Power to the People

Solid and definitely have an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Power to the People is an electrifying strategy game where you build an electrical infrastructure that even ČEZ would envy. You aim to satisfy customers and make as much money as possible. Simplicity is the game’s strong point, and it provides a fun distraction for a short while, even if the gameplay isn’t particularly thrilling. It’s more of an average gaming experience that didn’t do anything wrong, but didn’t offer anything extraordinary either.

“Power to the People is a relaxing game and I found myself rather pleased with it. It’s a game that challenges people at a level that they feel comfortable with. That said, while the game is solid, I feel as though there isn’t a lot of replayability. Additionally, the tech tree adds flavor and assistance to the player, but it’s a feature that management simulation games possess making it common place in this genre. Regardless, if management simulation games are your style, this is a great entry level title to pick up. It helps that it isn’t expensive either!”

Power to the People is an interesting take on the resource management genre. I would have liked to have been able to pause the game when I needed to upgrade or fix a broken power line, without being in a rush to get it replaced. However, aside from that, this is an enjoyable game playing with power grids that just might bring a spark into your life.
