Timberborn is still my main game, but curious to see if there are other emerging good ones

    Second rimworld

    Also timberborn.

    The juxtaposition of these two games should be a tell for my Harvey Dent ass taste lmao

    I know rimworld isn’t a city builder, but when you put the 187 mods on it that I have, and you just throw a lot of RAM and processing power at it it becomes a city simulator.

    Songs of Styx, a very in-depth and unique city-builder. A lot of the concepts and their gameplay implementation are very distinct. On example would be the tech tree requiring maintenance (labs, libraries that consume certain resources and require many employees which all need to be fed).

    Downtown District:

    Industrial District:

    Seaport District:

    City overview:

    I tend to play each one for about 50-100 hours or so before jumping to the next. One that hasn’t been mentioned here yet is Going Medieval.

    Against the storm. It’s a roguelite city builder which unlike other city builders I’ve played has not become boring and tedious after you’ve reached the endgame while still managing to scratch all the itches of other citybuilders.

        it really is borderline since it has so few of the genre staples. but if rimworld counts, then surely oxygen not included does as well.

        my current colony is on cycle 1200, and i’ve not even breached the surface. i’m at the point where exploiting the physics engine has become part of every build.

    Cities skyline 2 - I’m a prisoner, I can’t go back to cs1 even though its so much better. I’m pretty sure its abandoned at this point by paradox and modders.
