From what I’ve played so far, the greatest achievement of Metropolis 1998, aside from its absolutely gorgeous retro visuals, is how it combines both macro and microcosmic city-builder mechanics. If you want, you can create an entire town in seconds, using intricately designed prefabs for shops, offices, and homes. But you can also create every building piece by piece - you can zoom right in and place walls, furniture, and intricate details, at the most granular level. Visually reminiscent of SimCity and Rollercoaster Tycoon, it nevertheless feels as complex and modern as Cities Skylines 2. You’ve got to try Metropolis 1998. Fortunately, the demo has just been greatly expanded.
