I've posted this before; I hope it's fine if I repeat it:

I really miss these building games that used an isometric grid. TTD, RC Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Sim City, …

Yes, it's less realistic, but it is so pleasant to work with. Everything you build aligns perfectly and if you want, you can neatly fill the entire map.

In comparison, (even with many mods) my Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster creations never look quite right. Building the roads and paths is always awkward and frustrating.

I wish there was more interest in new "simple-grid-based" games.

You may be interested in Parkitect. It's a spiritual successor to RCT that is 3D but still uses a grid.

Yes, I would like to see more games like this!
