    É um bom jogo pra vc que já se divertiu com Simcity e ainda espera uma continuação(e que saia das garras da EA)
    Mas temos um grande problema,Eles Lançam um jogo e faz ele durar um bom tempo só com dlcs(que normalmente não mudam muita coisa,como por exemplo,ficar de noite)

    Very good game, the best of city builders. But the DLC politic is terrible and the late game tends to be boring.
    In any case, the amount of content is incredible, and has very solid mechanics.

The game is also very mod friendly so you can download anything you want, so if you want to have the Sydney Harbour Bridge in your city you can. My only problem with the game is that way too many features are locked behind an expansive and expensive selection of DLCs, this is a Paradox game after all. Now you can the game without DLCs and still have a lot of fun if you download mods but thats not something a game should make you do if you don't want to spend hundreds on overpriced DLCs. At the end of the day though, the game is still astonishing so it would be worth your time.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Very good game but it has its issues, one of the issues is that you have to spend an unbelievable amount of money to get all the DlCs even when its on sale. The game does get a bit repetitive but you can set yourself challenges and it would help you keep playing but ultimately this game is a game you can actually play for a long time without getting bored.

    One of the best urban planning simulators today, it's pretty boring to play without DLC, but thank you that new buildings are not hidden in the battle pass. In general, it's fun to go to build a dream city from time to time.

    n short, the game is good, but the sad thing is that for a good and "fast" game you need at least a powerful computer, with my computer time starts to go very slowly over time, I understand that the problem is not with me, but the developers could optimize the game more, and so the game is cool

    You do the same things over and over again, there is no in depth politics system and the game is mostly about optimizing things. New discoveries are only done in the beginning; later on it gets repetitive.

    This is a great citybuilder and it is fantastic fun. The few drawbacks are some of the vanilla assets from 2015 don't look as good as the newer stuff and some of the depth requires DLC and mods.. The game could also benefit from some more late game content, but as a citybuilder I can't rate it any less considering how much I like to play this game. Hope more game play centric DLC is released.

    Overall a fun city sim. Nothing really super special about the game. Unfortunately, you need mods in order to truly unlock this game's creative potential. Not to mention all of the expensive DLC, some of which don't add much to the overall experience. Highly CPU-intensive game which can be slow at times. But managing traffic is fun, so 8/10.

To unlock all the content of this game you will need more than 500 hours of gameplay, making different cities organized in different ways. The game encourages you to think a lot about how you choose to develop buildings.

    Add-on's are a huge exaggeration: they are expensive, some of them bring nothing but few buildings, even when installed they appear to be non-functional, andthey spoil all the achievements of the Steam platform.    … Expand

    Repetitive Buildings (same over and over).

    The music could have been better.
    Citizens can actually teleport.

    So, Skylines is not a horrible game, but it's not a great game either. SimCity 4 with Rush Hour is much better. Even SimCity Societies is a little better. So, I'm not sure what all the hype is about Skylines. All I know is, it's not for me. I give it a 6.    … Expand

No voy a mentir cuando digo que deseo una segunda versión, cities skylines 2 con un mejor motor gráfico, bastante más realista y que sepa aprovechar mejor los recursos de un ordenador, que no consuma tantísima memoria RAM y tantísimo procesador aunque sé que es muy difícil con un juego de este estilo, cargando tantísimos props y con tantísimos cálculos por segundo.

    Cities skylines (CS) es un buen juego y es un excelente sucesor de la franquicia de Sim city(SC) (digo yo que CS es lo que tuvo que ser Sim city 2013), aprovechando muchas de las mécanicas propuestas por Will Wright y su equipo en SM 3000 Y 4 y teniendo un gran mapa para construir lo que se te antoje( cosa que SM 2013 carece y hace que no se pueda hacer mucho en su pequeña zona) ; Ahora,Cities skylines (CS) es un buen juego y es un excelente sucesor de la franquicia de Sim city(SC) (digo yo que CS es lo que tuvo que ser Sim city 2013), aprovechando muchas de las mécanicas propuestas por Will Wright y su equipo en SM 3000 Y 4 y teniendo un gran mapa para construir lo que se te antoje( cosa que SM 2013 carece y hace que no se pueda hacer mucho en su pequeña zona) ; Ahora, que CS este falto de contenido en el juego base y que tengas que pagar, por ejemplo, por los desastres (cosa que en SM 2013 viene incluido en el juego) es por lo menos una falta de respeto por parte de los ejecutivos de Paradox o CO que nos ven la cara de tontos.

    Good graphics, very good sounds and music (radio stations). You may switch stations from time to time (after like 5 hours), but it basically never gets old to listen, and everyone can find heir own desired taste to listen to, with some interesting and most times funny interactions, news, and commercials as well.

