@Ian Simcity 4 is an amazing game, but ever since Cities Skylines I can't enjoy a game without freeform roads anymore. It just feels boring and limited to be forced into a grid. It's one of the most played games of my childhood though. Hundreds of hours.
For this current decade (2010s), both SimCity 4 and Cities: Skylines remain the best, plus their modding community is so much active, allowing more freedom to the players on what kind of Cities to build depending on their choice.
@@marcozolo3536 No. Yes it looks much better without mods and is greatly optimised compared to csl and it has many great features, but that doesnt matter since it... isnt really a city building game. I would love for the devs of TF to actually make a city building game though..
bRUh newsflash, neither is CS. At least not in the strict sense. But I agree I would also be excited for TF2 developers to make a fully fledged city builder
@@marcozolo3536 Yes it is. SimCity and Cities Skylines are almost the most typical City building games you can get. Many others shown in the video though aren't, so I guess Transport Fever deserved to be in it as well.
You're wrong I admire your zeal, but city skylines is a city prop manager moreso than a city simulator. There are thousands of people out there using downloadable game assets as place holders for a town they are trying to recreate. Don't get me wrong it serves its purpose well, but it isn't as hardcore a city builder as Simcity. There isn't enough zoning options and the building barely evolves past medium density. I spent hours working on a city only to have it break cities skylines core code and see the city stagnate and stop functioning altogether. Anyways looking forward to a true successor of both franchises
It's interesting to hear all the different sound tracks. That made the feel of each game really stand out hearing them all side by side. I liked the City Life soundtracks the most. It's also interesting to watch the progression of games and then there are a few games thrown in that look like they should have been released 20 years earlier.
Cities: Skylines is still a favorites, which has had quite a few DLC’s to keep it fresh. There was one worthy of note, though it relates more into moving people/goods... Chris Sawyer’s Transport Tycoon.
i like cities skyline because of its graphic and sandbox mode, painting your gorgeus city but not a fan of its simulation and too easy not challenging, the best simulation is still simcity 4 got alof of best scenario challanges and hard to manage.
@@helldronez agreed, but SC4 has its limitation to different types of roads/transportation, hence why I (and many others) call Cities Skylines a city builder, not city simulator. I still also play SC4, but catch myself mesmerized by the traffic flows of Skylines which are like an aquarium screensaver. The Skylines DLCs help to mimic more of SC4’s upgrade mods to plop-able buildings (fire/police/colleges), yet with the next level attempt on Maxis/EA’s SImCity they focused on the lag of the mega-city capability to a multi-city base which did not improve the game experience I was hoping. In Skylines I have the option to have my mega-city AND/OR have multi-cities. We each have reasons why we like/dislike games. Mine leans towards the ability to move people/goods and reduce the queues generated… that’s why I compared it to Transport Tycoon which wasn’t city simulating, and at the very least could qualify as a city builder but without the focus on education/fire/crime.
@@reddtiger1273 didnt expect to get replies this fast from 2 year ago comment lol, simcity 2013 is trash. but simcity 4 with mod is cherry on top, i playing both CSL and SC4.
What was disappointing for me in Skyline was that there was basically no challenge and also no politics that would lead to organic growth of your cities
I literally just looked at this game in my steam library and it made me search for the evolution of city games. I am taking your word for it and installing it. I want to try pre 2010 and pre 2000s games. I love them
City Skylines is the pinnacle of city games because they actually let you have freedom and variety in every game. Also MOD COMPATIBILITY! You can go medieval, modern, futuristic, rural, you name it from the all these factors. City building isn't just about kingdoms and tribes.
Tropico 3! The music and overall silliness made it truly fun and enjoyable. Even back then it wasn't that great of a city builder. But it was sooo much fun!
Yes I also missed Populous, even that I at first only had the game graphics and play in mind. Then I had to go trough the alphabet for starting letter. Some babbling along and then at P I had it.
