It’s getting to the point that you wouldn’t actually need to ever leave your apartment building, and while that’s vaguely dystopian in the context of the real world, it’s fascinating to see how similarly Project Highrise plays out compared to something like Cities: Skylines. These days they have retail and entertainment experiences on the bottom couple of floors, extensive services within the building for residents, and often office lots too. The modern giant apartment buildings that go into city CBDs are really just small cities of people within the larger city. While Project Highrise is visually a different focus to Sim City, in practice, it’s actually much the same thing. You can build office units, residential apartments, or hotel services (or a blend of these three), with the goal being to have enough rent coming in that you can manage all the power, infrastructure, and staff management costs while still turning a profit. So it’s the complete edition, but what do you actually do in Project Highrise? Basically, you do Sim City, but rather than build a complete city, you build a single tower within it. I spend almost all my time in this game playing in the sandbox mode, where you’re free to simply create as long as your in-game finances remain robust, but having access to a wide range of different shops and unit or office types thanks to the regional focus of the DLC additions is a great addition to the base game I can create endless glistening modern Japanese towers. With the Architect’s Edition on the PlayStation 4, you get the complete version out of the box, with all the DLC built right in there. ![]() Success is entirely in your hands.Related reading: Our review of Project Highrise on Apple iPad Fail and you will watch tenants leave in disgust, taking their business elsewhere and leaving your reputation in tatters.
