好久没写测评了。
TF3 马上要发布了，发布前也正好休息休息，暂时从《城市：天际线 II》里出来透口气。
我也不是什么玩了几千个小时、拿着道路断面图就能给别人上课的大佬。纯粹就是玩得时间还行，踩过不少坑，也被这游戏折磨过不少次。
所以这篇不算什么专业评测。
随便写写，随便评价。

# 《城市：天际线 II》
首先。
我草泥马了隔壁破游戏一堆bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
好了，开始评价。
这游戏从首发到现在确实修了不少东西，但最大的问题依然没跑：
性能还有一些基础运营逻辑
我这套配置玩到中后期，四十万人左右照样明显降速。
最搞笑的是，很多时候画面其实没怎么卡。
5090 在旁边精神抖擞。
真正快死的是模拟。
你按下三倍速：
5090：准备完毕。
265K：正在计算。
40万市民：你算你妈呢
然后游戏继续以一种接近一倍速的庄严速度向前运行。
闪退我也遇到过很多次。
甚至遇到过坏档。
最离谱的时候，我还得自己写代码去检测、修复存档。
加码迪拜。
搞得跟这游戏是老子开发的一样。
我本身还是做计算机性能相关工作的。
白天上班：
分析性能问题。
晚上回家：
打开《城市：天际线 II》。
继续分析性能问题。
……
我到底下班没有？嗯哼？？？
我草泥马！！！？？
所以这游戏教会我的第一个城市管理技能，不是道路分级，不是公交规划，也不是财政管理。
是：
Peace？and Love？，love ni jia ma di bai
交通 AI 倒没有很多人说得那么纯弱智。
它有寻路逻辑，也知道避堵。
问题在于：
它的逻辑经常不是你的逻辑
你给工业区修高速、独立出口、货运通道，主次道路分得明明白白。
然后一排货车拐进住宅区。
你盯着它看半天。
理论上它应该有自己的计算。
实际上：你妈的
经济和城市模拟也是类似的问题。
系统很多
野心很大。
人口、就业、物流、租金、商业、教育、交通，全都想模拟。
但信息反馈经常做得不够好。
有时候你真的可以靠分析找到问题。
有时候你只能坐在屏幕前：来人，查一下这帮商业为什么又在叫。
MOD 兼容、闪退、大存档稳定性、大城市模拟速度，还有各种偶发的奇怪行为，到现在都谈不上让我满意。
所以如果只看产品完成度：它绝对不是什么 8 分游戏。
甚至 7 分我都嫌客气。
但是。
最操蛋的事情来了。
我还是爱玩。
道路规划确实有意思。
分区有意思。
工业物流有思。
地铁、铁路、港口、高速慢慢接成一张完整网络的时候，也是真的爽。
尤其是一个堵了两个小时的路口。
拆。
改。
观察。
再拆。
再改。
突然有一次：通了。
那一瞬间你马上开始膨胀：没有我，这帮刁民今天全得堵死在这里
然后晚上把镜头拉远。
原来的一片荒地已经变成住宅区、CBD、工业区、港口和一条条亮着灯的道路。
这时候又不得不承认：
真他妈好玩。
这就是《城市：天际线 II》最神奇的地方。
我可以骂性能。
骂 BUG。
骂闪退。
骂模拟。
坏档的时候甚至想把它从硬盘里扬了。
然后关掉游戏。
第二天打开电脑。
看见图标。
沉默。
启动《城市：天际线 II》
……
操操操操操！！！！！！
所以我的评分是：
产品完成度：5/10
性能与稳定性：4/10
城市规划自由度：8.5/10
交通与系统可玩性：8/10
让我边骂边玩的能力：10/10
综合：6.5/10
这不是神作。
甚至离“完成得很好”都有一段距离。
如果有人因为性能、BUG或者模拟问题给它差评，我完全能理解。
但对我来说：它确实是一坨粑粑
问题是真的多。
屎味也是真的重。
但很遗憾。
我还是挺爱吃。
好了，市长先歇一阵。
TF3 见。
我准备去修铁路了。
希望那边能文明一点。

# Cities: Skylines II Review
It has been a while since I wrote a review.
