  • Thank you so much for the mentioning my game Roman Triumph :) As a developer and university student, your support means a lot!
  • @CodeMonkeyUnity
    Really great video, I wish I had the time to play all of these!
  • @drizztcat1
    I hate to say it, but the City Builder category is over saturated. There are just too many good options out there and I haven't even finished up with the games I bought in the last two years.
  • @jolanser
    Thank you for mentioning Lixtoco! Really appreciate it. Hoping to get a demo together sometime next year, as long as real life doesn't get in the way too much xD
  • @fransmith3255
    Workers and Resources - definitely the best and most in depth city builder on Steam. 😀 And one of the very, very few that hasn't bent to include war and combat in a genre that used to be great for those of us who don't want combat. Sadly another genre for us is almost lost. City builders are now almost always combat games...sad... For those of us who want in depth and challenging games, but not combat, this is basically the only decent game on Steam...😢
  • @johnmiller8975
    Great list, got a couple more to add to my list (have many on there already thx to you and others) I have Soviet Republic - very good, very granular. For those who like detail and step stage building you want this one
  • @kissiekat1505
    yea i agree with Kaiserpunk.... sounds very cool! put it on my wishlist thanks for making these upcoming lists!
  • @jessicatimm559
    You are my #1 when I need to find new city or factory game, great list!
  • @TheWhiteStar666
    I'm most hyped for Nova Roma and Manor Lords edit - just played Super Fantasy Kingdom demo, very interesting!
  • let's appreciate the fact that potato puts together such a long list and still managed to upload everyday
  • @supercolonygame
    Looking forward to Banner Lord and Frostpunk. Microvivilizations is a weird one, but I like it. One I think might be missing is These Doomed Isles. I had a fun time with it
  • Tiny Glade... I want it so bad. I need that relaxing game I can play over my coffee in the morning before work. This will be the one I obsess over when I need to introvert. Please please finish soon! ♥
  • Never been so excited to start freezing:) I really need to try Frostpunk again. Metropolis 1998 looks great!
  • @thesettlings
    Thank you champ for including The Settlings! It is a big pleasure to be on your list. Have a great weekned <3
  • I just found my dream game I've been looking for for years, the one I always wondered "why did no one ever thought of that before?", so as usual, you're the best channel for bankrupting me!
  • @Bandit2033
    Orc Warchief, El Dorado, Pagan Age, Mythos, City of Robots, Viking City Builder, etc, etc All those you showed, are pre-rendered trailers that show at BEST only an idea for a game. Things like that, that fake so much to show ideas, they could very well be scams. Heck, I'm pretty certain I've seen a few of those as scam mobile ads before. Try to be careful, you wouldn't want to promote things that could very well be a scam.
