I mostly enjoy the greater variety in the music stations so I like that aspect of this. If more stations aren't your thing, don't buy it and give it negative reviews if you already know you won't like it.

I personally believe the reviews mentioning the radio system entirely should be removed or added to the reviews on the main game. You are suppose to review the music of the station not the feature as a whole, leave that review on CS2 listing.

A great game with a lot of potential and that has served the city building community well. I am thankful for all the love that developers and modders poured into this game. I look forward to Cities Skylines 2 which has a lot of potential to improve the space for modders and have the game last another 10 years.

My first impressions of this game is great. Going from CS:1 to CS:2 isn't too jarring and was easy to pick up.
I love the tutorial experience. It's helpful and easy to work with. The loading time is wonderful but I also don't have mods yet but I hope the new mod experience will mean better optimised mods so we don't need mods like Loading Screen and other things to help us organise all those things.

Performance wise it's good on my AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT with 16GB RAM and my RTX 2080 SUPER. My settings are set around medium, I am not running this on a silly 4K monitor and I have turned off dynamic resolution and a few other things recommended by Paradox and creators. This isn't ideal and the game should be better optimised but it doesn't ruin the game experience for me like some other people leaving reviews or complaining. However, I have not tried raising the details of the game so maybe I will hit performance issues if I do that. Now, I do expect the game to optimised but knowing I don't have the recommended specs I am not going to expect it to be perfect like some others seem to be expecting. Geez people, learn to be content.
Now I do get some shadow flicker on thin objects like light poles but I might just need to change a few settings.

In the end, I look forward to playing and getting use this game in order to create thriving cities, towns, and villages.

It's overall a great game to get people interested into urban design, especially if you use mods to make your cities less, car dependent.
