As Cities Skylines II still isn’t worth it (the sub has a regular thread about that, in summary: no it’s not: https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/1ch6lup/is_cities_skylines_ii_worth_it_megathread/) which games scratch your city building itch?
Smaller scale than Cities Skylines and also have other gameplay mechanics but that’s how I like it.
I was disappointed by Frostpunk. It checks a ton of boxes that should make me like the thing, but I just did not like the game that much in practice.
I dunno, just felt like it was too much on rails, more-restricted in layout than something like a typical Sim City-ish game.
Like, I felt less like I was just experimenting with how a lot of levers interact, as I do in a typical city-builder, and more like I’m just sussing out the right order of levers to pull.
