Summary

Create and manage your own city without restrictions. Offering a deep simulation and a living economy, Cities: Skylines II will challenge your decision-making skills and allow you to build the cities of your dreams. Get ready for a new epic scale in the most realistic city builder - ever.

Cities: Skylines 2 is not the best game in the lineage of Will Wright's original 1989 classic. The champion is still the original Cities: Skylines, at least for now. If Skylines 2 gets the same incredible post-launch support and additional paid and free content as its predecessor, and if the modding community is allowed to thrive, I think this sequel might come out ahead in the long run. There are so many enjoyable new systems and exciting additions, sadly encased in an awful-looking block of concrete that gets in the way of how much I know I could be loving them. It makes too many promises of realism that its most basic features like zoning can't deliver on. It feels like playing a beta, or a very early Early Access game. Frankly, Skylines 2 could have used another few months in the city planning office. For now, it's more of a fixer-upper.

Such a shame this wasn't better. Will come back in a couple years when the sim is fixed and there's a billion mods like the first game.

Very complicated

Honestly, i really wished for this game to be something good, something that builds upon the original game, something that is better than its predecessor, but in the end what we got is a game that doesn’t even have half of the things we had in the full version of Cities Skylines 1 and the fact that you can’t even run the game with more than 30 fps unless you have a high end setup. This game really could’ve been something special but with it being a scummy sequel just proved that being a monopoly in a certain game genre pushes devs to ruining the game. Not a TERRIBLE game but you still have no reason to play it as long as cities skylines 1 is a thing.

I know it's going to get better with time but it's already pretty decent

A worse version of the first game, only the road building and graphics have been improved, performance and all other gameplay features were ruined.
