City sim games have experienced a challenging period since the disappointing fall of SimCity in 2013. However, 2024 has seen a resurgence of the genre with the release of Cities: Skylines 2, which, despite a rocky start, has found its footing. Manor Lords has become the most wishlisted game on Steam, and the highly anticipated Frostpunk 2 is generating considerable excitement among fans.
Now, a new city sim that has been in development for approximately five years has been released to stellar reviews, earning a 9/10 rating on Steam. The game, created by developer 3DIVISION and published by Hooded Horse (the same company behind Manor Lords), marks their second major hit within a month.
That game, Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, is a city sim set within the Soviet Union, offering its own unique twist on the genre. The game itself is notably more hardcore than Cities: Skylines 2, featuring more intricate systems for transport, economy, resources, and even international trade.
As mentioned, the game has been released to near-perfect reviews, boasting a 9/10 rating on Steam based on nearly 15,000 reviews—a remarkable achievement. While it may not reach the same level of mainstream popularity as Cities: Skylines 2, it’s likely that Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic I have no doubt that it will be able to carve out its own dedicated niche within the city sim community.
