Its very expensive, and its not worth it at all, when the tutorial is so bad, it dont explain what to do. So if you are stock at one point, to bad you cant progress in the game. The few first steps shows a video, but later on it stops for some reason. So im stuck in the tutorial, and I cant progress, not the best way to get players to stay. The tutorials should give the player confidence to tackle problems, and give …

Copa City – Big Expectations, Big Disappointment I had been waiting for Copa City for almost two years, and I was genuinely excited to finally play it. Unfortunately, the release ended up being a major disappointment. It only took me about 45 minutes of gameplay to decide to request a refund. The game simply failed to live up to the expectations that the developers had built over the years. The biggest issue for me …

9 hours in and I didn't even notice. Didn't expect a football tycoon to hook me like this. You're organizing matches, managing a stadium, building something from scratch, and it actually works. The mechanics are well thought out, there's a flow to it that I haven't found in similar games. If you've ever dreamed of running your football match and feel the football fiesta - just get in, and give it a try.

The idea of managing the whole city around a football match instead of the team itself is really fresh and honestly pretty addicting. Building fan zones, dealing with crowds and getting everything ready before kickoff is way more fun than I expected. The graphics and art style also look really nice and give the game a lot of charm. There are a few things to be polished (urgent!), but if you like management games, …

This game caught me off guard in the best way! I expected a pretty simple management game, but it ended up being one of those games where you “just want to do one more”. What surprised me the most was the depth of the gameplay mechanics! There are diffferent layers to this game and it really gets more interesting with time. Figuring out how to make everything work together is super satisfying. Tbh the idea for the …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For me this game is severly dissapointing. Here is why: 1. It has a very boring mandatory turtorial that takes more than an hour to do. Information during the turtorial is very vague and it is hard to tell what it wants me to do sometimes. Considering I am hearing more players getting whashed out of the game before completing the turtorial is a really big issue. 2. The game is buggy and messy, unfinnished or hardly thought out contents, few playability options and not a lot of content which I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I waited two years for this game every buggy I cant get passes the main story it says i need to buy tickets for my fans but i cant and stuff they need me to buy for fans is unlocked hopefully we can get this game to a more stable state and also after you complete the main story 1-8 unlock single match mode iv cant get passed the 9th campaign iv done it 8 times now its sad i really had high hopes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I agree with some of the negative reviews out there - the game definitely has a few bugs that need ironing out. For instance, I had to completely restart campaign level 4 because the game failed to properly track the three district values when I build the corresponding buildings (value didn't increase or decrease). That being said, I really see the huge potential here. The core management loop is engaging, and what impresses me most is the development team. They are incredibly responsive and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looked forward to this game for ages. However, it feels unfinished. There doesn’t seem like there’s a lot to do, and the tutorial, which is mandatory, is missing parts and doesn’t explain the game very well at all. I’ll wait a few months before playing it again in the hope that it gets sorted.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game. 1. I like how you can control everything in this game. The interface is robust as if you were playing eu4 which forces you to learn the controls but gives you a lot of freedom. 2. Tutorial is too long so its better to watch a video and skip the tutorial 3. Real clubs, cities and stadiums 4. Nice graphics, it runs well on my mid laptop
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a cheap mobile game. General basis of the game feels boring. Would not recommend unless you would like to waste 30€
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely disappointing. I was hoping Copa City would be more of an owner/management sim, but instead I’ve spent hours doing crowd-control tasks. I still haven’t even managed to get through the tutorial because I’ve been stuck repeating the charity match section for far too long. After watching videos, it seems that once the tutorial is over, the main gameplay is just moving through a few different cities and doing more crowd control. After two years of looking forward to this game, that is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very buggy, few texts are missing some missions u cant complete and just gives u negativ in the quests
