Colony Survival vs SimCity 4
Colony Survival
Colony Survival is a voxel-based town-building simulation game that emphasizes on ensuring the survival (and expansion) of your colony of people, be it by making sure they have enough food to not starve to death or by stationing enough archers around the parameter of your castle walls to repel zombies. Like Minecraft or any sandbox games, you are free to build any base you like (underground, in the sky, or a proper medieval castle with a moat and a drawbridge) as long as you've got the materials (a.k.a. blocks) to go with it and there are various crafting stations which you can build and then assign a worker to just so you can create better and more advanced items.Aside from its infinite, procedurally-generated world, the game also uses an advanced 3D dynamic pathfinding system, allowing you to funnel your people along a specific path simply by having the necessary designs. The same goes for the zombies which usually come out at night to besiege your castle and your sleeping populace. As long as the zombies can't get in and slaughter your people, you can keep expanding your population and your kingdom to whatever size you like!
Colony Survival can even be customized to whatever difficulty you like, depending on how well you think you can best the zombies. So, if you enjoy Minecraft-like games but you also happen to enjoy a "build your own maze", tower defense-like gameplay, then Colony Survival game is definitely for you!
SimCity 4
SimCity 4 is the fourth installment in the SimCity game franchise and it has been touted as the best SimCity game ever. Instead of building your city in one go, you can now build your city part by part and weave them all together into a bustling metropolis. You now have god-like powers as well, allowing you to craft and mold the landscape as you like, or call down huge disasters to terrify your poor Sims. Like the previous games, being their mayor, you'll need to be responsive to your Sims' needs as well, be it a new stadium or more universities. There are multiple scenarios and regions for you to build a city in, so there's plenty of replayability right there.SimCity 4 is a really well-designed game for an excellent game franchise, and if you love complicated and massive city-builders, this old game still stands well today.
