Good game bad ad policy
01/12/2023

BobKashmir
As long as you can get a good range of different ships in each area the game is very enjoyable. Jobs and other game play is challenging without being obnoxious. Expect to spend some time in game as well as needing to leave it alone to let jobs finish. You will watch a lot of ads but get good rewards like doubling rewards for watching. My big complaint with the ads is that they allow the ads to close the game and open the App Store. Other games don’t allow that. So minus 2 stars until they fix that.Follow up: My complaint is not with ads not working. Neither have I had an issue with why an advertisement is in a game situation. I have a great issue with certain ads like Royal Match and Merge Mansion that without any option will close the game and open the App Store set to their app. This is unacceptable and unnecessary for any ad to do. Your game is the only app I use that allows this. It can and should be stopped by programming and/or policy. That is why my rating is downgraded.

Hello BobKashmir , we understand that the issues with the ads might disturb your gaming experience with Port City and we are sincerely sorry for that. We would like to advise you to kill all running apps in the background using the task manager before watching any ad to avoid the obstacles, this usually helps! :) - Alz, CM

What? Game Breaking
10/02/2023

What? Well, the game ain’t broken but I hate opening it up now. Before I could see all the cities on the left and easily go between them. Now, there is a world map that I have to scroll through or move through to find the city I want. Just look at my, and what I’m sure is the majority, play and active time sense that change. Goodness…. I’ll be checking back in every few days to see if they revert back to the old method of moving through cities. (I’m sorry to the graphics or guy that was so excited about showing a world map) Update again to the Dev who keeps asking me go change my review. You have broken the game for me. It is arduous, cumbersome, frustrating, annoying, and down right rediculous to play now with this new global map and trying to navigate between cities. Update: no developer I will not update my review. I have not played the game since the new world map portion was introduced. It is too difficult to navigate between Ports easily and quickly. Update to Dev #2: No, I will not update my rating until you change back the global map that makes it slow and cumbersome to move between ports. Update to Dev #3: I’m sorry I stand explain myself better. There is not an issue with my game. It is working fine but you made it worst when you updated to a Global Map that I have to scroll around on between cities. Previously all the ports were listed on the side.

Really loved this game, but…

This game is absolutely fun until you run into glitches and cannot continue. I wrote to them about the first gems disappearing glitch, but there doesn’t seem to be a way for them to respond. I keep checking in my settings area where I sent my message to support, but no response. Now I have run into issues with not being able to access the screen to collect my rewards and all other jobs are saying cannot access area. I have reloaded game as well as tried their suggestion to deal with this glitch, but nothing seems to help. I am at a point where I cannot continue. But I absolutely loved this game up until this point. Ok. So waiting one day seemed to let me access my finished rewards. I am upgrading from a one star bummer, to four. I know the developers are working hard, i do wish there was better communication.Updated april 11, 2024. Looks like they fixed the last issue although no communication. But now the glitches are I have to reinstall each time I want to go to the Suez Canal, otherwise it says cannot go at this time. Very bummed. Game is pretty cool except for this current problem right now.Did I just receive a response yesterday? One year later?

Just Another Pay 2 Progress Mobile Game
07/21/2024

Bobaaganoosh
This game is basically Train Station 2, but with boats. Which isn’t a bad thing. It’s cool. But just like Train Station 2, after the first few hours, you quickly get to a point where it’s basically watch ads or spend real money to not have to wait a long time to progress, or you guessed it - wait a long time to progress. You get to a point where to complete jobs, you need a LOT of X, Y, Z product but to get said product will take you hours and hours. BUT, hey, spend a couple bucks here and you don’t have to! It’s the basic formula for pay to “win” or progress mobile games. It’s how they get you. Along with the FOMO (fear of missing out) “deals” you get, on the good stuff to help you progress. It’s mobile game development 101. Doesn’t take a hot shot to figure that out. But hey, you can spend real money on a loot crate with literally only a 5% chance to get a gold tier boat. And it’s sad too, bc the game is visually very nice and appealing. Actually doing jobs is cool and interesting. The maps are beautifully designed. You just need to either spend a lot of time waiting to get supplies, a lot of time waiting for jobs to complete, or spend real money to do neither of those. I find Pixel Federation has talented devs, but is a greedy company overall. I also wanna say, I find the community manager’s responses to some reviews to be very condescending with some responses basically overlooking a reviewer’s whole point, and just types up a pre written response they have already laid out for any given review topic. You don’t even address most people’s concerns. You just use your copy/pasted CM responses. It’s like you guys have no souls as community managers. Just, whatever pays the bills huh? People have genuine things to say and you just write them off basically.

Developer Response
Dear Bobaaganoosh , yes, Port City app contains ads and it might seem that there's a plenty of them. You can benefit from watching them, although it may be disturbing if an issue occurs. In case of issues, please, report these to our Support, so we can forward them to the ad provider. Thanks! - Alz, CM
