From 'Islanders' to 'Townscaper,' a handful of titles are designed to soothe your frazzled brain with minimalist, puzzle-like calm.

I am looking for more games like this: though this list seems like a good starting point.

Anybody have any recommendations or experiences with city builders (the less-stressful variety, not like Frostpunk or something haha)

Thanks!

    Have you played any of the modern incarnations of those games perhaps, and if so did you like them? I’ve been looking at Nebuchadnezzar for a while now but could never pull the trigger, seemed always kinda meh

      There’s an open source mod of Caesar 3 called Augustus, adding new features and QOL improvements. I feel equally apprehensive of the remakes, the games have a very specific vibe and I don’t want my fond memories to be tainted hehe.
