Hi CPP - Have you played Against The Storm? Seeing as you like Timberborn (AtS also has beavers lol!) and New Cycle it might really be up your street! The 'roguelike' elements can be tough in it, but provide a really rewarding challenging play style!
The Frostpunk-inspired UI is so well done and improved upon. They took a game I love and did something very cool with it. I LOVE the ability to create curved roads and the different map environments. Someone else mentioned concern about replay-ability, but I look at city builders like this less about 'changing it up' and more about a comfort in predictability. ETA to add: I would love to see more content like this!
I like how you cover other up and coming city builders; keeps me aware of how the genre is evolving. Please keep doing that! Have you ever played Patron by Overseer Games or Farthest Frontier by Crate Entertainment?
I have! I made a video on Patron a while back because I was so excited about it and made one on Farthest Frontier as well (but never released that for some reason). Both are excellent games!
Bro your voice and content is so relaxing, thank you. I'm a person, that needs to read a lot of world news, mostly serious global problems shit, and your contect is such a good way to disconnect from the bullshit, and just chill. Thank you.
Looking at the in game weather and the need for a tavern to keep society going, pretty sure the apocolypse that this game follows takes place in the same universe as ClearWater and Magnolia counties as well as Nicolet Bay. Will Chuckle's nephew make a showing? Time will tell.
I love the fact that you're kind of branching out and playing new games! Don't be shy about being excited for new games!!! Your fans love it! Keep playing and making videos! We'll def keep watching!
Would love to see more of these types of games from you, it's interesting to get a city planning take on these survival games with limited resources and space
I don't mind stories that border on the improbable or even explore it but I do take issue with stories that are based on the impossible and I believe there were other ways to initiate a story in this world and make it engaging beyond, "The sun is dying 6 billion years early...." just my two cents. That said the mechanics of the game are intreresting.
If you watched the stream last week, Planner Duck bought a ton of gifted memberships! Check the community tab for members only stuff (access to all of my saves and early access to videos)
I super enjoyed that video and would be happy to watch any content of this type of game 😁 cities, timberborn, anon or this 👍👍👍 keep it coming I just wish it was daily releases i can't watch enough 🎉
What's the map situation for this like? Is it only the three maps, one for each biome? Does that affect the replayability? Wouldn't mind a second episode of this like you did with Timberborn.
According to some of the steam discussions, they currently only have a single static map. but they engine is fitted for unique procedurally generated maps.
@@darrylbrownstone2553 Close - there are the three with the additional world available outside of your (within the map, since there are regions) and then the one additional world that are adding. The procedural part is right, too. Asked the Dev for more info though and will relay back whatever I find out!
Looks cool. I might get it when it is more developed. I don't like to get early access games most of the time since sometimes the games never leave early access or it takes forever for them to do so.
Totally fair! This one does feel quiet far along - kind of like Timberborn, but I get that. There was a demo in the past and hopefully there will be in the future so folks can try it out.
Love that you check out other city builders / games. Will definitely check out this game when it comes out of early access! Will you be checking out Frostpunk 2 when it comes?
Just love that the spark of a new community just happens to have a city planner to align buildings wonderfully :) I need to make sure I am near one when the apocalypse happens.
This looks fun, also I wish you could give a try to games like Ostriv, more of Ano 1800, maybe Tropico games, and give a try to Workers and Resources Soviet Republic, one of my favorites city builder of this generation, unfortunately it doesn't get the deserved recognition 😔 but it's a great city builder game.
I just picked up Ostriv on Lee Hawkins recommendation and LOVE Tropico and Anno! I really struggled with W&R, but I just keep hearing better and better things. Do you think it's improved much in the last year from a tutorial standpoint?
@@CityPlannerPlays For WRSR, it recently got a campaign, might be a good way to follow things up in the game, also the community is going to help you as you need to learn about things, this game is pretty much the best way for you to make your histories, it will give you lots options for you to plan things out, I think the best way is to give a try and slowly get into it ☺️ the more you play, more things you will learn, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people like me on comments to give you feedback and we can help each other xD
This game has so much potential for a fantastic new series. I think I speak for everyone when I say you should take it on and dominate it like Skylines!
Love seeing you give other city builders a try! I've recently been playing Mini Motorways and thought it might be interesting to see your take on playing a more strategy based game like that as a city planner!
Love that you started a whole new game. Love your videos Keep it up. You are amazing, and we can all tell you love what you do. Please just do one episode Worker and Resources SR in realistic mode. I would really love to see play that game in that style with your feed back on how realistic it is. If you already played it and did not enjoy it, or don't think it would be good for your channel, I'm sure we'll understand. At least I will. LOL
CPP, the amount of credibility it adds to you and your channel by not immediately accepting a sponsorship, but checking it out first, that's something great, unlike the amount of raid shadow legends youtube sponsorships of the past years
I turn down most sponsorships tbh. I've been offered some fairly lucrative ones that I just thought were garbage games and immediately turned them down. So when I take one, I actually dig the game.
I respect that decision fully. And it would be a much easier decision to make if UA-cam isn’t the only source of income you’d make. So I never give hate on anyone that does take the bag and puts an ad in, pays the bills, but denying things you don’t believe in just shines ✨ Hope to see more videos for games like these.
Nice introduction video. I just installed the game. For $35, it easily looks like it's worth trying out. It also looks like a good 'dumbed down' version of Cities Skylines II, which is exactly what my puny brain needs.
Excellent video. You really do show the gameplay well. My only criticism is of the game's color palette. It's a bit drab (almost monochrome), but my comparison is to CS which of course is not meant to be in the same theme/era.
Wow, interesting i have not been getting your notifications i normally did but all of a sudden nothing. Today i get notified of this ill be putting it on my wishlist. I love games likes this, i just love really good city building and i love Anno! You go onto the Hunting portion, but you would think they would also allowing herding so you could maintain a large and reproduction of animals?
Loved the video, would really enjoy seeing more of that game here on the channel even though it probably doesn't generate enough views to be a reqular thing
I have to say, I like it when games have a detailed or "granular" system for customizing difficulty. That lets a player increase challenge incrementally by changing different aspects. It also means that you can raise the overall challenge, but tune down specific aspects that you find less entertaining at higher difficulty. That's a lot more interesting to me than just raising the overall challenge.
Looks awesome. I would have put the tavern on the other side of the shacks so when you built more, they’re in the tavern radius out build further out… in the future
I love games like these, but what is the "end game" for these types of games? It feels like once you played through it once it would be pretty much the same thing every time. Is there any sort of combat or outside barriers that might get in the way of normal game play?
Huh a city builder going into early access to avoid mostly negative steam reviews. What an idea lol ive been really excited for this game!! Thanks for doibg the video on it. Im even more excited now.
Even though it's only in alpha I can see this game being a time sink for sure. It's like the best parts of Farthest Frontier and Factorio all rolled into one. Definitely interested to see how it develops!
Great review. I used to like these kinds of survival builders. I LOVED surviving Mars for example. Thing is, I'm 44 and a super old man gamer now. I much prefer cities skylines because it's a city builder with zero stress. I used to laugh at my old man back when I was young because he played old man games. Zero stress games that he could chill out to. Now I find that after working 60+ hours a week, I am just the same as him. I just want to relax. Lol. That being said, the game looks awesome, and maybe I'll give it a go. I just hope it has a super easy mode. Lol
Id love to see you play Banished, its also a bit of a city builder, available on steam and has a bunch of mods on steam workshop. Its not a new game and has some crashing issues but I've always enjoyed it
Always liked your videos because of the positive vibe. As much as I love Cities Skylines, please check out more city builder games and make reviews, there's a ton of them out there and I am one that is very interested in your take.
@@CityPlannerPlays Since you've already mentioned Frostpunk, I'd just be looking forward if you'll ever checkout the 2nd one coming out soon. Also, The Constructors is kinda interesting, but I've yet to see an actual gameplay and it's also around the corner.
Absolutely loved this video and would love to see you take it further. Is this just a one time visit to this game for the channel? Or will you be doing more videos when you have the chance?
I've got a new city builder obsession, workers and resources soviet republic also sucked me in and now I'm losing sleep over it. Not having a convenient way to bulldoze your buildings or tools like move it really adds an extra layer of challenge. I hope to see WRSR on Phil's channel too.
This looks nice! Lots of resources and things to look out for, might give it a try eventually Would love to see you try Frostpunk too since you mentioned it, and that Frostpunk 2 is close to being released hopefully
First of all. Love your content. You are gunna hate me for this. If you like this game you will LOVE Manor Lords when it comes out in April. Similar to this game but 10 times better.
Frostpunk with a different spin and more depth. Loved Frostpunk, actually can't wait for FP2 to come out. Will give this a go once it comes out as full release. P.S. Love your work, keep it up.
Looks like fun even in its current form. I'm usually not game for Early Access, but this feels pretty solid for a "play now, set aside, play 1 year from now" approach. Thanks for sharing it with us!

