Cities XXL

the game is cool

Nice if you want a city painter. Terrible is you want a city simulator. The game lacks challenge and is outright boring. But it's really nice if you just want to plop stuff and take nice screenshots.

7/10, gave this a thumb up and that score due to this made me able to play Cities XL again. In my opinion, nothing much changed in XXL, they just added new maps, map editor, and modding ability. Not like this is a complete overhaul from XL with, I don't know, sewage system, much robust transport (even this one is worse as they add trams in the statistics yet no way for you to put one), or more power plant options. Score is basically carried by XL, if you see this review, I suggest you to just get this firsthand rather than XL first, lose 180+ hours because of some unnamed crap.

nice

Game itself is good. What brings it down is the stability issues and lack of polish( the game is rough as they come) and obviously it will never be patched nor updated ever again. BUT! I like the feel of it, cant put my finger on it but it is much nicer gamplay for me then city skylines. No complications, no uneccesary weight, just build until your memory runs out due to huge memory leackage.

Un city builder lleno de posibilidades, bien balanceado y muy amigable con el jugador casual. Tiene una curva de aprendizaje suave, pero puede profundizarse en la experiencia tanto como uno quiera. Su desarrollo resulta coherente, sin sobresaltos que estropeen la experiencia de construir la ciudad a tu antojo y sin eventos frustrantes. Los gráficos son decentes, aunque las animaciones de los ciudadanos resultan demasiado mecánicas y se repiten muchos modelos.
