SimCity 4 vs Sphere - Flying Cities
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.
Sphere - Flying Cities
Sphere - Flying Cities is a city-building game that’s somewhat similar to Frostpunk except that it has a sci-fi theme, and allows for more exploration. Set in a world devastated by an asteroid, the remnants of humanity has managed to invent an anti-gravity machine which allows them to levitate a chunk of earth’s surface and move that piece of floating island around a world enveloped by debris and other dangers.Unfortunately, Sphere – Flying Cities falls short of what it aspires to be. The bugs and glitches aside, the gameplay here feels slow – very unlike the kind of urgency that Frostpunk offers, and the amount of player control over how many workers to assign to a facility is oddly restrictive for a city-builder. Personally, I would recommend keeping this game on your wishlist first and let the devs work on improving their game.
