, arcade style, routine tasks, drive + manage your fleet, large skill tree, big variety of architecture -- performance (I have a mostly similar PC as the recommendations, but it has some lag (frame drops) - it`s still well playable…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do NOT buy this. It's the very definition of broken. The physics model is laughable, the AI drivers are completely on rails and the visuals would have seemed dated in 2003. Still, it only manages to run at 40 frames per second at most regardless of hardware because the programming is so, so poor. The concept and the ideas are actually interesting and the management aspect could have been a nice mechanic. But as it is, it's just unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →as much as i love the simulator games this is by far the worst i have played i have a gtx 970 and im getting 15 frames like really i much rather watch paint dry then play this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok; forst of all I want to thank everyone who helped me get this game up and running, a particular thanks to mayamak who was first on the scene to help, thank you very much :) Now that I have been able to play the game for a while; there are pros and cons to it, just like there are in most games. For anyone who is having issues getting this to run, the tips I got from mayamak and others were fantastic! mayamak 4 Dec @ 11:51am what is your system settings? * If you are useing laptop try to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This "game software" is same industrial waste like any other German simulator-dump. [ Thank you so much for this bright future, dear uncle Dolfi! This is your legacy... ] http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/258216987905450261/D01078A77A8C10CE21A9A4F1B88E076231CE8EB1/
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →never get this game. It is laggy and always crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I have seen this game looks great but the only thing I have a problem with is the graphics are so high my laptop can't run, Make sure you get your GPU before buying!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is ok but the graphix is not great. They also need hazzard lights for the trucks. The game laggs and i have a i7 computer. odd. I would still but the game though aslong as you are sure your computer can handel it. You may need to turn down the graphx.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very very disapaointed i had to try and load the game 10 times 10 TIMES!!!! then when it does load all i get is error diolog box then all i have is the sound and a white box with a red line through it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game that is just released i am very pleased with it. Sure it needs a few tweaks on the controller side. Sensitivity has been changed for the controller. So now the game is perfect! ive played it 4 hours and i have 6 different trucks for my employees and my self to work with. Im loving this game!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After almost 10 hours into this game I can safely say that this game's alternate title should've been "Jank Simulator 2015". The game is horribly unoptimised, the traffic AI is insane and there are tons of bugs that can make missions unfinishable (such as bins spawning inside buildings). I paid two euros for this back in the day as it was on a sale, but even at that price it's probably not worth it (unless you're a masochist).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't run, developer useless. Not concerned about fixing it, easier to say it wont work on your computer. (my 7 hours playtime was from idling game for cards, - cannot actually get past a load game screen)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is terrible! Really bad graphics optimalization. Flashing screen. Cars driving simulation is so bad...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fond lover of simulation games, I had to buy this game, and I'm not disapointed ! This game is all about city services, five services in fact: Garbage removal, trimming hedges, emptying sewers, removal vehicles and cleaning roads & sidewalks. You begin with only two trucks (the trucks are all existing MAN trucks) and two mission types (garbage removal & recycling bins), to unlock more content, you have to work, gain XP, make inhabitants happy about your company. The game is very slow, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game tests your abilities on how to run a city. Mostly in this game, you drive waste trucks around, collecting the towns rubbish. Unfortunately, for all of the vehicles in this game, there is no in-cab or cockpit view of inside the cabin. That is a huge let-down for me. If it had an in-cab view, I would recommend this game, but sadly because of that, I recommend the game as 'No'. Improvements must be made, CityConomy. 2.5 - 5 stars from me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't even load the textures once you start a career.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a great idea to be doing service jobs for a city and I'm going to admit it even has a relaxing feel to it at times. It could be so much more than what it is and I think would shine if given more polish, deserving seat next to EuroTruck Simulator. I'd say give it a go while it's on sale and be a little forgiving for a game that tried its best to create a municipal truck simulator.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is essentially an atrocity on human beings who are unfortunate enough to buy it. The premise is not terrible, there is a market for management games simulating mundane tasks. Look no further than wildly successful farm and truck simulators. However, the implementation of this game is soulless without attention to detail, pacing. Put aside the 2005 graphics quality (not necessarily a requirement in these games), the pace of the game is extremely slow. It is just not fun because of…

POOR Optimized and horrible controls. this game is one to avoid at all costs , even on sale , this game is a pass . Whats good you ask ?? idk... you get to drive a truck ?! the city feels real-ish ?! 2/10

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't like this game because it is really broken because there is a error everytime i try to play!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than expected actually. The multiplayer needs improvements but the overall game ain't that bad at all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after playing for around an hour, I like the game flow of cityconomy. it offers many possibilities and different vehicles, so i guess it will entertain me well for the next few hours. ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ITS A SCAM FOR YOUR MONEY!! Pros: Got good idea and interesting things you can do Good price for a game that would work Cons: DOES NOT WORK AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT IN YEARS!!! Warning! Do fall for the look of the cover of this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could say I could give this game a thumbs up. I think the game has a good basic idea and that it can be played with, but the game has a big minus in that it is supposed to be a driving game, it is that the trucks cannot be driven from the inside, but only from the outside, which ruins my whole playing experience of the game and you therefore quickly lose interest in the game. It's a shame that Astragon has chosen this, as they can easily make driving games like Bus Simulator and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is a dumpster fire
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just not worth it anymore. Was a bit of fun at first unlocking the different areas and vehicles. Just not enough to give it a 2019 Yes.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I HATE THIS GAME IT DOES NOT SUPPORT A LAPTOP AND ITS 32BIT ALSO I WOULD LIKE THE GRAPHIC REQUIRMENTS DOWN THANKS FOR THE CRAPPY GAME
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would not recommend getting this unless you have a gaming computer with a graphics card. I have a I3 Quad core processor and HD 5500 card. Please check your video card before purchasing. When I load the game the main menu comes up but when I load the profile I get a error message and then a big white screen with a letter X in red on the screen. Buyer beware.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is kinda realistic, you can experience realistic jobs in this game like garbage truck driver where you collect garbage or recycle plastic. You also can be sewer truck driver where you clean citizens house and town/village sewers and unblock pipes and stuff. There are many other jobs and vehicles. Also, if you hit someone hard with your vehicle or cause an accident, then you get fines and tickets that are costly or if you drive over red, then you get also fined. Mostly the game is good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They're pushing out simulator games! I'm not necessary talking directly about this game firstly, but about all the simulator games out there which is awful, and this game is no execption. Developers and publishers seems to have an urge to call the games they push out for simulator games, or at the category simulation. Yes, im still playing the game from time to time, but its an repetitive game, it gives you and déjà vu feeling. First 2 hours! The game is incredible, yet so bad grapics and…
