Pocket City 2 is an addictive and satisfying city-building game for you to enjoy on your mobile. Build every aspect of your city including population, happiness, and quality of life. With features like a research tree, tax rates, and detailed stats, you'll enjoy crafting the perfect city for your citizens. The graphics and music complement each other, and the low poly art style is visually appealing. However, replayability is limited due to the lack of online options.


What we like:
  • Addictive and satisfying gameplay
  • Detailed stats and research tree offer valuable insight
  • Tax rates and micromanaging options add depth
  • Minimalistic graphics and music sync well
  • Low poly art style matches game theme
What could be improved:
  • Limited replayability without online options
  • May get boring after reaching level 50
  • Online multiplayer is not available for those who enjoy competitive play
  • Game can be simplistic in comparison to others in the genre
  • No major innovation from its predecessor
