Cities: Skylines somehow lives up to the unfair expectations heaped upon it, presenting one of the best city builders in years.

Cities: Skyline is the game SimCity should have been: a great game and a greater base for modders.

This game managed to be everything I had hoped it would be and then some, with all the wonderful attention to little details and customization options. Fans of the genre wont want to miss this one.

I remember Cities: Skylines had a bit of a rough start when it released, and the base game lacked a bit of content in the beginning, but when accounting for mods, this game is easily a 9/10 or 10/10, depending on how into these types of sim games you are. I think there is a lot to like here for different people. Personally, I really enjoy the infrastructure/road management aspect of the game, especially with mods.

Eu nunca pensei que um jogo de administração de cidade passaria Simcity depois de Civilization, mas a administração desse jogo é ótima, você só consegue comprar certas coisas depois de certa população, os gráficos são melhores que Simcity e a gameplay é melhor que Civilization nos consoles, seu maior objetivo é cumprir as necessidades dos moradores e aumentar cada vez mais a cidade, ele só é meio datado, mas tem o remaster e o 2 se preferir

It’s a shame that Maxis folded the way it did, but the baton has been passed. Rejoice, mini-mayors, for the city-builder is born anew.

Cities: Skylines is absolutely the best city-builder I’ve played since SimCity 4. From macro to micro, from the sprawling transport networks and city-wide policies to the fine-tuned districts and street-level detail, it impresses.

Cities: Skylines isn’t without its flaws, but even the things wrong with it add to its charm. It might not be that much of a challenge, but it delivers on the glee of expansion.

Even though Cities: Skylines is not without flaws, it's still the best game in city-building genre.

As limber as Cities: Skylines is, it’s sorely lacking in replayability. Instead, it lets you get the most out of your favorite city by encouraging you to endlessly optimize and furthermore giving you the tools you need to do it. Come for the ant farm spectacle and spreadsheet detail. Stay for the endless cultivation of your favorite garden.

This is a good game actually. Maybe the best game of managing a modern city. You can do everything you want. I wanted to give 8 point but there are lots of DLC. And This DLC's changing game completely. Classic Paradox game. For this reason, I gave 7 to this game.

The traffic simulation is terrable. The car AI is allergic to using more then 1 lane. Game is pay to play. There so many Dlc and i play without them and its boring. Dlc everything because they try to monetize every real life building.

This game is potential wasted. It has great graphics, asset creators, and is almost perfect for those who just like to create cities to look at. If you want a city simulator, though, Cities: Skylines falls flat on its face. There is very little content in the vanilla game. To actually have a good experience, one needs to purchase a load of DLCs. The graphics, while better than some games, are not optimized for all but the most high-end computers. Even with the lowest graphics settings, I struggle to get more than 5fps. To make this game playable, one needs mods, which is unfortunate for such an expensive game. The simulation is not realistic, and does not represent how actual cities work. It is very hard to go bankrupt, even on the hardest settings, and one spends the whole game fixing traffic around freight rail stations. Additionally, big deathwaves come through the city, and kill off half of your population every now and then for no reason. There is no mixed-use zoning. You can't have streets without cars. You can't have alleyways, or canals, or a lot of the things that make real-life cities good. Transportation is basically swept under the rug, and the way people get around shares no resemblance to real-life. There is a lot of potential here for the ultimate city-building game. Unfortunately, there are a few humongous flaws that hold it back.
SummaryDeveloped by Colossal Order, Cities: Skylines offers sprawling landscapes and maps with endless sandbox gameplay and new ways to expand your city. Key to progression is the ability to influence your city’s policy by incorporating taxation into districts. All this plus the ability to mod the game to suit your play style.
