## Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise Skyscrapers for its high-quality visuals, architectural focus, and open-ended, kid-friendly exploration. Many say it fosters curiosity and conversations about buildings. However, a large share critique its lack of goals, progression, and guidance, calling it not a traditional game and often boring or overpriced. Several users feel there’s little to do without actively triggering actions, and some question paying for a title with no clear objectives. Overall, strong design and learning potential overshadowed by value and gameplay concerns.

### Pros

- Beautiful visuals and thoughtfully designed interface.
- Educational value; encourages architectural thinking and conversations with kids.
- Open-ended, exploratory play rather than a traditional game.
- Kid-friendly and accessible for younger children (roughly 4–8 years old).

### Cons

- Lacks goals or progression; can feel boring and repetitive.
- Not worth the money; many users call it overpriced for the amount of play.
- No tutorial or clear instructions; objectives are unclear.
- Gameplay relies on user actions to trigger events; little happens automatically.
