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.
