Simply my favorite game ever made. This game made me feel more things than I've ever felt playing a video game before, and that's no exaggeration. If you want to play this game, please go in absolutely blind, it's how the game was meant to be played. You can only really experience this game once, don't rob yourself of it.
SimCity

An early indicator of what would become of a lot of modern gaming. Axed a lot of player agency and options from Sim City 4 and was required to always be online. Showed how predatory EA and Triple A developers were going to get. Diablo III was just the beginning. Sim City helped get the snowball rolling. Had I known what was going to happen, I would have spoken up sooner, but now we're stuck in this hellscape we've made for ourselves.

G+mers will literally eat any slop that's put in front of them without thinking twice about it. A solid 3 hours of play is all I needed to know this is just yet another derivative, early access survival sandbox with the most phoned-in gimmicks all done better in the games its ripping off.
Maybe the 1.0 release can bring me back to it, but that's a long road of fixing basic mechanics and adding any actual incentives to keep playing until that happens.
