Were there any city builders fully released in 2024? Is this a matter of an EA title being chosen because there are no non-EA titles?

This is what I was wondering. Was the genre that quiet this year? Manor Lords isn't just early access, it's early early access. So many outright unfinished systems.

I can’t think of a single city builder released this year that isn’t in EA.

Frostpunk 2 released and is pretty solid. Maybe not for everyone but it's a full title release I believe

Ah yeah that’s a good catch. It is a solid game and should have won.

There’s a Soviet city builder that fully launched in the last few months
