  • Highrise offers extensive avatar customization with thousands of items and stylish outfits, ideal for fans of fashion and self-expression.
  • The game features a creative social platform where players can build rooms, worlds, host events, and form meaningful friendships within a diverse and inclusive community.
  • Regular events, games, and updates keep the gameplay engaging and provide various opportunities to earn items, enhancing the social and creative experience.
  • Excessive monetization and pay-to-win elements make it difficult for free players to progress or enjoy all features; many valuable items and events require significant spending.
  • The community can be toxic, cliquish, and unfriendly towards new or free players, with reports of harassment and inappropriate behavior not adequately moderated.
  • Customer support is slow, unhelpful, and sometimes rude; coupled with bugs, glitches, and poor communication from developers, this worsens the overall experience.

    The story aspect is praised for its rich fashion-themed storytelling and immersive social world where players create and share unique narratives through outfits and events. However, reliance on other players for event quests can lead to frustration. Recent updates introduce engaging seasonal story-driven quests and user-designed content, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “It's perfect for those who love fashion, storytelling, and building their own social world.”
    • “Every outfit, pose, and item tells a story and as a long-time collector, I've fallen in love with the details, the artistry, and the excitement of every new release.”
    • “It's kinda like a small world where everyone has their own little story going on.”
    • “People are not going to just come up to you and start asking for your life story.”
    • “The event quests are often reliant on other players as well, making the gameplay extremely frustrating.”
    • “I have never seen any game besides Highrise seem to make it their life mission to anger their playerbase.”

    Grinding in the game is widely described as tedious, time-consuming, and often frustrating, with many events and season passes requiring excessive playtime for minimal rewards. Players find the grind especially unrewarding, making it feel like a waste of time, particularly for free-to-play users.

    • “It's very tedious and probably not worth it for you if you don't feel like running the game 24/7 with TeamViewer to remote in while you are away.”
    • “Most of the events are grindy, meaning you need to spend hours in-game to finish them.”
    • “The main complaints for the season pass are as follows: they make the goals extremely tedious with extremely low payout, so it strongly feels like a waste of time every time you participate in the event.”

    The gameplay is praised for being relaxing, engaging, and creatively stimulating, providing a great way to unwind. However, it faces criticism for awkward controls, reliance on other players in events, and a challenging in-game economy that often requires spending money to progress. Overall, opinions on gameplay are mixed, with some finding it enjoyable and others frustrated by its mechanics and monetization.

    • “The gameplay is relaxing and engaging, making it a great way to unwind and express your creativity.”
    • “From the very first moment, it pulled me in with its beautiful design, relaxing music, and creative gameplay.”
    • “From a gameplay and economy perspective, it has become much more difficult to earn gold or obtain desirable items without spending substantial amounts of money.”
    • “Gameplay is as follows on PC-- janky controls, you have to use your mouse to move which makes it extremely awkward to use.”
    • “The event quests are often reliant on other players as well, making the gameplay extremely frustrating.”
  • monetization

    The game's monetization is heavily focused on frequent, high-priced item bundles and in-app purchases that many players view as aggressive cash grabs. While there are some free rewards through ads, daily streaks, and giveaways, these only partially offset the expensive economy. Overall, the heavy monetization combined with slow support contributes to a negative player experience.

    • “There are constant pop-up ads for insanely high-priced item bundles, like the ugly Idollz items, pets (and now their outfits too), and random new items with features that never existed before. The game seems desperate to get addicted players to spend their paycheck before they miss out.”
    • “It suffers from heavy monetization alongside a toxic community culture, slow support, and serious safety concerns for younger players.”
    • “The game is very in-app purchase heavy.”
  • graphics

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with praise for the lively, charming, and inclusive artwork as well as strong customization options, but criticism for the 3D implementation that can appear awkward and detract from the game's original art style.

    • “The lively and charming graphics make every scene and character delightful to watch.”
    • “Polished graphics, great vibes, and enough customization to make your digital self better dressed than your real one.”
    • “I tried it out because of the Neopets collab and I enjoy the artwork.”
    • “The 3D-ifying of everything needs to stop; it's making games lose their originality in art style, and it straight up looks like AI slop.”
    • “The graphics look horrible, as you're in a 3D space with 2D avatars, so everyone's characters look warped from the awkward angles.”
  • music

    • “From the very first moment, it pulled me in with its beautiful design, relaxing music, and creative gameplay.”
    • “You even dance to some awesome electronic music!”
    • “You can build your own rooms and worlds, join friends in those rooms and worlds to socialize, dance, listen to music, relax, talk, just hang out, play games, host events, do whatever your mind can imagine!”
