I see they had managed to get my review removed, so just coming back to re-post that this game is horrible and a complete waste of money and the only way they could have possibly made this worse is if they just let AI crap it out.

On Mac I can‘t create a new Game.

I think the game has the right basics, like a nice slope editor, but it lacks depth and a reason for building them. Usually, there’s some form of currency that acts as a blocker to further progress or a motivation to do things one way rather than another. For example, I build a small, cheap ski lift that will generate money so I can build the expensive one up to the peak. In Snowtopia, time is that blocker. Even if you do everything perfectly, you just have to speed up time and wait until new things get unlocked. I respect the choice to reduce the scope of the game, but it just doesn’t work.

Another lack of depth is represented by the variety of buildings available in the game. There are three categories, and within each category, it doesn’t really matter which one you choose.

On top of that, on Steam Deck the FPS drops after about two hours of playing, from 45 to 15.

And I feel sorry it ended up like that, because I think the foundations are pretty good and it could have been a successor to Ski Resort Tycoon 2.