TF3 is almost here, so this feels like a good time to take a break from *Cities: Skylines II* and breathe for a while.
I am not one of those players with several thousand hours who can teach a university course using road cross-sections.
I have simply played enough, made enough mistakes, and suffered enough to have an opinion.
So this is not a professional review.
Just some random thoughts.
Windows 11
Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265K - RAM: 90 GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 - VRAM: 31 GB
First of all:
♥♥♥♥ this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright.
Review time.
The game has improved a lot since launch, but its biggest problem is still obvious:
Performance.
With this hardware, a large late-game city can still slow down significantly at around 400,000 population.
The funniest part is that the graphics may still look perfectly smooth.
The RTX 5090 is doing fine.
What is dying is the simulation.
You click 3× speed:
RTX 5090: Ready.
265K: Calculating.
400,000 citizens: “Calculate my ass.”
And the game continues forward at something suspiciously close to normal speed.
I have also had plenty of crashes.
I have even had broken saves.
At one point I ended up writing code to inspect and repair a save file.
Fantastic. Apparently I work for the development team now.
The best part is that I already work around computer performance.
During the day:
Performance analysis.
At night:
Launch Cities: Skylines II
More performance analysis.
At some point I had to ask myself: Did I actually leave work????
♥♥♥♥.
The traffic AI is not completely stupid, either.
It has routing logic. It reacts to congestion.
The problem is:
Its logic is often not your logic.
You build dedicated freight access, highway ramps and a clean road hierarchy.
Then a convoy of trucks drives straight into your residential district.
There is probably a perfectly valid calculation behind it.
My response remains: ♥♥♥♥ you!!!!!!!!!!!
The economy and city simulation have a similar problem.
There are many systems and a lot of ambition.
Population, jobs, logistics, rent, commerce, education, traffic.
The game tries to simulate all of it.
But the feedback is not always clear enough.
Sometimes you can diagnose a problem properly.
Sometimes you just stare at the screen like an emperor:“Someone find out why the shops are complaining again.”
Mod compatibility, crashes, large-save stability, late-game simulation speed and random strange behaviour are still very real issues.
So purely as a finished product:
This is absolutely not an 8/10 game.
Honestly, even 7 feels generous.
And yet...
I still love playing it.
Road planning is fun.
Zoning is fun.
Freight is fun.
Watching metros, railways, ports and highways slowly become one complete system is genuinely satisfying.
Nothing beats spending two hours fighting one terrible intersection.
Demolish it.
Rebuild it.
Watch.
Do it again.
Then suddenly:Traffic flows.
And your ego immediately goes:“These idiots would be completely screwed without me.”
Then night falls.
You zoom out.
What used to be empty land has become neighborhoods, industry, a CBD, ports and thousands of glowing roads.
And you are forced to admit: ♥♥♥♥, this is fun.
That is the strange thing about Cities: Skylines II.
I can complain about the performance.
The bugs.
The crashes.
The simulation.
A broken save can make me want to uninstall the entire thing.
Then I close the game.
The next day I see the icon.
Pause.
Launch Cities: Skylines II.
...
♥♥♥♥.
My scores:
Product quality: 5/10
Performance & stability: 4/10
Urban planning freedom: 8.5/10
Traffic & simulation gameplay: 8/10
Ability to keep me playing while complaining: 10/10
Overall: 6.5/10
This is not a masterpiece.
It is not even a particularly polished product.
If someone gives it a negative review because of the performance, bugs or simulation problems, I completely understand.
For me, though: It really is a piece of crap.
The problems are real.
The smell is real.
Unfortunately...
I still enjoy eating it.
The mayor is taking a break.
See you in TF3.
Time to build some railways.
Hopefully that game will treat me better.
