3. Cities: Skylines

This game by developer Colossal Order lets players build a city and play mayor, and is certainly a treat for those who love urban planning, management and all-round complicated gameplay. And in Cities: Skylines even laying down roads is a complex mini-game in itself, as poor road planning will later lead to an inefficient city with garbage collection (and even dead body removal!) issues…

It is also necessary to add plumbing and keep an eye on the city’s power grid, as forgetting to add that extra power plant might lead to power shortages and one angry, discontented populace. But of course, running the city isn’t just about monitoring road traffic, or choosing the right spot to build schools and opera houses, it is also about managing the economic side of things. And it is even possible to divide the city into districts and tax each one independently, in what is no doubt one of the most complicated simulation games made to date.