SimCity 4 and Cities: Skylines definitely top my list of favorites here. The only advantage SC4 still has over CSL is that you can build large metropolitan regions in SC4, whereas CSL restricts you to a map that is just slightly larger than 17 km x 17 km (using the 81 Tiles Mod). The CSL map size is not large enough for a metropolitan area (not to mention building and road limits), but realistic medium-size cities, with free-form roads and highways, are definitely possible. CSL is very resource-intensive as it is, so larger map sizes might be somewhat problematic, unless they could use multiple city tiles (that load separately) like SC4 does. That said, CSL's 3D environment means that portions of adjacent tiles would need to be loaded too, in order to have more realistic landscapes portrayed, so things like smaller buildings just across the boundary, and any skyscrapers and mountains further away in the region, would need to be loaded to make things more realistic.
Another advantage simcity 4 and even 3000 have over skylines is that the music in those two games are absolutely phonomenal, some of the most beautiful music ive ever heard and was even used on TV broadcasts in the 2000s due to the quality of the music, while cities skylines tracks are mediocre or just ok
Auxence Fromont its only like that on android iOS and Steam versions are paid (under $10 so it’s still cheap) and have everything unlocked for you Even android isn’t bad it’s just building packs and tunnels and logging on daliy gets the gems to get said features so it isn’t bad unlike sim city
@@jmurray2018 true. But they really need to make a second game, there is a way bigger potential. Hopefully the devs have gotten a lot more experienced and if they don't use Unity engine, the game can become 10x better.
I love, love LOVE Cities :Skylines. Great game, I play it all the time, the realism of taxes and real life needs for citizens is just beautiful. Would recommend it to anyone who loves strategic, planning games
Sim City 4 was the peek of the genre. The natural progression from there should have been to make the regions more interactive and to bring major companies in with unique buildings as company headquarters or better yet, do away with them entirely and just have that huge map. City Skylines was ok, it just needed room to expand properly. Also you forgot Black and White.
Ahhhh the nostalgia when I saw Caesar III! I had a game pack with that game, a Settlers game (prob Settlers III) and Civilization II in it, which introduced me to games like this! I played so much Civ and Caesar
I Still love Caesar 3, Pharaoh, Zeus, Empire:Middle Kingdom and Settlers 2-4 kind of games... Simcity 4 is great too, and newer Citystates and Ymir are wonderfull. Anno 1404 / 1800 are also good, but i never get fully into games like newer Simcity, Cities XL or Skylines.

Theotown is a mobile Game, that's often overlooked, It was released way back in 2014 and it the first city game I ever played. It's basically Sim City 4 but on Mobile
I think a modern game built off Afterlife would be cool. It's not common at all and builders have literally done everything from sky to sea to different planets. Afterlife buulder is a crazy concept.
This shows how well the Sim City series held up. The original came out in 1989 and SimCity 2000 in 1993. Both these games look as good or better than games that came out much later. Tropico3 is quite a fun game, I haven't played the more recent versions though.
No it was simcity games who revolutionized that genre but cities skylines really did well they included most of the simcity games content and added more which resulted in instant popularity
@@meer9516 wrong again. It's the modding community of cities skylines that revolutionised city builders. The things you can do with mods is insane. Managing traffic on micro level, building vertical cities, creating multifunctional buildings and so so much more. To the wherr you watch 2 different youtubers and it doesnt even look like the same game anymore
Love that you got block’hood, Stonehearth, Theotown, Afterlife and Cliff empire! Those games are great and they don’t get enough love. No A-train? A-train on PS1 got me started on city builders. Thanks so much for making this video. It was a great walk down memory lane.
Cities Skylines is definitely the best city builder that I've played, and I've played them since Simcity 2000. Especially with all the downloadable content and mods, just need to get a faster computer/upgrade now to handle it all. Tropico 6 is fun, really enjoy that. I played the original Constructor game, so I'm interested in Constructor Plus, any good? Other mentionable games, which I guess are classed as transport based, but Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Industry Giant. It would be awesome if new versions of these are brought out. Loved the sound track to Transport Tycoon (geeky I know). I'd like to see a new version of Sim Tower too.
