TOP 10 City Builders of 2024 (Game of the Year)

[@PauperJ]

The #1 city was built in 1960, and has been growing every year since, Potatograd. You get food, 1 radio station, child care (up to 6 years,) a 22 hour/day job, and heat at least 35% of the time in winter. That's why Potatograd, lead by Comrade-Dictator Potato, is the #1 city built game. Thank you, Comrade. Please bring back the Workers & Resources series. Thank you, Comrade. 10-year subscriber.

Agreed, Workers and Resources is really the best one also for me, and i've still a lot to discover in this game !

[@Jules_Diplopia]

Workers and Resources, I have it. But the UI remains so unfreindly for anyone with less than perfect eyesight, and there was never any response to my requests/comments on this aspect. Manor Lords, only partly a town builder. More so a fighting simulator. No mention of Ostriv. That I am delighted to suggest is the greatest town builder that I have ever played. Oh and with a Dev, who in spite of being in a war zone, still manages to respond to bugs that we find, mostly within a day, whilst still adding new features regularly. Ostriv is about creating your 1700s town in the Kharkiv region, and if you are careful you can build it into a super complex city.

[@sprendinea]

such a bad take on UI. you can increase the size.

[@kloon9699]

A very underrated game. Ostriv was more feature complete than Manor Lords when it was released on Steam.

[@Jules_Diplopia]

@@sprendinea You couldn't the last time I checked. How about a demo, anyone.

[@elcurrante3707]

although workers and resources can improve a lot in terms of ui and how the game teaches you how to play it, it is by far, the best city building experience I ever had in many years (realistic mode is so good)

[@adyan27]

About Manor Lords, I am pretty sure it was the most wishlisted game on Steam period.

[@TheBat216]

Love ur work bro. Merry Christmas n Happy New Year.

[@Alb1n0blkSh33p]

Nice list. Surprisingly I have the first 3 in my library, but Soviet Republic really has a ridiculous learning curve. I'm loving it, but mistakes abound :D. I was wondering where Captain of Industry was lol, but I see that was released in 2022 :O. Happy holidays Potato!

[@alukata9763]

The mistakes in W&S come from the game not being polished... the tooltips are just garbage, because a lot of infos the players need aren't in the tooltips.

[@8000_k]

Frostpunk 2 was meh for me

[@judemoore1248]

Happy Holidays OP!

[@BadgerBishop]

I think Synergy is the one I'm interested in.

[@MabukaMoM]

Almost 100k subs!❤🎉

[@henrychang2267]

How about Endzone 2? Is it not good enough to be in the top 10 list?

[@briancoleman9330]

Ssssooooo close to that 100K subs!!!!

[@DasistkeinHotel]

Be warned, Workers and Ressources is full of bugs, glitches and issues, be it crashes and freezes, totally weird and wrong translations or just glitches like you transport your workers to your factories, but never back (I assume they teleport back home). I've bought it in early access and it feels like still being early alpha.

[@alukata9763]

Workers and Ressources still needs a lot of polishing. In it's current state it's not 1.0 ready.

[@DasistkeinHotel]

I absolutely agree.

[@Thegamingbob50]

Where's Cities Skylines 2?

[@umbral_eidolon]

Came out last year, but is in a much better state after some good patches and mod support

[@SrStakeholder]

Nah

[@Bambeakz]

What up with you keep recommending mixed received games like Frostpunk 2? Almost nobody that loved the first one likes the second . Are they sponsors of the channel? Also Fabledom is abonded right after release with some game breaking bugs left

[@Gigusx]

Frostpunk 2 isn't "mixed received", it's close to 80% and consistently increasing. Reception of the game by hardcore fans of the first one that was bound to be more critical isn't a good reason to not recommend it.

[@Bambeakz]

@@Gigusx Alright I see it is climbing/finding new fans but read the positive reviews to discover it would be mostly neutral reviews if that was possible. It lacks too much what made the first game great. I was pretty hyped about 2 but I would recommend 1 over 2 all day and so would my gaming friends. Glad I got it trough Gamepass.

[@clementine2001]

It's still 2024.
