About


Raise a city from the ground up and transform it into the thriving metropolis only you can imagine. You've never experienced building on this scale. With deep simulation and a living economy, Cities: Skylines II delivers world-building without limits.
Lay the foundations for your city to begin. Create the roads, infrastructure, and systems that make life possible day to day. It's up to you – all of it.
How your city grows is your call too, but plan strategically. Every decision has an impact. Can you energize local industries while also using trade to boost the economy? What will make residential districts flourish without killing the buzz downtown? How will you meet the needs and desires of citizens while balancing the city's budget?
Your city never rests. Like any living, breathing world, it changes over time. Some changes will be slow and gradual, while others will be sudden and unexpected. So while seasons turn and night follows day, be ready to act when life doesn't go to plan.
The most realistic and detailed city builder ever, Cities: Skylines II pushes your creativity and problem-solving to another level. With beautifully rendered high-resolution graphics, it also inspires you to build the city of your dreams.

AI and intricate economics mean your choices ripple through the fabric of the city. Remember that as you strategize, problem-solve, and react to change, challenges, and opportunities.


Cities: Skylines II lets you create without compromise. Now you can build sky-high and sprawl across the map like never before. Why not? Your city is you.


Your decisions shape each citizen's life path, a chain of events that defines who they are. From love and loss to wealth and wellbeing, follow their life's ups and downs.

Pick a map to set the climate of your city. These are the natural forces you'll negotiate to expand your city amid rising pollution, changeable weather, and seasonal challenges.

Iceflake is making this a 10/10 game.
The game has so many missing features which Cities Skyline 1 had which you'd expect to find but it just isn't in the game. Things like not being able place fences for detail without mods because there just missing for some reason. The water physics are probably my least favourite thing in the game. There is very little you can actually do to the water without having mods
Insane game but so many DLCS that I want to buy but dont have the money for it. I stop playing it for a while but I know I will restart playing it soon
Pretty good follow up to the first game. Still has some issues, but very much worth the time and money.
I've always been a fan of cities skylines from the first one and I can say after nearly 300 Hours on cities skylines II that it has certainly reached my expectations I cant wait for more to be added to the game and highly recommend it. Iceflake studios has certainly saved this game.
My favorite city builder game of all time. This game has come a long way since initial launch and I cannot recommend it enough.
The game lets me build the Third Reich. 10/10
Its a really fun sim game i like it its basically like being an industrialist
I find the game challenging, engaging, satisfying, and stable. There are lots of details to add and manage, so boredom seems unlikely.
I really wanted to like this game but unfortunately it still contains bugs, the game is regularly freezing up at random intervals. I have waited until now to purchase this game because of the early bugs and reviews and it sounds like some of the earlier bugs have been ironed out ..... but obviously not all. PROS: The building and other models look great, I love the ability to attach upgrades to existing models to increase capacity i.e. additional patient capacity at clinics .. etc. The car models are great looking although I think the traffic engine is a bit broken still. Ships and cargo vessels look much better and don't appear to crash into each other and overlap like the first. (well so far anyway). The weather effects are great, I had snowfall in my city which looked great as it covered the buildings and streets. The water is visually much better and makes waterfront cities look fantastic. CONS: The random freezing up ! ..... and the road connections can sometimes seem a bit odd when joining different road types together. The road elevation is something that takes a little bit of getting used as it does not always appear obvious unless you look at the properties of the road tool. Dislikes: - The specialized industry boundary drawing tool - its pretty bad and limited to a small area. The original CS did it better although that was an industries DLC you could cover larger areas and with more models. (i.e. drilling rigs, farming sheds, forestry worksites) - - The road replacement tool is frustrating as when you are replacing sections of road you can easily change the aligment of the road, creating small bends in your once perfectly straight road. This requires a steady hand and attention to road placement :) - No undo button! There should be an undo button in the base game as having to bulldoze to undo is painful. The base game should have also included a bulldoze area tool so you can select a large area to bulldoze at once. When you accidently place a large road intersection and have to bulldoze its many pieces its just plain stupid :) I'll stick with this game as despite its flaws I love city builders but i might have to give it a break as the frequent freeze ups ( which didn't happen when i first started playing the game ) spoil the gameplay. Maybe its because my city is a certain size or maybe I have a combination of assets that triggers a fault .. I'm not sure .. I just hope they can patch it again soon. Just so you know my setup is the Base Game + two DLC's which are Skyscrapers creator pack and Supply Chains creator pack. ( both had very positive feedback ).