The fact that people prefer the "big ones" over other independent, great city sims, shows that people merely play what the companies can advertise, which saddens me. Workers and Resources is probably the most complex city sim I've ever seen, Foundations is very good, Dawn of Man has a lot of replayability, Ostriv has solid potential, and I could keep saying names here for hours.
I've played Workers and Resources, and Dawn of Man. Dawn of Man does have a lot of replayability. Sadly I'm no good at it, as after a year of playing the same map all my citizens died of starvation, haha. I will agree that Workers and Resources is very complex - to the point where I stopped playing and will need to spend a good half a day learning how it all works when I get back into it. It does look extremely good, though. Still, the "big ones" like Cities: Skylines are big for a reason. They are just fun to play.
@@michaelc3656 of course. Cities: Skylines is a great game, I absolutely love it! But these other games are just as great, although w/o the same level of polish, but they don't get the same visibility. I think people should dedicate at least some time to "steam scavenging" so they can find some great indie games like these ones.
I really liked Aven colony for its simplicity and beautiful backgrounds and the Anno series for its management and production chains. Surviving Mars and Planetbase was a close second on my list =D
currently addicted to theotown. it’s probably a bit lackluster after several level ups but it’s somehow still entertaining to me. and the 8-bit artstyle made me like it
I don't know... I play Cities: Skylines and it looked just as my own gameplay. There is no cinematic in there. My low-end non-gaming laptop can run it, it's massive and challeging, it has wonderful landscapes and freedom. Check gameplay videos if you don't believe me.
Very interesting timelapse. At first, computing power was so tiny that it was impossible to create a rich gameplay but very quickly, to counter the poor graphics visual, they implemented very complex gameplay. And we can see that as we go toward 2010 and 2015, gameplay don't change but visual does and get better. Since 2015, it's complet chaos, we alternate between old school and modern visual graphics, which i personally don't give a fuck about as long as the game is cool, but the gameplay is completely lacking. Developpers don't reinvent themselves and the gameplay, instead of getting richer, is getting more superficial and the only component left is great visual. It's a pity. They try to be original in doing a city builder "without gravity", or on mars, but they do not try to invent a new way of playing city builders. With today's powerful computers, developpers could implement a way more complex simulation of civilisation and city builders. And not only give the player the opportunity to maage every aspect (which is cool but maybe too time-eating), but implement AI which manage automatically some aspects of the game. And where is the multiplayer mode of city building ? The main obstacle is the time we spend building, everyone at their own speed. If more AI assist the player to serve the player's decisions, maybe we could imagine a multiplayer scale city building ? Go fuck yourself with your mobilephone dedicated "city builders" app -_- those sh*ts can't be called game
Kids, when you have a look at the really shitty ones, realize that there where people (me) whose computer couldn't handle the graphics and shut the game down.
@@devyani3933 yeah TheoTown is gold, I just tried it this morning, from the images i see the graphic is pretty bad (pixel) but i just randomly tried it and i realized that graphic is not everything
Tropico 1-6 but my favorite is Tropico 5 and 6 in the series. Anno 1404 is gold! Anno 2070 and Anno 1800 (without DLCs) still haven't played but I have on Epic Games Launcher Settlers 4 still playing sometimes. Banished is also good City Skylines (I don't have the DLCs)

To the wherr you watch 2 different youtubers and it doesnt even look like the same game anymore
I wouldn't say cities skylines revolutionized it, moreso turned it into a glorified traffic manager game and screenshot creator
Love that you got block’hood, Stonehearth, Theotown, Afterlife and Cliff empire! Those games are great and they don’t get enough love. No A-train? A-train on PS1 got me started on city builders. Thanks so much for making this video. It was a great walk down memory lane.
