Urban Games

Urban Games has made a name for itself in the city-building simulation genre by focusing on realistic transport networks and their impact on urban growth. 'Transport Fever 2' demonstrated their expertise in detailed train and vehicle management, but their expertise extends to crafting comprehensive city-building games that challenge players to optimize logistics and economics. The studio, a team of around 20 developers based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, has consistently prioritized detailed simulations, allowing players to delve into the nuances of resource distribution, passenger flow, and industrial development. Known for actively engaging with their community, Urban Games notably implemented features suggested by players, such as the modular station building system in 'Transport Fever 2' which allowed for greater customization, and balanced economic factors based on player feedback regarding difficulty. Their approach emphasizes creating a living, breathing city where every decision has a ripple effect, appealing to fans of both meticulous planning and emergent gameplay within the broader sandbox games landscape.
