SimCity (2013) - GR Review

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.

Read the user reviews for SimCity on Metacritic, and you'll find what seems like a GR Showdown of epic proportions. The vast majority of them slam Electronic Arts for ruining the single-player experience of a beloved franchise with always-online DRM. It may be unfair to reduce SimCity to a single issue, but it's hardly irrelevant. The sheer quantity and variety of server issues I've experienced has been toxic. However, once I'm fully embedded in a game session, I forget the troubles of always-online DRM and merrily organize and cultivate my city to my heart's content, as long as I'm not "unable to claim a city at this time."
