Love both of those and cant wait for Farthest Frontier to reach full release. My unhealthy obsession with city builders consumes a lot of gaming hours.
 

How about Anno 1800? Or something little darker - Frostpunk? Or quirky - Tropico 6?

 

There are soooo many, haha!

Eh, I didn’t realise farthest frontiers is not in full release mode. I’m currently trying to figure out how to produce enough shoes for my city. 
 

I’ve been meaning to try the tropico franchise… is it any good?

Used to have City Skylines, but found it a bit troublesome to use.

Many years ago used to play Sim City 2000. That was a tad easier.

 

Are there any free options available online these days?

@cycle25 strangely enough, whilst I don’t play city skylines as often as I used to, I would watch YouTube videos of peeps fixing traffic when I’m doing solo meals. It’s strangely therapeutic.

I do the same to be honest. The game is bit broken without mods when it comes to traffic simulation. And the people “out there” are always way smarter at figuring out stuff, so I enjoy the fixing show.

 

Regardless, have my hopes up for Cities: Skylines 2 that should be released later this year.

Yep, Farthest Frontier is in early access mode. So far the full release has not been announced (unless I missed it somewhere)

 

Tropico is unique because of used humor and general writing, but otherwise it is solid city builder but it may not click with you. You are represented as El Presidente in the game world and you have to stay in power and survive elections for example. The game is more playful in the whole dictatorship element and Caribbean setting. You can get it either on sale to test it out, or check some youtube vids to give you a better idea.

Quite excited for City Skylines 2. Was a long time fan of SimCity, ar least up until the last version they released. 

Looking forward to the modders for Skylines as I found them to be an awesome bunch!

Biffa ❤️

I love C:S and I play it from time to time. Only downside is it makes my CPU scream at me as it burns lmao

I got my city pop up to 200+k before with a few extensions and the game there was just stuck to CRAWLING speed

For years, I held off from playing the latest SimCity coz my old computer coudlnt handle it. Then yeara again later waited until I could afford another upgrade to play City Skylines.

Considering to get City Skylines 2, not sure if I should get it since I didn't spend a lot of time with the first one.

Unfortunately unable to login to my Steam account despite reset-ing the password. Anyone encountered that before?


Have you tried reaching out to their user support? I forgot my password after months of inactivity and they were able to reset for me. It only took few email rounds to confirm my identity.

Thanks, I got it to work again finally. That was an interesting ride for sure, haha. I think I must have reset it like 4 or 5 times.
