    The #1 city was built in 1960, and has been growing every year since, Potatograd.
    You get food, 1 radio station, child care (up to 6 years,) a 22 hour/day job, and heat at least 35% of the time in winter.
    That's why Potatograd, lead by Comrade-Dictator Potato, is the #1 city built game. Thank you, Comrade.
    Please bring back the Workers & Resources series. Thank you, Comrade.

    Workers and Resources, I have it. But the UI remains so unfreindly for anyone with less than perfect eyesight, and there was never any response to my requests/comments on this aspect.
    Manor Lords, only partly a town builder. More so a fighting simulator.
    No mention of Ostriv. That I am delighted to suggest is the greatest town builder that I have ever played. Oh and with a Dev, who in spite of being in a war zone, still manages to respond to bugs that we find, mostly within a day, whilst still adding new features regularly. Ostriv is about creating your 1700s town in the Kharkiv region, and if you are careful you can build it into a super complex city.

    Nice list. Surprisingly I have the first 3 in my library, but Soviet Republic really has a ridiculous learning curve. I'm loving it, but mistakes abound :D. I was wondering where Captain of Industry was lol, but I see that was released in 2022 :O. Happy holidays Potato!

      The mistakes in W&S come from the game not being polished... the tooltips are just garbage, because a lot of infos the players need aren't in the tooltips.

    although workers and resources can improve a lot in terms of ui and how the game teaches you how to play it, it is by far, the best city building experience I ever had in many years (realistic mode is so good)

    Be warned, Workers and Ressources is full of bugs, glitches and issues, be it crashes and freezes, totally weird and wrong translations or just glitches like you transport your workers to your factories, but never back (I assume they teleport back home). I've bought it in early access and it feels like still being early alpha.

    • @orbitalpotato
      @orbitalpotato  Місяць тому

      I must say, the last time I played that wasn’t my experience. I think the transportation of workers to factories (but not back) is intended as far as I know!

    What up with you keep recommending mixed received games like Frostpunk 2? Almost nobody that loved the first one likes the second . Are they sponsors of the channel?
    Also Fabledom is abonded right after release with some game breaking bugs left

    • @Gigusx
      @Gigusx Місяць тому

      Frostpunk 2 isn't "mixed received", it's close to 80% and consistently increasing. Reception of the game by hardcore fans of the first one that was bound to be more critical isn't a good reason to not recommend it.

    • @Bambeakz
      @Bambeakz Місяць тому

      @@Gigusx Alright I see it is climbing/finding new fans but read the positive reviews to discover it would be mostly neutral reviews if that was possible. It lacks too much what made the first game great.
      I was pretty hyped about 2 but I would recommend 1 over 2 all day and so would my gaming friends. Glad I got it trough Gamepass.

      1) My views are subjective, just like yours. I loved Frostpunk 2, not everyone did and that’s totally ok!
      2) As to the bugs, I can’t speak to that, I didn’t encounter many when I played but that’s different for everyone.
