For the SimTower lovers out there comes a modern retelling of that age-old tale. The one where an all-seeing dude sits atop a cloud, or a nearby sidewalk, and uses their x-ray vision to observe, command, and build their very own skyscraper. It's probably safe to say that Project Highrise is the spiritual successor to SimTower, it offers up a similarly calming and enduring gameplay loop that can only come from this type of sim.

From our review.

Without a doubt Project Highrise is inspired by SimTower, you can feel its presence throughout the game. But, much like the excellent Cities: Skylines, Project Highrise aims to modernise things with a clean and visually appealing minimal aesthetic, more intuitive construction options, and thanks to seamless Steam Workshop integration the inclusion of things like community mods. Right from the start the differences to SimTower are clear. Differences that range from feeling like a natural evolution of ideas through to some that feel like an over simplification. One of the big changes comes with construction. Pretty much everything from new floor-space down to setting up an office for rent needs a little digital guy to go to the right location and build it. It’s very cool to watch.
