Music and sound effects are great too as with all Sim games, it’s aspirational and inspirational, urging you to do right by you little virtual townsfolk. The toy-town tilt-shift camera effects are charming and good-looking, letting you zoom right up close on individual Sim inhabitants and follow them around on their daily routines, while a number of Instagram like filters can be applied to give your city a whole new feel. The work that’s clearly gone into the UI is seen in most other areas of the game’s presentation too. If there’s a lack of high-wealth residential areas ready for development, click the Land Value Map to see city wealth displayed like a heat signature, and all the things positively and negatively affecting land value in your city. If there’s a water shortage, click the Water Map button to see fluids pumping along beneath your city streets and the best places to pop a water tower. Any button whose controls you are unsure of can be hovered over for tooltips, while every layer of micromanagement has beautiful visual identifiers that overlay on top of the game world, giving you a far clearer indiction any problems your city may be facing than any notification or finance sheet ever could in previous games. Navigating the many complex layers of infrastructure and construction is incredibly easy. For starters, it’s one of the most inviting and clean user interfaces a simulation game has ever offered up. For the first few hours, it feels like everything a modern day SimCity should be.
