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.
Since everyone already recommended my suggestion I’m also gonna throw into the mix
Synergy. Fun game with more of a focus on building sustainably instead of building big and expanding. Great artwork and a neat, alien setting that you have to explore and discover for yourself, adapting to the environmental challenges and local flora/fauna
