Why we picked this?

Building a rich and prosperous city deals with more than just real estate and construction supplies. In Build-a-lot 4, you’ll have to take energy resources into consideration in order to make your city glow. As you make your way through the four big campaigns you’ll be tasked with turning barren land in to a bustling metropolis by erecting houses, towering skyscrapers, shops, and entertainment venues all while taking their energy consumption into consideration. Build too fast and your grid will collapse. Rely on too much of one type of energy and your system will overload. The game includes a total of 68 levels to enjoy.

You enjoy casual city building games, Build-a-lot 4 should be right up your alley. There’s a casual mode for those who just want to enjoy building things up, and the campaign mode will put your skills to the test.

You're not at all into time management games. In other words, even though this is a city building game, the emphasis is on managing energy resources, so it’s definitely not for everyone.
