Fully agreed, I want it to make a comeback! - Tom

I wish god games would see a resurgence... They were a uniquely fun, often-hilarious, and genuinely missed genre of gameplay. Populous, Black & White, and Dungeon Keeper were pivotal games in my formative years. Great list, as per the usual!

Yes, the dark and dry humour was always spot on and not something we get much of these days. DK is still one of my go to games for a rainy day. - Tom

This is a real blast from the past and present. I had forgotten completely about Black and White and how much i loved that game. I really wish this genre would make a comeback, it is sorely missed and needed. Brilliant vid guys.

It's strange how Black and White 2 felt more like a city builder, still fun to play though! Although I did really miss the gigantic animals.

"Imagine dungeon keeper in VR" you should check out Underworld Overseer ^^

Black and White was disturbing at some levels. You could slap your god creature around, or pet it so much that it would suck at combatting other god creatures. At times it felt more like a adult game. Add in that the AI was at the most basic of levels, and often i felt it would have been more fun if that god creature came with a joystick. Early game the questing could be broken, up to the point you could get stuck and have to start from scratch, add in that we didn't have the internet back then to google for solutions, let alone that google didn't exist back then, so go figure. As for Spore, that first playthrough you do is magical. That's it. Second playthrough you will be minmaxing it, and you're either nuts about the space stage, or you hate it's guts.

Good to be back!

Check out the Dominions series! You're in for a treat

I still have my DVD copy of Black & White 2. Sadly I couldn't get it to work on a modern system, the last time I tried. Great game.

Dude you forgot Afterlife 1996. You manage the souls of the dead based on their sins or virtues in a sim city isometric style board. The humour was fantastic it didn't take itself seriously at all.

Thank you for the comments as always! - Tom

With regard to the original Reus and this is from the developer directly -"Read before buying / A fair word of warning Hi y'all, I'm one of the developers of Reus. We're super thankful for all the great response Reus has gotten over the past 10 (!) years. If you're a new player, or returning after a while, here's a short explanation about the technical state of Reus. Reus is a 10-year old game, built on the discontinued XNA framework by Microsoft. With Windows constantly updating, and hardware changing, some users are experiencing technical issues with the game that didn't exist before. We've tried to tackle this problem in the past, by porting the game to 'FNA', an open sourced reimplementation of XNA. From the Steam 'Betas' tab, you may select which version works best for you. Sadly, some problems will remain in both versions that we cannot fix".

However, Reus 2 released a few months ago and is imho much better (because it displays information about biomes and synergies better and got rid of the sometimes hectic realtime aspect).

Great video!

Nice list, I'd add one of the Dungeons games, probably Dungeons 3 - seriously underrated IMO.

@LTGamingKZread not easily available these days since EA hasn't gotten around to re-releasING them unfortunately though they where alot of fun in the day but very very hard. good old school dos style early maxis sim games a bit like sim farm and sim ant but much more complex.

Remember playing Sim Earth first year of college. It fit on one 3 1/2" floppy (like another fav from that year, Command HQ)

Spore always struck me as a class in the pseudoscience of "intelligent design" for creationists. There wasn't any real sense of natural selection or evolution.
