Urbek City Builder Reviews

Great, relaxing city-building game. Probably not as deep as your classic like C:S but it holds up well, with some actually deep mechanics.

A delightful city-builder at a great price point. Far more content and mechanics than you'd expect for something that inexpensive.

Combing a puzzle game with a city builder is an interesting mix. Learning how different building pair well with each other was a rewarding experience. The different paths to victory makes the game interesting and staves of the repetition I feel with some other city/base builders. Great game overall.

The road requirements are to strict. I understand the fact that buildings don't work without roads. What I don't understand is why I can't place a building down first and then build the road to it. Other than that I just don't have fun in this game. It's not fun.

Its a puzzle/city builder and gets you scratching your head after a while. Good fun. I played it during my night shifts.

The problem with this game is when you run into multiple shortages. If you don't have enough food and workers or wood for houses its game over. Also having to place houses near houses in order to upgrade a house seems like a bad system because there will always be a house that can't get enough unless you only spam houses. I like the game but this has ruined a couple of my playthroughs.

I have been longing for a laid-back city building game since Holiday Island in '99. This is one of the most relaxed and yet still be able to pursue certain unlocks that sometimes puzzling. This might not serves you with graphics like Cities Skylines, but certainly did a good job to make you stare at it for hours. I just hope there would be more updates from the developer for the in-game, or growing community of modders to add more items and features.

This is the perfect relaxing city builder. There's enough going on to keep you entertained with out asking you to micro manage a dozen different things. You can just let your city run for a bit without all the plates coming crashing down.

This is not a city building game like you would expect with Sim City o Cities Skylines or even TTD. It's not about setting up zones and watching them grow, it's about hand-plopping buildings that will eventually improve as long as they meet certain requirements and have the right combination of neighboring tiles around them. It is very micro heavy while at the same time removing all money restrictions or friction related to the planning and building aspects of growing your citiy. As a result, this feels more like a puzzle game about what pieces to put where than the actual resource balancing I would expect from a city builder, even the more plop-heavy ones like Pharaoh or Banished. You might like it. I didn't.

Well I put a positive review because the game is fine, but for me it's not really a city builder. I asked a refund because it's not for me. I see this as a little puzzle game where you have to place buildings to create synergy to develop differents biomes. Construction is intantaneous, and destroy existing buildings cost nothing, there is no transport or traffic to manage.
