1000x better then the sequel. Only wish the road tools from CS2 were in this game. 100% get this one and not CS2 you've been warned!

⭐ 10/10 would bankrupt my city again Started off with dreams of a utopia. Ended up with: 3 McDonald’s, 47 landfills, and one roundabout that causes more deaths than natural disasters. Every citizen somehow demanding fresh water while living directly next to the river. A power plant exploding because I forgot coal exists. My population dropping faster than my FPS when I added “1000 Cows Mod.” I came in wanting to build the next New York. I left with the next Detroit (no offense, Detroit, well... maybe some). Final Verdict: I am both Mayor of the Year and a wanted criminal in my own city.

This game is a gift from god for people who like seeing their creations actually come to life. If you live in Toronto, Canada you'll love this game. It shows you what Toronto could be like if it wasn't planned by absolute idiots who know nothing about traffic planning. You will gain a love for renewable energy after playing this game. Nuclear reactors are amazing. I have also never played this game without infinite money because I don't have patience.

Cities: Skylines isn’t a city builder, it’s a wallet drainer. The base game is just a demo for the €436.35 of DLCs they’ve carved out and sold separately.

Slap 500 mods on this and you've got a better cities skylines two. Still don't like the paradox-style monetization but there's plenty of ways around that.

This game could be great but is killing itself with weird mechanics. I also strongly recommend to not buy Cities:Skylines 2 due to the lazyness of the developers. One of many examples: building too fast will kill your city. Yes, please sit in front of your PC looking at things by design while incoming money fills you municipal treasury. Please. Do. Not. Invest. Too. Fast. How does this come? Well, when you designate new residential areas, the people moving in will all be the same age group and have the same life expectency. This is the underlying game mechanic and can not be influenced effectively. The result: they later will all die in a very close time frame, all together. This leads to the sheer mass of suddenly required hearses to clog up the streets no matter if you had 93% traffic flow and no jams at all the whole time. So bodies do not get picked up since hearses are stuck, which eventually will lead to the building getting abandoned, which will lead to a decrease in land val...

I'm kinda late with this review, but it's only because I was to addicted to this game and even though it's from 2015, it's still fantastic. The modding community alone makes this the definitive city builder. It gives you all the tools to build your dream city, and then some.

This is probably the best game I have ever had the joy of playing. It's fun, relaxing, easy to get good at once you understand a couple basic concepts. Even managing traffic goes from being a chore to incredibly satisfying when you understand how it works. While the vanilla game is great on its own, DLC, mods, and community content make this game customizable to your heart's desire. It goes from being a fun and simple experience to an incredibly in depth game where you get to design an incredibly detailed and complex rendition of your own unique city. Absolutely recommend for all people, but don't get Cities:Skylines II just yet.

The game is very fun and helps let out creative ideas in a fun way!

Very amazing game love the mods plus you can unleash your creativity as far as you can. Citizens are such babies all the time especially with chirper and always some random person dying and their body not being picked up even though I have several crematoriums and graveyards around the whole place which leads to the annoying chirper twitter thing to start ranting on how bad of a job I am doing managing my fictional city. Maybe its just me but with mods the designs and atmosphere is unlimited and you can get very far especially with Cities: Skylines II available. I always have fun playing with the unlimited mods that are already included in content manager like Unimilited Money & Oil.
