Citybound sounds pretty interesting, hopefully it will turn out good, otherwise Banished might be the best single player city builder game lol

Is it?

Don't get me wrong, I haven't played the game and I haven't seen a review saying that it is a bad game, but what I have read is that while the simulation is very good, it lacks the ability to make you care for the inhabitants. It's just a game to build buildings, not to create cities.

Ehh idk because for example in one of my play sessions, my citizens started to starve to death and I started to panic and build multiple sources of food, but they still died anyway and I felt bad for not providing enough food. It may just be me, but I feel as though the game does a decent job of making you care a little.

I see.

This review sums pretty much the feeling of other reviews I've seen around

Still, I may give it a chance during the Steam Sales...

 

@DirectX12: I've read that it may come with Mantle like features, which would be very good if true. Unfortunately, it's MSoft so it will be Win 8.1 or even Win 9 only :-/
