The Sim-city build it experience

the most experimental game ever played

I didn't decided to discover this simulation game because I am any good at anything that concern cities or anything of that sort.

In fact I actually think that it was through this simulation mobile game that I actually imagined all of the possible ways that a city can generally function generally function.

Now I am not saying that before playing this game I had no idea of how cities function.

Because you have to know how a city function before living in one and I of course was living in cities for most of the time.

But the thing about this game isn't really about learning how cities function after all it is not an educational video game and if that is the what anyone is looking for then they can just study geography.

The real importance of this simulation game is the imagination it can help you bring out which eventually could give you ideas on how a real city could be managed or how problems concerning real cities could be address.

Now of course this sin't an argument favorable for the game on the whole since anyone that have tried the game will tell you in some cases the game can be very unrealistic.

But the truth is that imagination can seem very unrealistic to people until that idea or ambition that simply use to just be an imagination actually get realized in real life.

The whole point is that the benefit of playing a simulation game as this is that it could in a sense, shape you imagination and vision.

Which could help you in real life. Just thing for a moment about who could be a person that has a real life profession that could be entertained by this game.

Maybe you would have said a civil engineer or an architect or even the mayor of a city.

I think that those would be people finding this game king of interesting.

In fact I could even go as far as to say that they could exceed in it. Now of course you don't have to be any of those things in order to exceed in this game.

All you have to do is take what is needed exceed and this could very unfavorably means cheating I know lots of people that have done it.

Or shall i say that I have seen people doing it. So the truth about this game or what I personally thing of it at least, is how it could shape your way of thinking or your imagination and view of how things especially cites could be run.

An important thing to also note is that it could simply draw your interest in it in the first place.

Someone that have no interest in such thing or someone that have never wondered about anything concerning city building could suddenly find interest in that same topic by running the game a couple of time.

To be honest, after playing this game I have to be careful about how i think about cities in general and make sure that the time spend in the imaginary Sim-city build-it world hasn't affect the way I actually vie the reality.

It is true that some of the ideas about how a city could be better upgraded could have originated due to the continuous running of the mobile game.

However I thing that like with everything, this game can make people loose site of reality.

Even if for the most part it will only be for a small amount of time.

Now this has been the first time that I actually make a story about a mobile simulation game.

Which is usually not the type of content I publish. Usually I put out content about real life related topics.

But the thing is that this game kind of shaped my imagination of reality.

It was really the first time that I had a non-real imaginary world effecting the way I could think of aspects of reality.

Which is the reason why I thought it was worth speaking about the game and give my honest opinion about it.

I do not really thing that it is worth or even interesting to speak about the game itself.

So really I am not going to get into the details of the game or start to discus what is the level I am currently on etc.

The main focus of this is about the impact that it could have in the real world.

To be very clear, most people will be willing to play this imaginary city game which is suppose to be for entertainment due to real life serious factors.

Or in other word, this game could provide a mean of escapism from reality for many people.

And anything related to the design choice of their imaginary city could be a reflection of what it is that they are going through in real life.

It could be the city's name, where they are willing to land in it, what it is that they are willing to design, the design choice they have and many other factors.

We all know that people's imagination or choice of imagery is hugely influence by their knowledge.

But it can also be due to what they are going through in real life.

Artist, authors and just people that work in a field that require their imagination are well known for placing a message or a meaning in their work.

And sim-city is all about using your imagination. now I said serious factors but it does not necessarily have to be bad or negative factors.

people don't only go through bad life experience. It could even be good circumstances that they are currently going through in their lives that have influence their imagination.
