What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

SIM Election has conceptually interesting election simulation mechanics and does a good job portraying Spanish politics, but players report it needs significant polish and development. Common issues include UI bugs like zoom controls getting stuck, coalition formation causing crashes, and UI elements being cut off on certain screen resolutions, along with inconsistent English translations. Most reviewers express hope that development will continue to expand features like deeper party relations and policy systems, suggesting the game has potential but is not yet in a finished state.

Conseptually cool but still needs some work and with some things which I hope are bugs. For example, if you press - the game will zoom out, yet if you press + the game won't zoom back in. Meaning it gets stuck zoomed out. Reinstalling didn't fix this in my case but going CRTL0 did. I tried to form a coalition government at one point and the game just went black. It would be cool if you could add multiple custom parties as being active with that party DLC. Also having more in depth relations with other parties would be cool too. Same with more in depth policy propasals alongside a ideological framework. I just hope this games development is far from being finished. A lot more could be done with this and I hope the developers continue to work on it.

It's unplayable for my 1920*1200 screen. Some of the buttons are blocked by other panels and there's no resolution option

honestly not that bad of an election game though the English translations are sometimes always not the greatest this is very good at portraying Spanish politics though the debates are the only difficulty I have

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

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.