Theotown is mobile garbage, Just pick SimCity 4 apk instead, no need to watch 30 Second ads for some dumb gems.
@@nieildilsonsouza4747why are you mad because you can't mod the game?
OpenTTD is legendary, old, but there were thing that were added in City Skylines not so long ago, like planes.
Cities Skylines is definitely the best city builder that I've played, and I've played them since Simcity 2000. Especially with all the downloadable content and mods, just need to get a faster computer/upgrade now to handle it all.
Tropico 6 is fun, really enjoy that. I played the original Constructor game, so I'm interested in Constructor Plus, any good?
Other mentionable games, which I guess are classed as transport based, but Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Industry Giant. It would be awesome if new versions of these are brought out. Loved the sound track to Transport Tycoon (geeky I know).
I'd like to see a new version of Sim Tower too.
@SNES Nes just pirate the dlcs lol
The fact that people prefer the "big ones" over other independent, great city sims, shows that people merely play what the companies can advertise, which saddens me. Workers and Resources is probably the most complex city sim I've ever seen, Foundations is very good, Dawn of Man has a lot of replayability, Ostriv has solid potential, and I could keep saying names here for hours.
I've played Workers and Resources, and Dawn of Man. Dawn of Man does have a lot of replayability. Sadly I'm no good at it, as after a year of playing the same map all my citizens died of starvation, haha. I will agree that Workers and Resources is very complex - to the point where I stopped playing and will need to spend a good half a day learning how it all works when I get back into it. It does look extremely good, though.
Still, the "big ones" like Cities: Skylines are big for a reason. They are just fun to play.
@@michaelc3656 of course. Cities: Skylines is a great game, I absolutely love it! But these other games are just as great, although w/o the same level of polish, but they don't get the same visibility. I think people should dedicate at least some time to "steam scavenging" so they can find some great indie games like these ones.
"Rise of an Empire, The" That got me good for some reason.
Master of Atlantis: posiden
*shows stronghold*
"Sovjet Republic: Workers & Ressources" is the best, unquestionable.
That thumbnail is a bit misleading about the quality of computer graphics in 1979 ; )
19:35 windows&android&more
I really liked Aven colony for its simplicity and beautiful backgrounds and the Anno series for its management and production chains. Surviving Mars and Planetbase was a close second on my list =D
0:28 we did play this a lot in mid-90s :))
1st place : workers & resources, cities skylines
2nd place : simcity
3rd place: theotown
I've already played Sim City 4, Sim City (2013), Cities XL and Cities: Skyline. My favorite is SC4 and CS.
5:38 That is Stronghold not the Master of Atlantis
Definitely Cities: Skylines with DLCs and mods; assets etc. most sofisticated and complex games
@white shark Worth it.
@white shark Your telling me your not taking what is considered to be one of the best city builders for 10 FUCKING DOLLARS?
@Roko S. All together.
Skylines is simplified in certain respects compared to Simcity though. Better traffic model but alot of the economic aspects are simplified.
14:22 my favorite game
i like how most city builders never realy improved graphicaly from the 80's to early 2000's, and games still come out with that 80's/90's look
PHARAOH
Ah Pharoah & Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile... I must have played hundreds of hours on those. That music totally takes me back.
8:10 Glory of the Roman Empire. This my best game
currently addicted to theotown. it’s probably a bit lackluster after several level ups but it’s somehow still entertaining to me. and the 8-bit artstyle made me like it
I recently started Theotown and I'm loving it so far! Super excited for what's to come
Good for You, i didnt like It much because It has garbage microtransactions, downloaded sim city 4 apk instead.
Workers and Resources is VERY underrated
Wow, you have not forgotten about Startopia.
Good.
You forgot about me!
Citystategame Yes indeed they did.
yep, it seems a very good game.
I build a authoritarian capitalist country that enslave everyone, and they still happy... xD
Such a great game...!
