I like that it has difficulty modes, including a sandbox mode, but I didn't use that one.

I like the fact that you have a standard map setting, where you play with the story - starting with a humble labourer’s hut and building up to a palace and beyond - as well as a creative map setting, where all items and features are unlocked, allowing you to create your perfect city in whichever order/speed you choose.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is subtle but lovely — harp melodies, flutes, soft percussion.
