Let's talk about screen performance first. This game follows a low-polygon cartoon style, with bright colors and rich details inside the Internet cafe, from the flickering of the computer screen to the posters on the wall. Compared with "Internet Cafe Simulator" (that one is more realistic, but the light, shadow and texture are slightly rough), "City Internet Cafe Simulator" is more visually pleasing, and the scene switching is smoother. However, compared with "Internet Cafe Simulator", the latter has more refined character modeling, but slightly less scene interaction.
Gameplay is the key. The core is to operate an Internet cafe: buy equipment, decorate, hire employees, and meet customer needs. The highlight is the "manual save" system. You have to go to bed to save after 9pm. This design adds a bit of realism, but it is also easy to be complained about - for example, if something suddenly happens in the middle of the game, and the save point is not reached, it will be crazy😅. Compared with similar games, "Internet Cafe Simulator" has relatively free archives, but lacks operational depth; "E-Sports Internet Cafe Simulator" adds elements of e-sports events, but the later content is repetitive. "City Internet Cafe Simulator" is richer in "exploration and survival". Events can be triggered randomly in the city, such as encountering conflicts in black Internet cafes, recruiting thugs, etc., making it more playable.
In terms of money: This game is completely free, with no in-app purchases, and it is purely based on skill or strategy. Compared with many simulation games of the same type, which often require you to watch ads to unlock acceleration or paid props, "City Internet Cafe Simulator" can be regarded as a conscientious one. However, it also means that the pace of the game is slow, and newbies will easily feel bored in the early stage. Unlocking advanced equipment in the later stage requires a lot of in-game money, which is a bit annoying.
Social functions: Currently there are only rankings and a simple like system, there is no online cooperation or battle. Similar "Internet Cafe Simulator" supports online transactions and is more social. If you like to run a business quietly by yourself, that's no problem; if you hope to open a store with friends, you may be disappointed.
Overall, "City Internet Cafe Simulator" is at the upper-middle level among similar games, with good playability and graphics. The biggest advantage is that it is free and free of charge. However, the archiving mechanism and post-production rhythm issues require adaptation. Rating: 8 points for graphics, 7.5 points for gameplay, 10 points for gold, 5 points for social interaction, and 7.5 overall points. Suitable for players who like slow-paced operations and don't mind playing solo👌.
If you want to get it, remember: save before going to bed, otherwise you will be playing for two hours in vain😂
