positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a big fan of the building and management genre, but i really can't give a thumbs up to this game, it's extremely simple, so simple there is basically zero challenge. No money in the simulation, you can just build whatever you want with no limits. After 2/3 hours, at end game (yeah, it's that short), you find yourself with most of the achievements popped up, but the wrong ones: i got some for things I hadn't done yet and some of things i have done didn't pop up at all. it also suffers from…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game in early access, it was exactly what I was looking for. However, it's currently unplayable due to a major bug that's been outstanding for years - the mechanic building doesn't work, so lifts break down and catch on fire. It's been reported by many people over the last few years. Unfortunately the game isn't supported and therefore I recommend not buying it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the game’s concept and for the most part I liked the game and it has/had a lot of potential. But, in the end the developer is no longer working on the game and it falls short. Tried exploring the other maps, three of them had the mechanic bug and I just focused on my original game on the starter map to knock it off the backlog. I wouldn’t recommend it due to the mechanic bug which had me restart a couple times. Performance was also an issue for me towards the end, the ability…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game never completed, no more support, developers gave up, recommend to avoid the purchase and other games by Devs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brokebug Mountain Snowtopia has the best intentions in mind. It's a unique concept, and if executed properly it could have been something great. Executed properly it is not. The gameplay mechanics are frustrating to the extreme. Fiddly building placement that throws errors all the time. Impossible to build slopes unless it's done in a specific cumbersome way. Nothing can be undone or modified easily. Being forced to connect everything to clumsy "navigation zones" that cannot be extended…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun relaxed indie game. Sadly abandoned for over 2.5 years already, which is not reflected in the price. (Best in a sale) But, there's a modding community & encouraged by the dev team. For the game as is (ignoring the modding), I would not recommend, aspecially not for 20 bucks. Bugs, abandoned, missing features, building hell (e.g. slopes getting in the way, not enough space)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the idea of the game. Building a ski resort. Making customers happy. But. I don't like the way snowtopia aproaches this goal. It starts out harmless enough: Build a lift, build a slope... built shops. And build more. And more. And more. And also make sure that slopes are mostly a certain lvl - which you can't really, bc there is no terraforming?! -, oh and hey, you can't move the houses placed by the game. And you are absolutely buggered with space the more ppl you get. And you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello! I'm Garry, a freelance game programmer from France. I love using procedural generation to create all sorts of things (see thread⏬) I made Snowtopia some time go: s.team/a/1124260 My portfolio: garrywilliams.fr #gamedev #procgen #proceduralgeneration
unlabelledView post →DO NOT. This game is "released" from early access, but it's still buggy as all hell. It effectively plays like it's still super early access. Dev team seems to have abandoned the game, the wiki page is effectively empty, and there's no future promise for the game. $25 is theft for this game. I'm only playing it because it was redeemed from Humble Bundle. Issues: - cannot upgrade models of lifts from one generation to the next. Impossible to remove and reinstall lifts without having to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not worth your time project is abandoned and left in a fairly buggy incomplete mess. not worth it even on sale. do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The dev says this is 'done' , but I disagree. This app is a fun simulator but not a game. There is no lose condition. There is no way that peeps will be mad at you. This is acceptable as a 0.3.0 early access game, but not a done game. Do not pay for this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is not much of a tutorial in this game, and it's difficult to get your ski lifts set up, because it won't let you put the top of it on any steep angle. The UI is also extremely lackluster, it's hard to tell what is happening with your buildings when you click on them, and there are no alerts when something goes wrong at your resort or if guests are unhappy. All in all, this game is not worth spending money on
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cuteness and hope are now replaced with bugs and despair. Do not buy this, it was abandoned by dev team for quite some time now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the idea of this game. While the game functions and works at the start, its great. But I believe from what I read online, the developers have abandoned this game while there is a game breaking bug regarding the maintenance workers. People say you got to just keep restarting into a new world until you get lucky and maybe the maintenance workers will work. However I never had that happen to be once. For me, once everything began breaking down, the game just was not fun. I tried to do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr: small, unpretentious game that can live up to expectations - but don't expect too much. Ok, so let's start with the negative. The game is more or less abandoned (however, there is a modding community that developped "avalanche", and is in the process of releasing "blizzard", two megamods that are de fact