I bought this game quite a while ago. I took a break but have jumped back in with a vengeance. One of the best things is that it’s not pay to win. You pay your few bucks without any worry of micro transactions. That’s such a huge plus and the game is so worth the small investment. There are a few bugs- mainly graphical from what I can tell- but the main thing that irritates me gameplay wise is traffic. I can understand the need for multi lane asphalt roads in urban areas, but I’d like to be able to use dirt roads in farm country and back in the woods around campsites, etc. I’d like to use an asphalt road as a main artery into farmland, for example, while employing dirt roads to access the farms themselves. The same should apply to camp areas. It would add to the illusion of getting away from the big city. All in all, it’s one of my favorite games on my phone. I can get lost in it for hours on end.

I love the original Pocket City and have sunk an embarrassing amount of hours into it. This is a great follow up – it expands on a lot of the stuff I wanted to see from a sequel. more kinds of buildings, more dynamic cities, and I especially love the huge projects you can do every 20 levels or so. I love the waste management aspect and how you can more specifically control shipping. The reason I'm not giving it five stars is because of all the minigames and quests. The quests that have to do with building stuff are fine but the quests that make you play minigames are unbearable and there are way too many of them. they dilute the city building experience which is what I'm here for, and it's hard to ignore them because the little scrolls get in the way of your finger while you're trying to build stuff. The mini games just aren't good. They're frustrating, tedious, and the controls don't work particularly well. The demolition one is particularly bad because you can't actually see where you're supposed to be going and end up destroying half of your city by accident. If a Pocket City three happens, I would love to just have the fantastic city building and building variety that this series does so well without all the extraneous mini games and chests and collecting clothing stuff that feels like it was dropped in because other games are doing it rather than because it fits this game.

First of all, I’m impressed with the amount of content. The first game was super fun, but got a little repetitive after awhile. This sequel is GREAT and definitely worth the five dollars. However, since the game is extremely new, it has some fixes that needs to be addressed. The helicopter at the fire station has a bug where it’ll continually put out a fire that doesn’t exist on the original building to set fire. When the original building breaks, the helicopter will try to put out a nonexistent fire. Another bug I experienced is whenever time is sped up, helicopters fly extra slow. Not sure if any of this is accidental or intentional (my guess is accidental) but it makes putting out fires a hassle. One last comment is when purchasing more land, it’s pretty expensive and increases in increments of $10,000 I believe? In the first pocket city it went up by $5,000. Now that’s all based off of memory, so I apologize if I’m incorrect. Otherwise, this game is very solid and I highly recommend it. Love to see it!
