I maintain that city builders, as a genre, are some of the best-looking games on PC. Manor Lords leaps off the screen. Cities Skylines 2 (for its various shortcomings) provides some fantastic vistas.

Rollercoaster Tycoon has it, too, with all those colorful sprites pushed together - all that microscopic life. Created by a single developer, under the label Yesbox Studios, Metropolis 1998 is one of the most beautiful city-building games on Steam. Were still waiting on a full release, but you can try its newly expanded playtest version for free right now.
