Overview
Description

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.

In Skyscraper Simulator you start with modest multi‑storey town houses and work your way up to constructing iconic skyscrapers for the elite. Plan each project, source materials, and direct workers to complete contracts within tight deadlines. As you progress you unlock new tools, machines, and experience points, allowing you to tackle ever‑higher challenges and chase high scores, all from a single‑player experience on PC.
