Poll of the Day > Are Simcity and Rollercoaster Tycoon good relaxing games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've made a few purchases on GOG: Deus Ex (Both of them), Turok 1 and 2, FEAR 1 and 2, Thief 1-3.

The only thing I feel is missing are games where I can go at my own pace and just kinda relax. Are Rollercoaster Tycoon and Simcity good for this?

I might start with them, then maybe Dungeon Keeper, Stronghold, Tropico and Kerbal Space Program might be worth getting eventually?

RCT can be relaxing, yes. sim city...sure though most of the time you could, or well, i would, be in the red mad ya know.

but rct, yeah because makin' money in that game is time, not effort.

Lol that makes sense. I just bought the series for all games, so, I have Simcity 2000-Simcity 4 and RCT 1-3. I think I'll start playing RCT 1 if I need a break from the action games.

Another one that looks interesting is "The Guild" series. I added that to my wishlist along with Stronghold, Kerbal Space Program, Tropico, etc.

I highly recommend Cities: Skylines over the SimCitys.

Ah, it's so good.

On a similar note, Planet Coaster is supposedly the spiritual successor to RollerCoaster Tycoon. I haven't tried it though, so take that with a grain of salt.

I have a hard refuse towards any RCT game that is 3d, it's probably wrong, but it's ingrained in my brain now.

Tropico

Tropico is fun!

Also, I think RCT can be a relaxing game. As long as you're not trying super hard to max your profits to the max amount.

I haven't played much Simcity games.

I started RCT 1.

There are objectives to complete by a certain period so I can unlock stuff. I just hope they aren't too difficult to achieve, lol.

ah, uh, I should have said RCT2 is vastly better than 1 and is probably the best place to start.

I see. What about 3? Was it better than both of them?

I think 2 is widely considered to be the best RCT game. 3 isn't that bad but that varies from person to person.
