I swear i've met some ppl who will call literally ANYTHING 'RYM-core' like I swear what do these people like???? Everything is RYM-core to these people I don't understand what the thought process is, like yeah good albums will be popular and get better scores than an album that is NOT popular and NOT as good, crazy I know
Looking for recommendations for a genre that might not exist. I’ve been reading a lot recently about the large-scale renovations of Major cities in 19th century Europe, like the Hobrecht plan in Berlin or what Haussmann did to Paris, and it has me wondering if there’s any city builder games that do something similar. Most city builders tend to be about building up from nothing, or almost nothing, with maybe some scenarios that start you with a larger, dysfunctional city to fix.
What I’d really like is a game about renovating these larger archaic cities into something more modern. Like, in those scenarios where you start with a dysfunctional city, it’s usually just a matter of making them work the way other cities in the game do. I’m imagining starting with a city that does function, and in some ways making it more dysfunctional to push forward this drive towards industrialization, higher population density, and more deliberate city planning. Are there any games put there like that? I’m not super picky; new or old, indie or AAA, I’m willing to check out whatever’s out there.
