Bold indie city builder that fresh enough Things I liked [*]Moneyless concept is amazing [*]Resource dependencies that the dev made cool [*]Smooth progress and non-stop planning [*]Different paths to win the map [*]Unique biomes with distinct resources and buildings that vary gameplay [*]Flexible map settings, map generation working well [*]Map editor and workshop [*]Great performance (optimization) A bit more about [*]Mixed elements of the puzzle games and city builders ofc (perfect layout researching, resource management, map size limits, etc.) [*]I don't feel any balance issues that many folks mentioned in their reviews (debatable) [*]Can be learned trully fast, but game still challenging yet (especially w/o guides) [*]It has good replayabilty IMO [*]More Anno (2205?) than Caesar [*]More Caesar than TheoTown [*]More TheoTown than SimCity [*]More SimCity than Sweet Transit [*]More Sweet Transit than TTD (and/or FT, etc.) So, I highly recommend this game

I enjoyed this a lot, the game is fun, it's a lot of work, it's quite a fair bit of thinking, tries and attempts, and the requirements makes things challenging but fun and it's a fun game just to sit down to and play over and over again in general. The beginning is easy, but as it scales, providing services is difficult, you need a certain number and requirement by and large too. A fun time consuming game, would highly recommend, easy to learn, still challenging even as you become more familiar.

I feel it's only really worth buying if it goes on sale (and I don't mean goofy 10 - 20%). Urbek City Builder can be fun at the start, leaves you with a lot of confusion however, and shows plenty of inconsistency, i.e. within Tool tips that describe the accurate opposite of what you have to do, to get buildings to work. The game will force pause when you tab out, which is a pain especially when you play on later maps that require you to wait for land to free up via your gatherer buildings. The goals for each map are roughly the same, very few paths to choose from, little to no variety, harshly crippling the fun of replaying. Notifications will pester you for a long time in big red on your screen even if they are incorrect/outdated (i.e. roads disconnected). Considering you can get a couple hours of fun out of this, I would still recommend the game at a proper discount.

I cannot believe how underappreciated this game is. It's another one of those puzzle games with a simulation/management veneer, where you need to balance resources by planning your space very, very carefully on harder settings. The art direction is one of my favourite things about it, and the sheer diversity in buildings that semi-organically appear in your city is amazing. The feeling of starting out with a tiny village and a couple hundred people and working your way through requirements to grow your city is so much fun. The feeling you get after getting your first 8-storey building is great. The game is not without its flaws. - Some systems are pointless other than for RP purposes; churches, police stations, self-management, sports, all of these do not feed into any victory conditions and seem superfluous. - The recent addition of different "cultures" to play as is fun but some of the bonuses are so broken and make the game so much easier. - I often accidentally lock myself into playing the "path of productivity" (one of the three victory conditions) without meaning to, which forces me to carry on focussing on industry/productivity. Once a path is chosen, you can't go back, and the only way to win is to follow that path. The path of productivity is, for me at least, the one I accidentally default into most times in the early game. - Despite there being so many resources in the game, food is the biggest bottleneck, and it gets really tedious building the same few food buildings and draping the map in farms/orchards. Still though, 100% recommend.

This is a casual building, in other words, it is not exceedingly difficult like the current trend for building games. Having said that the requirements to build larger structures and more isn't a piece of cake either. The game is fun but not exceptional when it comes to building games. Not bad.