City Planner plays city builders, not just Cities: Skylines
I'm here for it! I'll be adding this game to my wishlist.
Yes! Just because the name changed, doesn't mean the intent did!

The curved roads are a fantastic change. I hope every similar builder takes note.
the UI looks VERY cloned from Frostpunk.
@@markcaddy wich is definitely a good thing
The ui also reminded me of victoria 3

@@tvojemanka ah, thats tough then. Good luck with your major !
@@GerarddeBaar Thank you!
I'd watch a story driven series of this!
Looking at the in game weather and the need for a tavern to keep society going, pretty sure the apocolypse that this game follows takes place in the same universe as ClearWater and Magnolia counties as well as Nicolet Bay. Will Chuckle's nephew make a showing? Time will tell.
@@UrbanPanic hahaha, I'm pretty sure it's just Wisconsin in the winter
the games setting of being a post apocalyptic is interesting and it really is beautiful
Completely agree!
This game looks amazing. When it comes out I hope you do a full series!
This looks awesome - I would love to see more of this
Decent chance I stream this one. Tbh, it's one of those games where you end up getting sucked in an accidentally lose 4 hours
Hopefully I can see more episodes about this series. I really enjoyed it
I love the fact that you're kind of branching out and playing new games! Don't be shy about being excited for new games!!! Your fans love it! Keep playing and making videos! We'll def keep watching!

