“I thought about this one a lot. I've put in about a hundred hours now and I've done/seen all this game has to offer so I'll put in my two cents: First off, this game as a concept is perfect. I absolutely adore this game…”
“I've had to delete this game several times to focus on work. That tells you everything. If you're coming here from something like CS2, this game is unbelievably difficult. It is a command economy, and you very much have…”
“Great game, love the resource management, factory building and supply chains/logistics. This is paired with a pretty atrocious UI and QoL options, the gameplay itself is good enough to forgive these. Realistic mode is…”

“This is already my favorite game of the year and I'm not even done with the second campaign yet. Its complexity gives the game a pretty steep learning curve but the campaigns (at least as far as I've played them…”
“Best City planner game I know of with deep logistics gameplay mechanics - just the way I like it. Unfortunately the game does suffer from technical debt and, from what I have heard, an inflexible underlying game engine.…”

“First time i played it many many years ago, bough it yesterday and loads of content has been added but game is still a confusing mess. Building placement, road building, citi management, confusing menu... Ive lost…”
“This game will have you spending hours building levels upon levels of supply chains and leave you happier for it.”

“This is a fun world builder where I have had an amazing time creating interesting cities and trying to complete the achievements.”
“I have over 1300 hours in this game. This is an absolute masterpiece of a city builder. I can't go back to any other without missing this one. It took me about 200 hours to think I was getting the hang of the game but I…”
“My dear comrades, admittedly, it's a tough job to write a review for a game like Workers & Resources. With my current 230 ingame hours, I can barely count myself as a fan of this game compared to the literal thousands…”

“I have just started my first realistic run. But "just" I mean weeks ago and it just seems like there is endless goals to work towards. What an incredible game, I have played every city builder/Civ sim you can think of…”
“as my hours show, i love this game! a near perfect city builder with soviet/easturn bloc vibes.”
“Lots of thought went into even all of the historical research behind many of the assets in game. To also create a challenging city builder is a testament to the devs hardwork in the game.”

“This is an awesome game, but trains are the absolute worst. Want to run one way tracks? That's easy, there are signals for that. They'll turn red if the track is blocked ahead. What's that? They're all red for…”
“Best and most detailed city builder I've ever played. Not the most intuitve but incredibly satisfying once you "get it". Can't wait to see what comes next!”

“I love this game, but I love this game for what it could be, not what it is. I've played 200 hours, and I wish there was an option for "maybe recommend" because there's a few caveats that I would want people to know.…”

“One thing, incase of a disaster strikes, like a nuclear disaster or earthquake, it would be great if your citizens/comrades could evacuate to a different part what isnt affected.”
“Probably the most unique city builder I've seen. Unlike games, such as Cities: Skylines and the such, this game is all about logistics, logistics, logistics. How does resource A get to factory B? How do people from a…”

“I've been playing for a few hours, which means I've finally figured out how to pave a dirt road without accidentally bankrupting the entire republic. It's a game where "a few hours" is basically the blink of an eye, but I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of this game. I'll…”

Restart again and again because you made this little mistake in planning that keeps piling problems like a snowball on a steep hill. Do…”
