A traffic jam prevented my workers from reaching the oil power plant that supplied electricity to the entire city. Without power, heating plants also stopped working. My entire city was left with no power and heat in the middle of the winter and everyone died. 11/10 I highly recommend

If you bought Cities Skylines 2 and were incredibly disappointed, I encourage you to read this review, as someone who has 2k+ hours on CS1, and plenty of hours on other various sim titles. Let's get a few things out of the way, firstly, no, this is not a standard city building game. No beautiful modern skyscrapers, or fancy road network construction, but that's okay, because those are about the only two features CS would have over this game other than a better UI which isn't really a dealbreaker. Now, this is, without a doubt, the most complex, and in-depth city building game I have ever seen. I was downright impressed at the level of detail the simulation goes into, things that Colossal Order barely implemented in CS are fully realized here. Things that I never considered being something to manage, you are challenged with here. A few highlight reel points that would entice any seasoned CS player. -You want a transit focused city? Literally, do not allow people to buy cars. That's a thing here. There's car dealerships, and in order to fill your cities up with traffic, you CHOOSE how many cars to sell to your people. And because this is all about communism, you can even control who gets to park where, or who gets to own a car at all, you can literally decide if only the elderly or only the young should drive, if only the educated or uneducated get to drive. The control you have over transportation in this game is second only to the late great Transport Tycoon. -And that being a mention, those familiar with TTD will feel right at home, much of the vehicle mechanics work the same, having a vehicle depot to deploy vehicles, and various "load/unload" stations that act as connection points for your logistics. But to have that level of complexity, tied into a real city builder. Is what makes it so impressive in this game. -Those unfamiliar with TTD. Annoyed that garbage trucks seem to only work sometimes? Make your own routes to a T, if one building produces more garbage, you can dedicate specific vehicles to perform specific routes. If certain routes are light, you can put a lower upkeep vehicle on that route. All traffic on the road is controlled ENTIRELY by you, not a single vehicle drives without your command. And that means no more "0/25 vehicles working" in a city that is requesting all 25 vehicles. -You can completely edit intersections like in TM:PE mod for CS, edit timing of traffic lights, road restrictions, etc. It's a shame the road construction in this game is so clunky because the tools they give you for the roads are incredible. -You wanna talk about a game feeling alive? Like each "cim" has a real existence? This game gives each citizen a stat page, which includes the usual stuff, name, home, workplace, but you can see their commute, how long it takes, you can see how long their work shift is, and track their quitting time. You can also see their health stats and how they feel. -The industry part of this game is overwhelming, it's basically a mini factorio but people are required to work the smelters and assemblers. No you aren't battling out a hierarchy of item crafting, but trying to think out how this factory will work with your city is an incredible task to consider, and very cool as well. Blows CS "industry" out of the water. -Map size is incredible, random map gen with control over how its generated as well as some handcrafted maps -Workshop mods I could go on and on, but really, I cannot stress this enough. I was practically speechless while going through some of the menus and aspects of this game. The level of complex detail the developer has put into this game, shows this product is an absolute labor of love. No, it's not a fancy AAA title, with a sleek and clean UI. But that's okay, because through the clunkiness you can sense it, the game has a soul. The simulation in this game is simply, the best in the business. No other city builder comes close, not a single one. You can crank up the challenge and difficulty so high, that you need to build a construction office, and purchase asphalt rollers and various construction vehicles, and then you need to import the materials, or if you are making them at one of your factories, you truck them to the construction site, and what's all this for? Oh yeah, IT'S HOW YOU BUILD A ROAD!!! On "realistic" difficulty!! Or you can ignore all of that, turn the difficulty down, and just build a nice city and focus on traffic management and happiness. In this game, the choice is actually yours to how complex you want it, from not managing any resources or utilites, all the way up to, every single structure requiring materials, construction offices, and man labor hours to build it, from buildings to roads to conveyor belts. Incredible. 10/10 sim game, a real 10/10 I will easily put thousands of hours on this game over the next coming years, will easily surpass CS:2

