Recently tried the Steamworld Build demo, and it was great. Looking for something to scratch the itch until release though. I've heard Farthest Frontier is good, any opinions on that, or other recommendation?

Tropico 4 definitely had some instability problems with regards to traffic.

Because Tropico 4's traffic was somewhat realistically modeled, you'd grow and grow until your roads got congested, and then your entire island collapses economically (and you'll likely be deposed as a leader, or piss off the Americans / Soviets enough that they invade and you lose since your politics with them likely relied upon trade deals that you're failing). And unlike Cities: Skylines (or Tropico 5/6), there weren't as many options for fixing (or preventing) traffic problems.

But if we ignore the traffic problems with very-late state islands, Tropico 4 is probably my favorite too.
