"Overall, I have very few bad things to say about Cities: Skylines. It is an almost perfect city builder, managing to revive and re-energize a genre which has been going downhill in recent years, trading on past glories and nostalgia without adding anything meaningful.
But not only is Cities: Skylines an almost perfect city builder, it’s an almost perfect game in its own right. Colossal Order took a gamble, and it’s one that paid off. If you’re looking for something to buy on Steam that evokes warm fuzzy feelings not felt since the halcyon days of Sim City 4, make sure that Cities: Skylines is your first port of call."
Today Colossal Order and Paradox announced their plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Cities: Skylines franchise.

BLG writes, "Cities: Skylines II is a very worthy sequel to the popular 2015 city-building that improves upon the original. It could stand to use some quality-of-life updates, performance optimization, and mod support, but don't let that deter you from diving in."

If you enjoyed the last entry and its myriad DLC packs, here's a closer look at the difference between Cities Skylines 1 and 2.
The abundance of dlc is what keeps me from buying these games early , I'll pass. I will wait until a complete edition is available. Love these types of games though.