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tutorial is a mess got bored after an hour of playing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a game with such huge potential, let down by overcomplicated mechanics and/or poor tutorials.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assumed this would be more of a "choose one of the licensed teams and manage their stadium" thing, rather than "here's three real stadiums that bear no relation whatsoever to any of the licensed teams, put down some hot dog stands in a few parks near them".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played the game for 18 hours and am stuck on the tutorial level, Charity event. I have completed it once, but have not completed any goals, as the first is ~25k tickets for level 1, and you need level 2 at 40k to advance. Some of the tasks give you no indication of what to do. Like "Picnic at x place". I'm very disappointed with my purchase, and unfortunately, nothing can be done at this point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is difficult in a way that makes you really think and strategies how things needed to be done. Tutorial is rough but no game is perfect everywhere, especially for a small team not at a Triple A standard. Most important is to allow the developers too make adjustments. Not every game is perfect if they were no fun. The most honest thing here is that, YES the game does lack some proper tutorial but its not difficult at all so people who complain about it most likely interested in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah this is a giant thumbs down from me. Here’s why in a nutshell: -Tutorial is absolute garbage. The characters are too busy talking to each other rather than teaching you how to play and trust me you NEED a good tutorial for this game. -Graphics are sub-par, and don't even have NPC’s reacting to the stalls in each section. -Voice acting is dreadfully cringe levels of awful. -Gameplay is nonsensical, confusing and doesn’t work as it’s intended. Hell my “Fun” stalls were actually giving me…

neutral · AI labelView post →For me this game behaves like a badly written crypto miner. As soon as I hit the black message in the beginnign the GPU runs at 100% and that never changes. I tried at low graphic settings, same behaviour. With DLSS is the same. I really wanted to try the game but I feel too bad for my card. As a positive thing I enjoyed how quickly the game executes ALT F4 Update: Found the issue, the Game has no FPS limit and tries to render everything with over 9000 FPS. You can (and should) set the limit…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is super easy to get into and so much fun. It plays really smoothly, and I ended up playing for a while without even realizing how much time went by. The customization is really fun too, and the tutorial does a great job of explaining everything without making it feel complicated. It’s also a great game for soccer fans who want to see more of the business side of the sport instead of just playing matches.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tried the game out got through the tutorials tried the first campaign mission and couldn't complete the first item that was requested not a city builder game as I have previously thought it is just a matchday fan experience simulator not as much customization as I thought there would be based on the games previous promotions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After spending more time with Copa City, I can clearly see that the developers have fixed most of the interface issues and improved the overall stability of campaign missions. What impressed me the most: -is the whole system of dynamically managing fan zones and city streets. It constantly forces you to react to the behavior of thousands of fans, which makes the gameplay feel much more engaging and realistic. Big pluses after the updates: -campaign tasks now progress much more smoothly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you get the hang of it its a really fun game, pretty well polished with decent graphics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you think there's nothing worse than a Driver tutorial, try COPA CITY.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will keep it short but sweet. I really looked forward to this game but upon loading it and spending some time it left me feel like I'd paid a lot of money for a PC game that plays like a mobile game. TL:DR It just isn't fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT get this game if youre into management simulator. THIS is a mobile esque game for an absurd price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**Not Recommended — Plenty of Potential, but Currently Boring** COPA CITY has a genuinely interesting concept and plenty of potential, but unfortunately the actual gameplay is far too slow and repetitive. The tutorial drags on and does very little to make the game feel exciting. Even after getting through it, the gameplay continues to move at a painfully slow pace, with many tasks feeling like the same routine repeated over and over again. The dialogue does not help either. One of the main…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got attracted to the game due to hearing about a significant price reduction. I saw 32 euros as slightly too much, but 22 seemed fine. The game itself is very pleasurable, i enjoy the calmness you feel while playing it. I did a dumb move and skipped the tutorial, which made me feel like I do not understand a lot of things, so came back to it. I feel like you gotta spend first hours on understanding how the game works as sometimes you may feel like you do not know how to do some objective they…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the idea of the game, tutorial is a bit lengthy but needed as there is a lot of mechanic you need to remember. Hope they add more clubs in the future, overall good fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a really great way to spend your free time! It also makes you realize how much stuff is happening behind the scenes of huge football events like the FIFA matches going on right now. You are in charge of the whole event, from logistics to everything happening around the stadium. It's fun, keeps you busy all the time and always makes you think a few steps ahead. This is this type of game where you thinking: "ok, one more match, I can do this better next time". Very engaging! Every decision…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots and lots of bugs unfortunately. First of all the game is all empty, i finished the demo and nothing changed, the single match feature is good but so problematic. 