I could have spent my weekend exploring the wild west on the back of my horse, but instead I was in the heart of a city, building a skyscraper 50 storeys high. And I loved every minute of it.

Project Highrise: Architect's Edition Review
Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition is a real success in the building sim genre. It’s easy application of a daunting set of tools and simple to understand, difficult to master gameplay make it a really fun experience. The variety of backdrops and modes make each pitch feel unique, but the real fun comes from the trial and error of trying out different builds and the pride of seeing your once little build growing into a skyscraper with four Casinos and several penthouses, making you thousands by the day. Though the look is dull and there are a few minor annoyances, that doesn’t take away from the stellar and smart game design that makes a repeat visit to this gem a guarantee.
