In recent years, developers have been able to create some of the most realistic world-building simulators we have ever seen - and thanks to the addition of community-created mods and unique new mechanics, the world-building genre has seen a huge increase in popularity. Whether you enjoy planning roads and traffic patterns or simply trying to manage a city's economy, there is a world-building game out there for you.
The world-building genre first began in 1989 with the release of SimCity. And since then the genre has continued to expand its library of games each and every year.