1- When taking quests, there is no information about what you need to fulfill. When you accept a side quest and then you see what you need to do. For example there was a Kebab Stand quest that i accepted, after i accept i realized that Kebab stand is opening on 3 and i was on 2. But yet i offered for that. Before i accept i…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great concept, and it's been executed really well. Looking forward to seeing more teams added in future updates. If you enjoy city-building games and soccer, this is an easy recommendation.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs ALOT of time and work, few bugs here and there. alot of things are unclear of what to do or when. tutorial is average. Fun game but as it is right now, it needs alot of work and better tutorial or even better a new tutorial. EDIT: if the devs keep improving the most common and most requested bugs, fixes, etc. i will try to play it again and hopefully change the review to positive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a very good game, but I don’t know if it’s just me but I’ve struggled to get past the ninth tutorial just because I can’t get my match reads up enough. I don’t know if that’s just me or face anything else but the game is really good, but I wish I’d like difficulty options so you can choose an easier difficulty overall the game is really good.

neutral · AI labelView post →Very buggy game. It's a nice idea and the range of buildings is pretty good, but once you reach a certain point there is basically no reason other than appearance to not place the 'best' premium building over and over until you reach the points needed. Instructions are unclear at various points and there are bugs that can prevent you progressing the campaign. Game feels very rushed/unfinished and yet they are already trying to add a paid for DLC onto the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been really enjoying Copa City so far. The game offers a fresh and unique concept by letting you manage everything around a major football event instead of playing the match itself. Building the atmosphere, organizing the city, and keeping fans happy makes for an engaging and rewarding experience. The graphics are clean, the interface is easy to understand, and the gameplay has a nice balance between strategy and creativity. Every decision feels meaningful, and it's satisfying to see the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game really caught my attention. At first, I went with zero expectations and eventually ended up spending 2 hours without even noticing the time passing. The fact that you can manage the whole matchday experience (from fan zones to security, food, and logistics) makes the game very addictive to play in a good way. I received a lot of satisfaction when everything ran smooth and the fans were happy before kickoff, which genuinely feels good. There are however, still some things which need to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The experience I got playing Copa City is refreshing in its uniqueness. It's a true representation of football pandemonium with all its chants, complaints and fans running around the field. Although the tutorial can be improved due to complicated gameplay, after getting used to it, things start falling into place. Audio is top-notch for football fans – there is a lot of great sounds and music. Being primarily a fan of old-school classics in Steam, the game caught my eye because it was something…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I started playing a few days after launch. I didn't encounter any technical issues, and the game ran smoothly on the highest settings. The gameplay mechanics are deep and enjoyable. Some of the mechanics were a bit confusing at first, but after a few attempts, I understood how they worked and what I needed to do. I'd love to see more clubs added in the future, but overall it's a nice mix of city-building, tycoon, and football management elements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game. its incredible fun to manage and prepare an event. it is engaging and difficult in a good way. and overall a good experience. Only concern is that the level in the campaign after the tutorial is a bit hard so early on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game as I liked the sound of what i'd heard, as soon as i loaded in I saw the UI was quite tacky and poor, especially compared to the graphics of the game, I decided to skip the tutorial and figure things out, as most games would give you a bit of info on what to do when in game. When i hovered over things that were locked, while most games would give you an indicator on how to unlock them or what you needed, I got nothing. The game would force me into doing tasks or lose some points…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →COPA CITY is a very competent addition in tycoon/city manager genre. I have a good time playing it. I think it has lot o potential to be build upon, and despite having some issues, I think the dev team is trying to see the community and fix those things on regular basis. I like the art style. It's very matching this type of game, it's not distracting and allows you to mange your events and city spaces very clearly. Definitely worth giving it a shot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun tycoon/management simulator with a football spin, game is quite detailed, great variety of clubs, and runs great on linux launched without any launch flags. Graphics decent and run very well even on bad pcs. So much detail in every subsystem, recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The biggest plus is the feeling that the city has a life of its own. Fans move between districts, enjoy the attractions and provide a great backdrop for the gameplay. It can sometimes be difficult to find specific information quickly in the menu. It's a good thing there's a tutorial, because it's all quite complex.