Megapolis

Review:

Megapolis is your typical Sim City / City Manager / City Skylines clone, but a very capable one especially if you're thinking about letting your kid play with it. That's because even though the game itself can be very, very, tricky with some really complicated mechanics, it presents itself in a way that's very simple and easy to understand, even for a child. The developers were really smart about letting the players play the game as if on wheels by placating each level within certain mission constraints, and telling you exactly what you need to create or do in order to progress. As a learning tool, this game can be used to teach new vocabulary and to train logical processes (if - then / only if and so forth) but we do recommend giving it only to children that already have basic verbal skills in order not to frustrate them as some of the instructions can be quite challenging. The game overall is very pretty to look at and easy to navigate, although sometimes we can get lost, especially when the map begins to get crowded with lots of structures. Although there are no in-game ads to stop the fun on its tracks, the game can be very insisting on its monetization strategy so, as always, supervision is always strongly advised. 4.5 out of 5 Pandas.