@j theotown is in video
@@indahf.freztiyana824 if you're making them live in a decent place they would be happy
The 2020 games look worse because they use actual gameplay. The 2010 games used tons of CGI and fake gameplay for their trailers 😒
Isn't it supposed to be the other way around
I don't know... I play Cities: Skylines and it looked just as my own gameplay. There is no cinematic in there. My low-end non-gaming laptop can run it, it's massive and challeging, it has wonderful landscapes and freedom. Check gameplay videos if you don't believe me.
im just looking for holiday island evolution..
Narrow japanese style roads would've been nice...and the sidewalks? Why are they always american city building?
i love how game progressingbackwards in gameplay but keep on going in terms of graphic
Let's be clear : SimCity 4 was close to absolute perfection. And still today !
Very interesting timelapse. At first, computing power was so tiny that it was impossible to create a rich gameplay but very quickly, to counter the poor graphics visual, they implemented very complex gameplay. And we can see that as we go toward 2010 and 2015, gameplay don't change but visual does and get better. Since 2015, it's complet chaos, we alternate between old school and modern visual graphics, which i personally don't give a fuck about as long as the game is cool, but the gameplay is completely lacking. Developpers don't reinvent themselves and the gameplay, instead of getting richer, is getting more superficial and the only component left is great visual. It's a pity. They try to be original in doing a city builder "without gravity", or on mars, but they do not try to invent a new way of playing city builders.
With today's powerful computers, developpers could implement a way more complex simulation of civilisation and city builders. And not only give the player the opportunity to maage every aspect (which is cool but maybe too time-eating), but implement AI which manage automatically some aspects of the game.
And where is the multiplayer mode of city building ? The main obstacle is the time we spend building, everyone at their own speed. If more AI assist the player to serve the player's decisions, maybe we could imagine a multiplayer scale city building ?
Go fuck yourself with your mobilephone dedicated "city builders" app -_- those sh*ts can't be called game
Theo Town is actually a very good game, but the graphics are in 8-bit(i think)
Computers get better but not the mind of developers.. so better graphics but no improved gameplay...
Me trying to make a city on scratch:
My expectations: 22:30
The outcome: 0:01
I'm just gonna say: Vote for El Presidente!
I haven't played Tropico in ages!!! And the soundtrack is flawless. It got me into listening to salsa music.
El juego más comunista y caribeño de la historia 😂
El juego más comunista y caribeño de la historia 😂
Love you included Citybound, really hope that project makes it
this was super relaxing
Knights&mercants
Cossacs
Traffic tycoon
Age of empires
Etc
Kids, when you have a look at the really shitty ones, realize that there where people (me) whose computer couldn't handle the graphics and shut the game down.
2:22 THIS CAME FROM SIMTOWN?!
Played utopia on mattell in early 80's.. been loving such games ever since :)
What's depressing is that in mobile games, we play the 90s versions.
TheoTown basically
@@f_azr23_w true.. But it surpasses all the city building games on mobile. Sim City could have been really good. Nonetheless EA destroyed it.
@@devyani3933 yeah TheoTown is gold, I just tried it this morning, from the images i see the graphic is pretty bad (pixel) but i just randomly tried it and i realized that graphic is not everything
5:19 Did Jerry Seinfeld sue Mobility ? Lol
fpsqt 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish they would just make simcity 2013 on a massive scale and not online lol
They made Simcity 2013 offline years ago
They were so close to making it right, yet they fucked it up and it's sad. Atleast cities of tomorrow was good
Tropico 1-6 but my favorite is Tropico 5 and 6 in the series.
Anno 1404 is gold! Anno 2070 and Anno 1800 (without DLCs) still haven't played but I have on Epic Games Launcher
Settlers 4 still playing sometimes.
Banished is also good
City Skylines (I don't have the DLCs)
you can unlock city skylines dlc using steam_api file trick. it's free and safe to use
I love many of these games, the Anno series is so great, but Sim City 3000 was the most fun i had with a city building game
