Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic

It's a cool game with a lot to it. If you think you might like it, and you enjoy the process of learning complex games, you probably will. That being said, there are a few major problems: - Details of the games systems are often poorly documented, requiring trial and error or reading through pages of internet arguments to learn. If you're playing in realistic mode (and you should) then spending years building a thing just to find out you didn't understand a quirk of some system and none of it has any hope of work can get tiring pretty quickly - It is often quite janky. Usability/quality of life features are among the worst of any game I've played in similar genres. I find this really important for games you're going to sink hundreds of hours into to get really deep in the systems. - The agent system is very simplistic. You have to shunt people around like resources. As a public transit nerd, it makes the city building side feel pretty hollow. - It uses undisclosed AI art. Frankly it ...

Very Fun and Solid game BUT before you buy keep in mind that this is not Cities Skyline this is on a much smaller scale and is significantly more in-depth and Detailed Although I would warn people considering buying this game a couple things 1. DLC Pricing, Most DLC realeses (Specifically early Start) have a significant lack of content for its price 2. Civillian Timers, Civillians cannot be transported all day, and due to this they have timers on how long they can be on a vehicle unfortanetly this clock is indpendent of In-game time 3. Despite this game Being fully Released I would not go into it excpecting Full Realse Potential, The base game feels rushed and sees a Lack of Content and still needs many Aspects to be Fixed However I would Recommend this Game, Mainly due to the Modding community on the Workshop a large sum of High-Quality Mod's And even though I say alot bad about this game, That dosen't mean its Unplayable It is still a fun game But take into Consed...

I really enjoy city-building games, but Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic ended up being a bit too much for me. The concept is great, and I appreciate the ambition, but there are just too many little details required to get even one thing to work properly. Instead of feeling rewarding, it often feels like a chore just to make basic systems function. For someone who likes a smoother flow in city-builders, the level of micromanagement here kind of ruins the fun.

for the love of god stop throwing my camera around the map and let me fucking read . If I am trying to look around the map to map out a good place for my city/cites to have access to materials and the buildings required Which by design can only work in very specific places around the map. I do not need the tutorial to throttle me around the screen just because I want to take my fucking time. Music is Great i love it Side note if you could add a way to mark the map so i could set up blueprints or at least an idea of were I want to go kind of like city skylines before I actually do it that would be great unless it's already in the game.

So to play the actual campaign I MUST finish the tutorial, which 5 hours in I still haven't completed, since the game is EXTREMELY slow even on the "fast" setting (eg. sit around for half an hour just to reasearch one tech.) Who comes up with this sh*t?

While it's not for the OCD builder in your life, the complexity and customizable structure of the game makes it great for a time killer. I've spent many an hour designing a city and its ecosystem and always come back for more.

WRSR gives you all. If you come from Cities Skylines start with [i]Easy[/i] or [i]Normal[/i]. When it gets boring try [b]Realistic[/b]. Your republic will die out come first winter with population. Try again, now with a heating plant. Now your population may survive the first winter but don't worry pollution will kill it. Try again, now you have a heating plant, working sewage disposal, your trash gets collected mostly on time, but don't worry you've only just stopped bleeding from the largest wounds, next come crime, happiness, loyalty, low education, shortages, your sole shop burns down or some other thing that will kill you. Then finally you cover all these bases, population can work, live, get stable food, education and healthcare but wait where did all the money go? You're still importing electricity and other things. You got it - everybody dies again. Then you discover that you should spend those pesky dollars you have, you can buy a lot with them, and when those run out you ...

It took me literally years to get into this game, but now that I have, I can't stop playing it. I initially thought it was a pretty standard city/industry builder with a gimmicky twist, but it is so much more than that. It's really almost overwhelming once you get to the "real" game. So, what this is is actually a massively in-depth simulation of industrial supply chains and the population that supports them. You really are doing full country-building here. The game is massive, and simulates pretty much every part of industrial-era life that I can think of, sometimes to an annoyingly detailed degree. That can make it very frustrating when you get things wrong - and you will - but oh so satisfying when you get them right. When I first installed it, I went through some of the tutorials and even there, I know I got stuck on something I couldn't seem to figure out... something like resources not transferring from a warehouse to a factory and I could not get it to work no matter what ...

its pure fun and frustration at the same time, i recommend

Game is good again - there were quite few problems after early start dlc launch, but by now they are fixed. And early start dlc was inproved with new buildings and vehicles, so it is worth buing now.
