The city building is fun, and it looks nice. Has the classic simcity feel better than the first game and the nation building is fun. The budget is just tricky enough to balance that it's fun and the health, education, security needs the same. Has a few of the same problems as skylines and other builders where once you get established the difficulty, and so the fun fades away, because you're playing the nation and the city, at that point you can start a new city with the laws and social choices from the last carrying over. So it works.
The buildings look nice, it's relaxing to play and it loads quickly. So yeah, solid city builder.
Graphic bugs are pretty common right now, but they don't seem to effect gameplay and it looks like the dev is working on it so I wouldn't hold back because of that.

The politics, is weird. Feels more based in memes than research or reality so you kind of have to turn your brain off and think about in game effects not the descriptions.
