Probably my favorite city builder game. Challenging without being soul-crushing; forces you to make actual hard decisions, often avoiding having options that can be immediately considered the obvious superior choice; makes you feel genuinely really good when you clear a scenario without resorting to fascism.

The game's setting and presentation are top notch as well. It's the sort of steampunk I like, where it remains true to the genre's origins and maintains grounding in its historical context, instead of mining the idea for an aesthetic. The soundtrack is top notch as well; Piotr Musiaɫ's score beautifully captures the game's depiction of the desperation and drive of the human spirit to survive in the face of impossible odds.