evolutions of the game). Several users report stability issues (I did not experiment them) and bugs (I certainly noticed odd behaviours, don't know if they count as bugs). And, similar…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plays very poorly. Not a lot of content, even with mods. Lift placement, slope building feel very sloppy. Lags like hell even on an high end machine. Very sad that there isn't any game similar to this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →money scheme they hyped it and abandoned it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lots of potential to this game, but it is abandoned, buggy, and awful in its current state. $25 for this is almost criminal, as you can get planet zoo/coaster for this price which are much better games. but you'll most likely find this game as i did- as a bundle filler. it's not terrible, may actually be fun for an hour or two. but it's definitely unfinished, abandoned, and not worth your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game a long time ago, it had it's issues in EA but that's ok. Then the 1.0 release happened and wow....let me tell you how broken this game is =p The mechanics don't repair anything, the people you hire to help people that fell and got injured, they are just sitting in their house doing nothing. Slopes are just broken, you can't build slopes under a lift !? You also can't build lifts where you want and it won't like tell you where it might work, the ground might be perfectly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh boy, where do I even begin with this one? I guess I will start by saying the game is extremely promising, with more work on it it would have probably turned out as a fantastic game. But instead of working on it the developers decided its too hard and used a cheap excuse to basically abandon it. The state that the game is right now is extremely buggy and is missing a lot of features you would expect the game to have. It might have officially gotten out of early access but it plays like a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is incredibly enjoyable and captures the winter atmosphere I've been longing for this season! It offers a great deal of freedom, and each map has its own distinct charm. I love imagining how my dream ski resort would look, thanks to the game's realism and the creative freedom it provides.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really interested in the theme, but most mechanics are not well thought out, ending up with way too many restrictions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a buggy early access game. Why would you not give players the ability to upgrade buildings? Why are walkways not available? Why do I have to destroy all my slopes in order to upgrade my lifts?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do NOT buy this game. It has been abandoned before finished. There is small modding community what keeps this game playable, but they are reworking whole game what makes me wonder... why? Why not just create new game to sell instead of making people buy this abandoned game?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game but only if you get the mod. Mod gives you so many more maps, more lift types, different decorations, as well as sandbox mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY! ABANDONWARE! From the devs on update 1.06 (Final Update) But, what now? Well as stated before, unless there is a really big blocker crash type of thing, we (development team in the large definition of this word) won't work on this game anymore....... Enough said, this game is still not playable! After all these years!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted to love it - too buggy and abandoned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't get this game, there are no tasks or a clear goal, also there is no currency??? Laying slopes is very frustrating and next to impossible to cater for every need.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Snowtopia is much more about relaxing experience building snow paradise for skiers than anything else. You dont have to worry about money, managing much, you just put down buildings and tracks and watch people enjoy skiing down the slopes. So dont expect challenging managent and building and you will have a good time for a few hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is good, the graphics and animations are good. But shortly after playing the tutorial and starting another game, the mechanics would not fix the lifts. Making the game unplayable. If that was fixed this game would be great, but with that problem it is impossible to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice simple resort building game. There are only 7 preset maps, around 30 buildings, and a hard max of ~1500 customers, so it's not the best scaling wise. Also, no ability to modify terrain despite being centered around building ski paths. I am also torn on the "volunteer" mechanic which limits the amount of staff you have, instead of limiting money like most tycoons - it does provide a challenge but only in the mid game. Best part is the music and just watching people ski once you've built…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think I have seen alpha versions that were more feature complete and less buggy than this fully released game. Here is a small list of things that you will get for a price of a normal game: Despite looking like a tycoon - it is just a sandbox and money simply doesn’t exist here. So don’t expect anything thrilling, there are no fail states, nothing can go wrong and you can do whatever you want. Despite being a sandbox the list of “doing whatever you want” is really limited because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game just beware if your buying it the community is bacicly dead and the game doesnt get updates anymore