Hope to see a series on this! I liked your gameplay and I want to see more.
I don't mind stories that border on the improbable or even explore it but I do take issue with stories that are based on the impossible and I believe there were other ways to initiate a story in this world and make it engaging beyond, "The sun is dying 6 billion years early...." just my two cents. That said the mechanics of the game are intreresting.
This game is awesome! Would love to see a series of this game!
For some reason I’m a member huh. Not mad but surprised.
Maybe a gifted
Yoooo,I want that also 😢
How come i dun have as well?

Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe I need to put together a second channel with less edited but more frequent releases. I wonder how that'd go over...
i love that no matter what you play, the fires follow you. 🤣
I know this is a sponsor, but it's great to see some diversity on your channel from CS2! Great work! excited for the stream tomorrow!!
Thank you! I enjoyed mixing it up a bit myself! See you tomorrow!!
I hope we can have a series of this ❤❤
Great job Phil. Can't wait to see if you keep posting for this game.
What's the map situation for this like? Is it only the three maps, one for each biome? Does that affect the replayability?
Wouldn't mind a second episode of this like you did with Timberborn.
Given this is a Frost-Punk reskin, I'm guessing we're going to get more scenarios with sandbox ability over time the way FP has.
According to some of the steam discussions, they currently only have a single static map. but they engine is fitted for unique procedurally generated maps.

yeah workers and resources seems to be perfect for his storytelling with how in depth it is and how it is an actual economic simulation.

More builders from you, CPP!
I'd really enjoy your input on this and other games. Maybe that could become a segment/series? 😊
Thanks for doing this intro! Just picked it up based on what I saw in the video...looking forward to more of these!
I think you would love the game Manor Lords, which is going to release in April. Would love to watch your walkthroughs!
well now we need a full series of this game from you
Hopefully we will get to see more of New Cycle on this channel. Also excited to pick it up myself tomorrow.
Would 1000% watch a series with this game. Really hoping that happens!
Really nice change of pace! Seens like a interesting game!

Please continue a series on this. This is starting to turn out as a game I might want to pick up

Yay! Part 2 is a thing. Can’t wait to see it. It is refreshing to see something new. Thank you!
I've always wondered how a city planner might approach the rebuilding of society in the post-apocalypse, this is great!
Nice introduction video. I just installed the game. For $35, it easily looks like it's worth trying out. It also looks like a good 'dumbed down' version of Cities Skylines II, which is exactly what my puny brain needs.
Got my eyes on Manor Lords 👀. Cool series! I'd love to see a small series on the game.

...I may have just finished his myself, haha
@@CityPlannerPlays Haha!
I grew up in New Haven, Michigan. It looked just like this!
"A post apocolyptic worl is not always as pleasant as we want it to be" I died laughing when you said this. LOL
I am on the edge of my chair for this game. Have had it on my wish list for a LOOOOONG time.
These kinds of games are fun to watch but rarely work on a mac so glad to see it!
This looks very interesing, I hope you continue playing, and making videos for this game. :)
This looks like Dawn of Man and Frostpunk combined, I love it!
I have to say, I like it when games have a detailed or "granular" system for customizing difficulty.
That lets a player increase challenge incrementally by changing different aspects. It also means that you can raise the overall challenge, but tune down specific aspects that you find less entertaining at higher difficulty.
That's a lot more interesting to me than just raising the overall challenge.
Looks awesome. I would have put the tavern on the other side of the shacks so when you built more, they’re in the tavern radius out build further out… in the future
Dev giving you a chance to review the game before agreeing to the sponsorship is a good sign. Wishlisting the game.
Completely agree! And they gave me a lot of time to sit on it, lol
This looks like an epic goth version of Settlers and I love what I'm seeing!
I love games like these, but what is the "end game" for these types of games? It feels like once you played through it once it would be pretty much the same thing every time. Is there any sort of combat or outside barriers that might get in the way of normal game play?
oh hello! this is different from you! love it.. love your city skylines content and so great seeing you delve into this area of gaming too.

Hey, Phil! Love the content! Have you tried Against the Storm? One of the best city builders I've played in the last few years, hands down.
I have not, but I just added it to my wishlist! Looks very good!!
Sat on my wishlist for a while this one. Looking forward to release tomorrow
I love it when you highlight different games!
Making the soup I noticed you had 666 water. 6 6 6 the water of the beast! 🤘😂 Wouldn't mind seeing more videos on this game.

This feels like a tutorial at the beginning of a Game, except its 42 minutes long and interesting 😄👍
Really enjoyed your content, i hope you bring more of this game
