I’m itching to play something like Cities Skylines, but also something that isn’t just about growing and growing, rather building within certain (spatial?) limitations and/or solving problems or something. I hope this isn’t a contradiction, but I’d also like if it had a bit more focus on individual buildings and livability rather than optimizing car traffic, if that makes any sense. I guess i’m looking for something that is a bit more than just a city sculpting sandbox, but less than a full blown metropolis-society-simulator.


Cliff Empire might interest you but I don’t remember if it had livability mechanic
First Frostpunk
Surviving Mars?
Not a city builder, but maybe Oxygen not Included would be your match?