    I find it almost a necessity at this point to have mods. To be able to build fast, efficient, and CLEAN!
    To set custom give way, no crossing, etc rules to junctions, Set custom traffic bans, speed limits, but if someone really wants to fool around and "break" the game, you can also have unlimited money, needs, etc....there are a TON of mods.
    Also there are quite a few models as well (bus,train,tram,trolley,etc...).

    This is the typical type of game, you will spend HOURS upon hours, and can never stop, because just tidy this junction, just add 1 more stadium, set 2 more buses to this busy monorail line, just 1 more barrack to boost this industry's zone efficiency/yield, a meteor strike incoming...need some shelters and routes ASAP, etc...you get my point. :)    … Expand

    It really depends what you are looking for when you play a city builder- Cities:Skylines gives you all the tools to build a beautiful city with fantastic vistas and a shear endless pipeline of mods to make really impressive screenshots. Should you however search for something that requires strategy, planning and management, you might get bored and/or frustrated really fast.It really depends what you are looking for when you play a city builder- Cities:Skylines gives you all the tools to build a beautiful city with fantastic vistas and a shear endless pipeline of mods to make really impressive screenshots. Should you however search for something that requires strategy, planning and management, you might get bored and/or frustrated really fast.

    Unfortunately the developers focused mostly on the cosmetical aspects and added a number of DLCs and patches that more or less forgot about the simulation and instead had you plop down buildings like in the long (and rightfully) forgotten "Sim City Societies", producing large sums of money until you literally have no use for it anymore, while clogging up your streets to the point where the 5000 inhabitants of your little paradise need a network of highways and public transport like the kind of metropolis that it will never be for that very reason.

    The traffic has been a disaster since day one, and up until this day cars will calculate their path based on their goal, not the avaiable space, so you will have to use workarounds that, while not really fixing anything kill any kind of immersion or realism, which I was really looking forward to. This will slowly cause a meltdown of the whole city since most "agents" that control the simulation are dependent on traffic. But it doesn't matter anyway- people are always happy, as long as they have electricity, water and a road to wait on. And so should you: As long as the game starts - with ridiculous loading times - and you found the button to mute the subpar music, this is still the best 3D-city-builder out there.

    The development team has been riding on the wave of hate against EA and their indeed inferior Sim-City-Not-Five. Even these days people seem to think that they are dealing with an indie developer that really needs every penny since they saved the genre, but five years later they have become exactly what they swore to destroy (insert Obi-Wan screaming at Anakin here).

    If you don't care for your rights as a consumer and have too much money, you can add 2 points to my rating: I deduced one point for the terrible DLC-policy and one more for the changed license agreement that was forced onto me years after my purchase.    … Expand

    Arkadaşlar şöyle bir şey düşünün. Sistemin çok yeni ve oyunlara yetecek kadar sistemin olsun ama sadece bir oyunda affedersin y****k gibi çalıştığını gördüğünüzü düşünün, ne yapardınız? Bence kesin rage quit yapardınız sinirinizle. Optimizasyonu ETS 2'nin TruckersMP modundan bile beter. İllaki yüksek bilgisayar istiyorsa fazla mod için ben tek oyun için bilgisayar toplamam ya da yükseltmem asla. Bildiğin rezalet...

    Garry's Mod MetroStroi'de de optimizasyon sıkıntısı mevcut ama hiç bu kadarı olamaz. Benim şehir nüfusu 120 bin, 2000 tane küsür asset ve 25'e yakın modum var. 15-20dk'da açılıyor ve bilgisayar ağlıyor (sistemim de kötü değil bu arada). Benim sistemim bu arada 12GB RAM'e, RX 570 GPU'ya ve R3 1300X işlemcim var, diğer oyunlarda paşa paşa kaldırıyor. Sonuç gerçekten rezalet...

    Oyunun mod desteği ve gelişmiş teknolojilerini beğendim diyebilirim ama bu oyun modsuz da olmuyor. DLC'leri çok pahalı değil fakat hepsini almaya kalkışsanız çok pahalı oluyor. İçerikleri çok beğendim diyemem. Grafik ve detaylar muazzam gibi bir şey, çok beğendim ama yine de bazı yerlerde detaylar performans için kısıldığını görüyorum. Onun dışında harika.

    Simcity (2013) ile kıyaslandığında iğrenç optimizasyonu ve bazı eksiklikler dışında ezer geçer. Çünkü oyunda gelişmiş bütçe belirleme, şehir bölgeleri oluşturma gibi özellikler oldukça iyi yapıyor oyunu.

    Ek bir bilgi olarak optimizasyon için hala yama gelmedi. Yapacağım yapacağım demişsiniz nerede o yama? Bir de ben Paradox'u suç atmıyorum, bunu ben Colossal Order'ın suçlu olduğunu çok net bir şekilde söyleyebilirim. İşte oyuna puanım:
