Cities: Skylines II Is a Car Game–and It Doesn't Suck Anymore

4 months ago

Cities: Skylines II is now complete enough to recommend to casual audiences after a rocky development.
The game was inspired by SimCity (2013) but improved upon its agent-based simulation and scale limitations.
Cities: Skylines II initially launched with poor performance, incomplete simulation, and lack of mod support.
Recent updates include the long-awaited asset editor, bicycles, Bridges and Ports DLC, and creator packs like Skyscrapers and Supply Chains.
Traffic management remains a core gameplay element, with recent updates increasing truck traffic and adding bicycles as a new challenge.
Despite its flaws, the game is now serviceable and engaging for city builder fans.
