Although I usually like playing city building games that focus on realism or sandbox creativity, I actually really enjoyed this game's puzzle-like building mechanics. You work with (and around) building effect ranges to figure out optimal placement for your infrastructure, because depending on a building's surroundings, it changes what type of building it is. For example, a generic residential building might become a gentrified yuppie bloc if there's enough entertainment businesses around. A farm will upgrade if there's enough silos nearby, so figuring out the perfect pattern for farms, fields and silos is a whole puzzle.

It's a lot of fun.

Welcome to Recommend a Game! This is a brand new community for you to share your thoughts, reviews, demo impressions or just gushing about indie games you've recently played.

When posting, please consider the following guidelines:

Posts should be in English
You should have actually played the game. Discussing newly announced games belongs in !news@indie-ver.se
Posts should be your writing. They can be a text post or a link to an external blog or YouTube video that you made, but don't post IGN articles
Your post should be more in-depth that just "this game is great!". Why is it great? What parts of it are not so great? What kind of person would also enjoy this game?
I don't think we need any posts about what incredible hidden gems Stardev Valley, Celeste and Vampire Survivors are.
