    Cities: Skylines is an impressively-detailed simulation, to be sure, and it’s a lot of fun once you start to get things up and running, with the caveat that getting it up and running is a lot easier said than done. This is not a casual game by any stretch of the imagination, and given how complex many of the mechanics are, it’s pretty ridiculous that the game doesn’t offer a more robust tutorial system. That led to a boatload of frustration early on for me, but to be fair, it also made things that much more rewarding once I got the hang of them.

    This is the best city builder game in the world, it is well worth buying all the DLCs. Over all I would give it higher that 10/10.

    I do enjoy this game as its just soo addictive. But after a while i always like to start again lol. But the only downside is i understand whenI do enjoy this game as its just soo addictive. But after a while i always like to start again lol. But the only downside is i understand when i purchased this game it would give me more options. Its very basic to start as in you have to choose a small handful of landscapes already designed. I wanted to design my own landscapes but cant. Also the trailers and pictures show things like raised metro tracks and close ups but the PS4 version wont allow any of this. So feel i only got half the game. But as its very addictive i really do enjoy this as hours have flown by as i been too into it. Full Review »