This game is for people of systems. It is as addictive as Factorio really, and as enjoyable as Transport Fever. But God save you if you let the "City Builder" tag fool you in a false sence of security - it has almost nothing in common with any of Simcity games, and only surface similarity to Cities Skyline series. WRSR is deeper, MUCH DEEPER. I'm not talking about comlexity, though game does have it in drowes, to the point when Cities Skylines would seem too shallow, forever unable to scratch the newfound itch, you never thought you have. I'm talking about your worldview. No, you will not suddenly become a communist, nor the game make you prone to the socialist thought. It will not move your political allignment one inch. But game WILL make you appreciate all your everyday life conveniences. You will see - buses around you are not going on their own, tap water didn't made itself available for you by some kind of a magic spell, elecrticity is not something made who-knows-where, constantly available and convenient just because. These things are the product of systems. In fact - you are too. Game lets you make some of those, tinker with them, and try yourself as the system architect and engineer. Your reward here is not the numbers on the Republic's bank account (game will make you understand - money is meaningless, while labor is not), your reward is beatifully functioning Republic, self-sufficient or not. My personal experiece with WRSR is quite similar to the bonsai-tree growing, or trainset building. At this point it's meditative, relaxing and even creative hobby of mine. Through 5 years I've spent far more time on it than I care to admit. Most remarkable thing about WRSR for me - It made me genuinly interested in the soviet city planning. I was born in Siberia, in the town of oil workers right at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse. The town itself was constructed in the middle of nowhere among wast Vasyugan marshes near Ob river. Our parents all were at the mercy of town's oil industry - but town itself was only the sleep-place, while nearest oil rig needed to be reached by a helicopter (due to endless marshes and overall lack of infrastructure). The place wasn't exactly small (47k residents in its peak), but nevetheless peculiar, young both by average age of its inhabitants, and by itself (being founded in the 1966). It've always seemed like an island of sorts, both connected to the rest of the country with oil pipes and things, and nevertheless isolated. Quite strange feeling, I wasn't able to really put my thumb on it. And now, with the help of WRSR, I DO understand how and why the place was the way it is. Look for Strezhevoy on wiki, if you interested. Buy it, play it. 10/10

Coming from a City skylines refugee this game is great in so many different ways. Pro's -The personality of W.R.S.R is strong with the main theme of communism being a key point in this city builder. (approved by the K.G.B) -The Production lines in W.R.S.R is well thought out (except the coal bricks) with it being actually important than in City Skylines. -If you play city skylines and want to switch then this games is a lot more optimized for any computer :) -Traffic Management is considerably easier in my opinion since every citizen doesn't automatically spawn with a car. -The music in this game is well done with a mix of soviet choir, folk and even techno, all of which fit in. -A single factory actually feels impactful unlike other city builders with them needed to be occupied by hundreds of employee's and producing an overwhelming amount of resource's. -The BEST mechanic is definitely the secret police who are attractive, good people with loyalty to socialism and nikita kruchtev/breshnev/gorbachov :). (approved by the K.G.B) Inbetween -So since the game takes place within the U.S.S.R which had a command economy that means the game is alot more manual than other city builders which will be better for some players than others. -The water sewage and electricity mechanics is more complex than in other city builders which will yet again be good or bad for some players. Cons (western propaganda) -It seems like citizens cant understand going from to Public transport -> Public transport -> to work so the AI may need some tweaking. -Whenever a vehicle go's behind a slow vehicle they crawl to as stop instantly distrupting all traffic instead of slowing down earlier. -Theres not many road options just only really get 2 lane at a time and tram/trolley bus roads. - TBH i dont want to type the rest of my nitpicks valid cons -money exists >:( dam crapitalists GLORY TO THE USSR AND HAVE A SAFE TRIP COMRADE

This has ruined other City Builder games for me. Excellent job depicting real life vehicles, buildings, and places. The developers have clearly put a lot of passion and effort into this game. Don’t skip the tutorial.