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a life long skier and long time resort employee, I love this game. It hits a lot of really fun gaming itch's as simulation management game but overall it lacks some potentially awesome functions and an overall lack of polish that is totally justified due to this being just a small partner project. However because of that you can feel the love and intentions in the game! A few pieces I'd love to see in the game in another carnation or as a dream updated are: elevation control on slopes and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the game has the right basics, like a nice slope editor, but it lacks depth and a reason for building them. Usually, there’s some form of currency that acts as a blocker to further progress or a motivation to do things one way rather than another. For example, I build a small, cheap ski lift that will generate money so I can build the expensive one up to the peak. In Snowtopia, time is that blocker. Even if you do everything perfectly, you just have to speed up time and wait until new…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it in a sale, but I would not recommend it. It is more an 'early access' stage than a full game. It lacks the money component. The jazz music gets on your nerve after serveral hours. Its the same song played over and over again. During the tutorial you have to wait quite some time before you can start the development for upgrades. This makes the game dull. I was missing the overview what all the icons ment. You will gave some fun building, but the game is missing 'depth'. The creating of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a nice cozy game, but very very short lifespan
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty basic game. There's really no challenge since there's no economy, weather never changes and you basically cannot fail. FPS will drop dramatically if you have a lot of visitors. Still would recommend if you want: - a winter themed game - easy/chill gameplay - to design basic slopes - make your own ski resort (even though the choices are limited and what you do has little to no consequences)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I suck ass at the game, but it is a calming game with no money limit, so you can build however you want PROS relaxing with a calming soundtrack no limit for cash does not lag much CONS fullscreen mode so i cant picture in picture takes a while to get rep level 1, so i cant get new things WHAT I WANT Glades option for no full screen mode faster reputation gain (only lvl 1)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has a lot of potential, but ultimately appears abandoned. Extremely buggy and severe lag the more you progress into the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs have abandoned this game with a game-breaking bug that prevents mechanics from reaching lifts. Do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Might just add money aspect, to make it bit more challenging, maybe?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The overall game is ok but heres some things I would add bc it kinda sucks -sandbox mode (unlocks everything) -better ski lift physics (they sometimes look very weird) -freestyle terrain to boost ratings
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game doesn't work past home screen, abandoned and left to rot in a buggy state. do NOT buy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SnowTopia is a really good game but it would be amazing if they made it so you had to pay using money. It would also be cool to have a ski school and be able to build inside the lodge because most ski resorts don't have buildings scattered outside of the lodge. Thankyou.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels incomplete. The pathing is poor, the guidance is poor, and it just hasn't been fun or engaging.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned game, devs gone with the money and don't give a crap
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun i know its abandoned but there mods that make it amazing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want to try this game, get it on CDkeys for 25p
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute little indie game, but playing this without the Avalanche mod is quite boring
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather unfinished ski resort building game. Its not a horrible mess, but not worth my and probably neither your time. As far as I can see there is no money of any form. Things feel half baked all over the place. :/ Im on a quest of at least trying every game in my library, of which I got plenty from all kinds of bundles, not all though. If you are interested in my journey, check out my other reviews :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still enjoying the game after 2 and a half hours. I like that you have goals to achieve and new buildings/items to unlock via research; It keeps you hooked in the game. Some people have suggested that walkways would be useful and maybe the ability to edit your slopes after you've built them rather that demolishing and rebuilding the whole slope, I would agree. However, I got this at a discounted price and it's definitely worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really barebones unfortunately. I thought it would be like Golftopia but there really isn't much to the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a really bad game, nothing about it work
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →many bugs and terrible optimization
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On MacBook, the only button that works in the menu is Exit. All the other buttons don’t do anything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun game but its getting repeptive since the developers stopped the project.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so relaxing. I love to play it when there is bad weather outside. 10/10 would reccomend
