What players say
it is a very expansive game with tons of content! if you like games that a re city builders and take a while, this is your game
A puzzle game disguised as a city builder. A hidden gem for those who like resource management and layout optimization. Can run on a potato PC.
Urbek City Builder feels like Minecraft combined with SimCity, which sounds great, but it ends up feeling way too limited. There just isn't enough to do, and after a while it gets repetitive. I wanted more freedom, more things to build, and more depth.
