Or something very similar, which is the best one? Which is the one not plagued by bugs? Which is the best value for money. Etc.

Ta!

Cities Skylines by far. Tons of mods on steam workshop.

MadMouse101 · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:00

+1 for Cities Skylines

Josh · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:03

Skylines > 'erething else.

Epic game now we have tunnels!

CapitalOne · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:06

Cities Skylines without a doubt. Sim city but better

R400 · 30 Jun 2015 at 22:07

As above. Simcity 4 is worth a look too if you can get it working on your rig.

plus two

I tried Sim City 4 and hated it. Go with Cities Skylines

Hmmm I may try Skylines.

Sim City 3 was good! Very old now though.
Sim City 4 is exactly the same yet just crapper! Avoid.

Wouldn't say avoid... only get it if you find it very cheap!

Cities Skylines

It's hard to look beyond Cities Skylines. An excellent game in a genre populated with only one recent good release - Cities Skylines (and another abortive attempt at a cash grab).

Cities Skylines is great, and this is coming from a guy who never had any interest in city builder games!

Spuddy · 1 Jul 2015 at 15:26

Wow thanks guys, seems like Cities Skylines it is then!

Lately I've been itching to play another city building game, remember playing Sim City 2000 back in the day!

So with that said, cheapest place to get Skylines from?

From Brazil is very cost effective.

I picked up the Deluxe Edition for £16 from NUUVEM JOGOS. Let me know if you need details of how to do it.

cities skylines is the only real choice.

banished is fun for a few hours but not really a city builder it's more of a survival vs the elements for your citizens with you providing the buildings that allow the manufacturing of fur coats etc.

worth a buy if you can get it for cheap

Another vote for Cities:Skylines

however i need to go back to it! at launch i put about 24hrs into it, but that consisted of a lot of attempts at restarting and messing about to try and get a city going that doesn't get bogged down by traffic issues. i gave up but enjoyed my time with it! nay return soon and restart for the 10th time

(less than that really)

Age of empires kinda games are city building to a small degree.
Sim city 1 on snes i liked cos of the cartoony advisor, never really liked the later ones.
Most modern ones seem a bit complex to be fun there was this egypt i think building game i think it was called pharaohs.

Poneros · 3 Jul 2015 at 01:40

I'll go old school and recommend Pharaoh instead. Also Emperor: Rise of The Middle Kingdom was close to my heart as well. I also like Grand Ages too, but some people seem to not like it that much.
