There is no tutorial to speak of and the menu system can be a bit cumbersome and confusing.
Pro Multiplayer also an option with up to 8 player online co-op

Con Townspeople schedule is difficult to keep up with
The game asks the player to meet everyone in town, while there is mini map that shows where townspeople are, certain townsfolk are missing from this map such as shop keepers. This makes it difficult to keep up with who is where.
Con Large amount of grind
While it is the bread and butter of the gameplay, the amount of work that needs done from the start is quite a lot and so you will be doing the same thing over and over again. The whole farm is dilapidated, meaning everything needs cleaned up, weeds need cleared, rocks need cleared, tress need cle...
Pro Long playtime
The game is reported to taking over 10 hours for one season in the game, of which their are four season in a year. Which means it can take 40 hours just to get though the first year in the game, of which there can be many. This means a user can easily sink in 100s of hours into the game, making for

Pro Relaxing to play
Building your prison is almost zen like. There are periods of stress when there are riots or things going wrong, but you can always pause to take your time and figure out a good solution.
Con Games can last a long time and difficulty is unknown until level is started
Not knowing how long a game will last can be frustrating for those just looking for a quick sessions. On top of this the terrain will not be known until a round is started, which means it could potentially be stacked against the player, which makes for unknown difficulty before a round is started.

By playing the campaign mode users can easily get used to the game at a comfortable pace, with new elements getting introduced the further one makes it. This is a great way to learn the gameplay as it can get complex.
Pro Great mix of strategy and puzzle
Concrete Jungle mixes city building strategy with aspects of line clearing puzzlers such as Tetris in a very original way.

Con Poor representation of changing times
The art in the game does not represent different time periods very well. The game starts out in the early 20th century and eventually builds up to the modern era. It does not matter what time period the player is in, little in the design of the games is representative through graphics changes.
Pro Allows for choice in play
There is a mission mode (which is great for those that want to learn the ins and outs of the game through progression) and a sandbox mode (which is more like a city builder where it is up to you how to create your civilization). This makes for a good choice of different play depending on what the...
Con AI is poor
Being that this is a strategy city builder type game, the pathways residents take and the basic Ai overall leads to issues with control of ones city/base. Really it shows a lack of design and polish in this area as it does impact the users enjoyment of the gameplay.
Pro Fantastic graphics
The graphics in the game show a lot of polish. Everything looks sharp and is well themed to the environment of a space colony. Domes in the city at night shine as one would expect in real life. The planets as well look individualistic and well crafted in that they show a level of depth through lig...
