Cities: Skylines

A quote from an canadian author named Jane Jacobs , which represents the assenc of the game very well.

After you selected a map the game starts with a small tutorial, in which you learn the basics on how you build a city, that kind of runs ok. If you want a bigger and nicer city, you simpley have to build more and take a closer look on the needs of your citizens.



Graphics

The game was realesed in 2015, so the graphics are not that overwehlming or anything like that. The details of buildings are nice, people walking or cars driving arround in the city look ok, the enviroment or scencs in genrall look also good and effects like fire or explosions are ok but sometimes look a little bit janky. The water physics are very good and can play a big roll in the way of how you play the game, if you allow it ;).

13/20 Points



Gameplay

As i said in the beginning to make a city big and nice you just have to keep building, if you see that there is demand for any of the three differnt zones (residential (green) zones, commercial (blue) zones and industrial (orange) zones), just build more streets and assign that new free space to one of these three zones.

There is no real main goal in this game. You just build stuff and try to keep your revenue higher then your expenditure. The only real mission is to survive and not lose all your money. From time to time your citizens give you small quests which you can complete. If you like a big sandbox you will like it and if you want a game, with a little bit of guidance and you know story quests or something like that, you will probably be a little bit overwehlmed at the beginning. Either way, if you play these kinds of games, you will probably like it.

On top of the normal stuff you can build like police stations, fire stations, hospitals or schools. You can also build tourist attractions, a football field, sewer pipes, water pumps or dams. There are definitely many things to build in this game. I never played/bought the DLCs, they add some content to the game i guess, but in my opinion they are not really needed because the game has a Workshop , so there is plenty of content in the base game already. If you are intrested in DLCs you can buy them when there is a sale or something.

15/20 Points



Fun

Fun is allways a subjective thing. I played the game occasionally and the few hours i have in this game where fun to play. Watching your city grow and adding more and more buildings and streets until it runs independent is definitely satisfying to watch. If you like this game in the long run is up to you. I imagine if you play it 24/7 it can get boring after a while, because there are structures on how to build your city, that give you a lot more money then other. Still had fun with it :)

15/20 Points



Conclusion

City: Skylines is a good game, with a lot of content. You watch your city grow and make more and more money. The Graphics are something between ok and good. In compersion to other games of this genre it is definitely on the good side.



Finall Score: 43/60 Points
