Evaluation
Nice City launched on February 14, 2026 as a solo-developed third-person open-world action game with approximately 10 hours of story content, three side storylines, and three endings. The developer — a single individual — was highly active in the weeks immediately following launch, shipping a rapid burst of patches through early March 2026 that added new gameplay systems (a property purchase system, equipment shop, bank heist replay mode, achievements, additional save slots, and expanded clothing options) alongside extensive bug fixes. The last developer communication of any kind was a bug fix patch on March 10, 2026 — now over five months ago as of August 13, 2026. No roadmap, season pass, or announcement of upcoming DLC has ever been made. The developer has not announced any named future content, and the store description contains no promises of ongoing updates. The launch post presented the game as a complete package ("about 10 hours of story, three side stories, three endings, no filler") with no mention of post-launch content plans. The post-launch patch burst is consistent with a solo developer polishing a finished product rather than building toward future expansions. With five months of silence following the last update and no outstanding commitments, the game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained experience.

About this game
I, Nie Yuxing, hereby solemnly declare:
"Kindness Metropolis" was developed entirely by me alone. Due to the limited energy and time of an independent developer, for the large number of scenes, art resources, and functional implementations involved in the game development process, some content utilized official resources and commercial materials obtained through legitimate channels to ensure the successful completion of the project.
Regarding the "Matrix-related content" mentioned by some players, a special explanation is provided here:
The relevant demonstration content involved in the game originates from the example projects and demonstration resources officially released by Epic Games along with Unreal Engine 5. These resources are legal resources provided by Epic Games for developers to learn and use. I obtained them through official and legitimate channels and used them within the scope of authorization. There is no act of stealing, cracking, or illegally obtaining any materials from "The Matrix."
Thank you for your understanding and support!
I hope everyone can focus more on the game experience itself and derive enjoyment from "Kindness Metropolis."
The powerful rendering capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 create an extremely realistic and exquisite game world for players. Whether it's the bustling streets of the city, the buildings full of life, or the swaying flowers and trees, everything is presented with细腻的画质 (detailed graphics), delivering an immersive visual experience.
As a third-person open-world game, "Nice City" offers players great freedom. Players can roam the city at will, freely choosing paths and methods of exploration. You can stroll through bustling commercial districts to experience the lively urban atmosphere, or delve into quiet alleyways to discover hidden secrets. A rich variety of scenes and locations await discovery, and every exploration might bring unexpected surprises.
When facing various challenges, players will use a wide array of weapons for intense shooting combat. The game's shooting feel is smooth, the controls are precise, and different weapons have unique characteristics and attack styles. Players can flexibly choose based on the actual combat situation to formulate personalized combat strategies. From pistols and rifles to rocket launchers, every shot delivers satisfying impact, immersing players in a tense and exciting combat atmosphere.
