Simcity — 4

You don’t build a city; you build a network of cities. A dirty industrial town pollutes its air and water, but provides jobs for a wealthy residential suburb next door. A rural farming community keeps taxes low, while a dense financial hub requires commuters from miles away. You must balance the region's budget, traffic, and demand across multiple city tiles simultaneously.

And yet.

You own a graphing calculator for fun, enjoy traffic engineering, or want to know why modern city builders feel shallow. Avoid if: You want pretty graphics, a relaxing experience, or to see individual citizens go to work. SimCity 4