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had this on my wishlist for ages but never bought it. The tutorial patch finally got me to pick it up, and it was a good call. It teaches the mechanics well, so I was playing properly pretty quickly instead of getting destroyed and giving up. Big respect to the devs. They're active on Discord and the forums, they listen to feedback, and you can see community requests showing up in patches. People asked for a tutorial and they delivered. Still a few rough edges, but it keeps getting better with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Copa City pleasantly surprised me. At a time when many games rely on familiar formulas, the developers decided to try something different - instead of managing a club or playing matches, we focus on everything surrounding a major football event. Organizing the city, preparing the infrastructure, and taking care of the fans' experience is a really interesting direction that helps the game stand out from other tycoon titles. I really like the atmosphere of the game. The cities and stadiums look…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Copa City is a really refreshing take on the management genre. Instead of building a team or playing football matches, you're responsible for organizing everything around the event and making sure the city is ready for thousands of fans. It’s a concept I hadn’t seen before, and it works surprisingly well. The gameplay is easy to understand but offers enough depth to keep you thinking. Every decision matters, from placing attractions and services to managing logistics and keeping visitors happy.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best football management games focused on organizing match days, fan zones, supporters and stadium operations. I really like the visual presentation. At first glance the game looks fairly simple, but once you start playing you realize it has a lot of depth and can be surprisingly challenging. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys football management games. I didn’t expect it to be this engaging, but it pleasantly surprised me. I’m also curious to see how the gameplay…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My campaign is bugged on the 2nd tutorial mission where you need to destroy any item that you've placed. Well, the game will not destroy anything at all. no matter how many times i reload the game and click the demolish button, it does nothing. and i literally can not progress because of it. Capitalism tag is befitting for this game. Devs rushed it out knowing it was not ready, but they needed that money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not fun at all, they could have create something waaaaaaaaay waaaaaay better, but most importantly funny. DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even tho I am not a football fan I had great time playing. I would definitely recommend it for fans of strategic and management games. It has a unique vibe and gives a realistic feeling of stress and chaos before a huge event. I am greatful for a tutorial, as some mechanics may be a bit confusing at first. The game has some minor problems like typos, but nothing that takes out of the enjoyment of a gameplay. Can't wait for future updates and other games from this studio!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like Copa City, was excited to try it since a long time, saw it on Youtube quite a time ago. The game is basically same as I expected it to be. I really like the graphics, I think the game looks realistical, especially the design of stadiums. What I like the most is the amount of details and different cool thinks you can build, from fan zones, to organising the stadium design or recruiting stewards. I really like the fact that the tutorial is not mandatory as I heard that its quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Copa City takes a rather unconventional approach to management games. Instead of managing a team or just the stadium itself, the focus is on preparing the entire event and the environment surrounding the match. The concept itself is intriguing and definitely makes the game stand out from the competition. For me, the biggest asset is the atmosphere. The stadiums and cities look great, and watching the different elements of the event come together is highly satisfying. At the same time, it's not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very disappointed on this, had high hopes. Boring AF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have been looking forward to the game. Has a solid idea but feels early access. Trying to gain Match Readiness (MR) but missions require objects to be placed at a higher MR than what i'm currently at. Keep failing the missions. Maybe after a while the devs will fix this and make the game more enjoyable. Not managed to complete a game yet because of frustration in trying to progress.
