Dominic Sheard: "I never got round to playing EA’s latest SimCity release, but the amount of negative press, awful online requirements (which I know are now gone), issues with the restrictions of the game, disabled features while the servers were overloaded, and fan comments surrounding the game put me off from ever giving it a chance. The developers, Colossal Order, and the publisher, Paradox, saw an opportunity arise with the fan fallout over SimCity, so Cities: Skylines was given the greenlight. The developers, who are clearly huge fans of old Sim City titles, have crafted a well designed city builder that welcomes people with open arms. This game feels like it was made for the fans of the genre and everyone who had their hearts broken by EA and Maxis’ restricted SimCity experience."
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.
Well..that means you have to wait for probably 7 years..and even than its not sure there is a complete edition. Even now..8! years after the release of the first game..you have to pay 325€ for the game with all so far released dlc.
I'm fine with that my backlog goes back to snes, your also missing base game is practically free and dlc goes on sale constantly. Cities skyline 1 alone with dlc can be had way way cheaper then what you stated.
Well if you're a console owner you don't need to worry because it's been delayed until at least spring of 24 and they've refunded all console preorders. I was refunded even though I never asked for one which kind of makes me wonder if they can even get cities working properly on console's.
They've also upped the recommended specs for pc
