Skid Cities
Did you ever miss the old simcity series? its complex-algorithm-excellence? its abstract yet satisfying gameloop? Its potential to create a million-city? So did you ever muse about a version of that set out in the future , but not the utopic green energy one per se, also a gritty, dystopic and challenging representation as we can find in the dozen of post-contemporary 80’s sci-fi movies? you know, stuff like Blade runner, total recall, ghost in the shell, .. etc? Neon lights and time-square-exponential… Meet Skid Cities!

This is a rather simple and non intensive city builder with a unique concept of building cities on top of cities or cities under cities if you do so choose to do so. When building up for the first time it can at first be difficult to maintain consistency with each of your floors (considering you need certain buildings in order to raise the cyberpunk system which determines how tall your buildings are), but eventually you will find a nice orderly design that is constant for your industrial, commercial, and residential needs that is consistency no matter how high you go or low. Money is almost never an issue which means you are quite flexible in what to experiment in the design of your city as you build. I should say there are some minor bugs but this is a very new game so that is to be expected. Overall I would recommend this game if you are starting to get into city building games or if you simply have a satisfaction for hiving a city.

Atomic Society
When I first purchased this game, I have to admit, my initial judgement of it was not favorable. The game was slow and plodding as it was so resource intensive. Saving took several minutes, for example. But, as the years passed, the devs overcame these obstacles and created a fairly decent game. To be certain, it isn’t yet completed, but in its current state, it is definitely worth the money. I would recommend getting the game now before it leaves early access as I imagine they will be asking much more for it once completed.

You know that meme with “I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed”?
This pretty much sums up how I feel about “Atomic Society” after 1 day of playing it.
(I can’t ask for a refund anymore, but I would if I could.)
Think at your ordinary city building game. Food buildings for food, water buildings for water, housing… and that’s it. There is nothing post-apocalyptic, no danger, no radiation, no mutants, nothing. You start the game with 35-50 people (depending on the difficulty) + your “custom” character. As you play the game, no matter how bad you do, other people join your city. There is literally an endless line of people on the map, heading to your location. (Ah, and before you ask, I did “finished” it on expert mode.).

Infection Free Zone
“The Mad Virus” has spread throughout the world with the speed of jet planes. The infected are highly aggressive, fast and strong.
In a couple of weeks, society collapsed. Cities are empty. There is no electricity, no water, and no food. Yet, there are a few survivors…
Type in the name of the city or town, download the map and start playing! Thanks to OpenStreetMap’s real-world data you can choose any place in the world for your survivors.
Establish a new “Infection Free Zone” wherever you choose. Set up shelters and production facilities. Adapt existing buildings to new needs. Build new farms and power houses. Establish defenses with walls, gates and towers.
Utilize your knowledge of the city. What is the best place to defend? Where were the grocery stores, where were the pharmacies? Where would you look for weapons?
Remember that it’s dangerous to search the old buildings, there might be some infected lurking in the dark!
Each night your settlement might be attacked by large hordes of the infected. Fight them off with every tool available - melee and ranged weapons, vehicles, walls and light. Research a vaccine or a cure for ultimate victory, or just enjoy rebuilding entire cities!
Your Zone is not the only one that exists. Your survivors will surely find other surviving groups. Some will be friendly and willing to trade, but others will be extremely hostile. There might be some fighting involved!

Sphere - Flying Cities
Ok, so let me preface this review by saying that I am only giving it a thumbs up because I want the game to succeed, and it looks like the devs are listening to feedback. For example, there was a patch on day 2 to address a complaint that most people had (not a bug fix, but a mechanic change). There is a foundation for what could be a really fun game, and a different take on the genre; at least I have yet to play anything exactly like it. As others have said, it does give off Frostpunk vibes, and I think it feels a little like Surviving Mars as well; both of which are games I really enjoy.

Updated 16/10
Ive left my original somewhat negative review below, but after a significant developer update today, thought id jump back in and my what a difference a few days makes. Almost all the original issues have been resolved making this a good fun solid game. Wonderful to see that a large amount of work appears to have gone into resolving the initial round of issues. I cant find any major issues at this point now, and have changed my review to recommend and now believe you can play and have fun for a considerable time. Minor issues to tweak dont affect much and Road map forward looks interesting indeed. Hats off to the developers on this one.
