PSLS: "When I was a kid, I had something of an obsession with the Sim series of games that Maxis seemed to come out with in rapid succession during the ’90s. From my introduction to the series with SimTown to my later experiences enjoying SimCity, SimFarm, SimPark, SimTower, and yes, even freakin’ SimAnt, I couldn’t get enough of building my own structures and ecosystems…even if I didn’t really know what I was doing. Fast-forward to the current year, when I was very excited to review Cities: Skylines. I’d heard it serves as a sort of spiritual successor to the SimCity crown after Electronic Arts’ botched handling of the most recent title in that series. And while Cities does have an excellent game at its core, I once again found myself feeling a familiar combination of excitement and anxiety — the former from the wide available of options at my disposal, and the latter from not really knowing what on Earth I was doing."
Today Colossal Order and Paradox announced their plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Cities: Skylines franchise.
BLG writes, "Cities: Skylines II is a very worthy sequel to the popular 2015 city-building that improves upon the original. It could stand to use some quality-of-life updates, performance optimization, and mod support, but don't let that deter you from diving in."
If you enjoyed the last entry and its myriad DLC packs, here's a closer look at the difference between Cities Skylines 1 and 2.
The abundance of dlc is what keeps me from buying these games early , I'll pass. I will wait until a complete edition is available. Love these types of games though.
Well..that means you have to wait for probably 7 years..and even than its not sure there is a complete edition. Even now..8! years after the release of the first game..you have to pay 325€ for the game with all so far released dlc.
I'm fine with that my backlog goes back to snes, your also missing base game is practically free and dlc goes on sale constantly. Cities skyline 1 alone with dlc can be had way way cheaper then what you stated.
Well if you're a console owner you don't need to worry because it's been delayed until at least spring of 24 and they've refunded all console preorders. I was refunded even though I never asked for one which kind of makes me wonder if they can even get cities working properly on console's.
They've also upped the recommended specs for pc

"Not being a huge fan of the genre, I realize some of my problems were just not being familiar with how these games generally work"
huh?
