City Island 3: Building Sim

City Island 3 builds a virtual archipelago of settlements, balancing homes, jobs and happiness while unlocking buildings and new islands.

Our take

Pick for a casual city-building progression loop.

Decorations, citizen quests and different island settings add goals beyond placing houses.

Keep in mind: It is free-to-play with in-game currencies and construction waiting or speed-up mechanics. The saved evidence does not establish an entirely purchase-free progression path.
