There's a few small nagging issues I have with the game, but I don't see why it got so much negative press so early on. It's a little content light, but it's still plenty fun and the city building and economic simulation tools seem like a great foundation for the future.
And once mods get involved? Ooh! This is gonna be good
That's my whole point, they should be bonus and not a necessary thing to fix what developers didn't add. Mind you I didn't play this game, just pointing out that mod support and community content is an added bonus, not base game. Base game needs to be good for the asking price.
