Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic
A hardcore planned-economy city builder with brutal logistics, infrastructure, and production chain detail.
The Game Foundry take
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is the most bluntly realistic city builder on this list — no cute stylization, just a planned economy simulated down to individual truck routes, pipeline pressure, and power-grid load. It rewards players who want Cities: Skylines' scale crossed with Captain of Industry's systems depth, minus any sugar coating. The learning curve is brutal even by this genre's standards, and the presentation is utilitarian rather than pretty, but nothing else simulates infrastructure logistics this seriously.
