Highrise City is a fairly new indie city building game that feels a bit like a mix between Anno 1800 and Cities Skylines, with sprinkles of Tropico mixed in.

Originally developed by a solo developer, the game was released into early access in 2022 with a full release in late 2023, just before the release of Cities Skylines 2.

So is a game the Stardew Valley of City builders or a game that can be skipped? We'll take a look in today's video, we'll take a first look at the game, starting a new city as we go through the basic mechanics of the game. At the end, I'll show you an advanced city and share my thoughts about the game.

As an FYI - this is NOT a sponsored video and I picked the game up with my own money. Thanks to the developer for answering questions that came up, though!
