I played a lot of Pharaoh by Impressions Games as a kid, and while horribly sucking at it, the game was a lot of fun. Having played a fair few city builders and being not satisfied with them one way or another; Songs of Syx scratches the same itch those Impressions Games city builders did.

It has a bit of an initial learning curve but is a very engaging and rewarding game to play. New challenges arise as you scale up in population and incorporate more resources into your city. It's still a WIP so some mechanics are half-cooked but it's still a very enjoyable experience that will only get better with time.
