Dawnfolk Is A Great New City-Builder (And More Gaming Takes)

There are so many degrees of scope when it comes to the city building format. The genre, that first flourished in the early ‘90s with SimCity 2000 has consistently delivered intricate excellence, with series like Tropico, Frostpunk and Anno, building to the triumph of 2015’s Cities: Skylines.
