Reception
Giving it a rating of 65, New Game Network described the game as "fairly shallow, and there seems to be a number of steps back from the 2016 version - aside from the improved visuals."[5] VentureBeat says "as a bare-bones remake of an existing game, it’s not bad," and "it whets my appetite for a more sophisticated and realistic simulation".[6]
