Any discussion about city builders without discussing Cities:Skylines is crucially out-of-date. The game set a new, extremely high standard for the genre.  Each denizen has a family, a career and travels around the city as an autonomous entity fulfilling his day to day errands. The consequences, especially on traffic, is a fascinating thing to comprehend.<p>Where the latest Simcity was a low quality sham, Cities:Skylines was a wonderfully put together game that anyone interest in the genre needs to play.
