    Sim City 4 is the best version of the Sim City games, and is 75% off on GOG right now, $5 / £4.

    Cities Skylines 1 is the best modern city builder, 3D and a lot of fun plus well designed. But only really worth it when it’s on sale; lots of DLC and overpriced as a package when not on sale. Avoid Cities Skylines 2 - it’s just not fun and hasn’t been fixed - maybe they will one day fix but I doubt it 2.5 years in…

      Imagine what Cities Skylines could have been without Paradox’s super monetization plan

      The original developer has literally been pulled off of Cities Skylines 2. Maybe the little developer that Paradox put on it to crank out DLCs will do a good job and fix it, but I doubt it.

      And don’t forget the Network Addon Mod for Sim City 4. Improves traffic simulation and adds a whole bunch of new sorts of transportation stuff. It’s really the expansion pack Sim City 4 never had.
