    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.

    Some issues with traffic simulations still exist, but compared to other games of its era this was a great city building game.

    A classic that still holds up as one of if not the best city builder, and for good reason.

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

    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.    … 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.

    This is a city PAINTER, not a city simulator. The only thing it simulates is traffic. The economics are absolutely laughable.

    One of the best simulation games and undoubtedly the best city simulation game so far. Of course it is for the game quality and most importantly, all sorts of mods within the steam workshops.

    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 can tell the developer's built Cities Skylines with real passion for the genre and to deliver a fantastic experience for the players. They genuinely want people to love this game, and because of this attitude...it seems the player's do!

    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.

Sin duda en la versión de PC con los mods es la mejor versión de todas con una diferencia abismal, si no fuese por los mods este juego merecería bastante menos nota, pero gracias a dios, a la suerte o a lo que queráis existen y transforman para mejor este título. 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. En definitiva un merecido nueve gracias a los mods, a la comunidad que tiene y al ser la única opción viable de un simulador de ciudades.    … Expand

    I'll be honest, this wasn't that great at launch, but was better than SimCity 2013. Throughout the years, with many updates and DLCs (as well as the great community of modders and asset makers on the Steam Workshop), it's turned into a fantastic game. It's turned into an extremely fun city builder that I think is now even better than SimCity 4.
