What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Cities in Motion is praised by players for its unique focus on transportation logistics rather than traditional city building, with a distinctive charm and depth that sets it apart from other management games. Players consistently recommend it as an enjoyable and well-designed simulation, though there are technical issues reported on Linux that may prevent some users from playing. The game appears well-regarded enough that players consider it worth experiencing, particularly for those seeking a different take on city management.

Not recommended Apr 22, 2026
It does not start on Linux and Valve cannot help.

Cities in Motion drowns you in statistics while leaving basic route profitability frustratingly unclear. Add relentless micromanagement and no rival transport companies, and the strategic challenge becomes an accounting shift with buses. It mistakes making every correction expensive for making every decision interesting. It captures the misery of public transport perfectly—then has the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nerve to sell it as entertainment.
Not recommended Sep 27, 2026
I am leaving a negative review not because of the game's mechanics, graphics, or quality, but strictly due to the recent unacceptable attitude of the publisher, Paradox Interactive, towards Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founding father of the Republic of Turkey. As a consumer, I refuse to financially support or recommend a company that openly disrespects historical figures of such profound national and global importance. Ethics, principles, and fundamental respect matter more than any game. I cannot in good conscience support a publisher that blatantly disregards the core values of its player base. I urge other players to consider the ethical stance of the companies they fund before purchasing.

Publisher made racist acts. Do not buy their game, do not support racism!

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
