Any suggestions for a good city builder game? (self.games)

I've always been a big fan of the Anno series, pretty much played all of them!

Recently tried the Steamworld Build demo, and it was great. Looking for something to scratch the itch until release though. I've heard Farthest Frontier is good, any opinions on that, or other recommendation?

Have a look at a game called Banished. It's a town builder that felt quite relaxing to play, but had a bit of a survivalist side to it as well.

Rimworld is probably slightly too combat focused, but it's an amazing game and has definite building elements to it as well.

Pure city builder I'd probably go for skylines, though I don't think it's got the kind of trade and resource management that's so important in Anno
