Cities: Skylines II

1.2h → 1.7h 35 EUR -> Not so bad for this game. yeah.. buy it. It's a total new feeling from Cities Skylines 1. This game is actually not that bad. But the early game is extremely confusing, and it’s very easy to get stuck if you don’t understand how the new systems work. I restarted from scratch and in 30 minutes I reached 1000 population, and the city looks genuinely amazing. The gap between my first 1.2 hours and the next 30 minutes is huge. --------------------------------- 0h → 1.2h Don’t buy at 50 EUR. Don’t buy at 35 EUR. Don’t buy at 10 EUR. This game should be free-to-play until they fix the bugs — and only then ask money for it. I played for 1.2 hours and the experience is horrible. Population: 85 people. Water system: 4 water pumps. Result: the game still cries that the water is “infected”. The new system with water and electricity under the road is a mess. Every building complains it’s not connected to a road, and if the slope is slightly too high, the building simply refuses to connect. And here’s the best part: If a building can’t connect to a road, you can’t relocate it. You must delete it. At this point I’d rather delete the game and go back to Cities Skylines 1. Horrible, horrible experience.

recently i got really into cities skylines. ive had the game for years but ive only played 5 hours. the reason is that the games mechanics are quite complex and hard to understand. but that exact thing is also what got me hooked once i gave it another try, i got sucked in this week and spent 45 more hours on the game. but the reason i even got a bit into it again is because youtube recommended me some channels that play cities skylines... 2. ive only played the first one because ive already owned it, but ever since ive enjoyed playing the first one so much, i thought: maybe i would enjoy the second part in the series? especially since ive heard that it has many of the things i wouldve liked in the first game: more realistic simulation and behavior regarding individual humans. better road creation and changing, more pedestrian-friendly and car-unfriendly city-options. but since even the discount at 35 euros is still a lot of money for me, ive looked online to see whether other people agreed that the game was worth the buy. and the answer was actually mostly negative or mixed from big channels. but then i went into comment sections and people disagreed. so i thought: why not buy it, and if my pc cant handle it or my experience is bad, i can just refund it before the 2 hour mark. and in the end, this game is fantastic. in my opinion, it is far better than the original. it has all the things i said i wanted, and i created a city that runs almost entirely off of walking, cycling, busses, trams, and metros. it is extremely fun, theres more european type houses, a lot of systems are more intuitive or detailed, i like that demand is more specific, i like that happiness is more detailed and you can see what is making the city unhappy and even what is making certain houses or people unhappy. it feels like its actually simulating a city with individual people, rather than the concept of a city. and yes in the end this game is a glorified city painter rather than this hyper realistic simulation... but thats what makes it fun, too. im looking to design something and get some feedback on how these simulated people like it, on how to improve traffic and make all the systems work together. and then i want to spend a lot of time proudly looking at it working, before eventually breaking it again by expanding. i dont understand the bad reviews, maybe some time ago this was a bad game, but i can tell the devs put time into it, the performance is okay (i am essentially running it at medium, with proton GE). and the gameplay is fantastic in my opinion. as long as i can run the game, i dont even care if it looks a bit washed out at times, so does the first game. what matters is that i enjoy building the city and i do, even more than in the first game which was already fantastic.

I enjoy this game but I do miss the specialized Zones, like colleges, that City 1 had.

The game lets me build the Third Reich. 10/10

Im hard!
