It can seem overwhelming at first, but after a few hours, Cities: Skylines goes from an intimidating simulation to a deep but manageable experience.īut the game is two years old, so this isn’t really news to anyone. Aside from that, there’s actually a lot of infrastructure to lay out from emergency services to decorations and even public transportation. Buildings will be abandoned, revenue goes down and you’ll get constant tweets about how much the city sucks (no, I’m not over the tweets!). If citizens are unhappy, it will affect the city. Fortunately, prospective mayors won’t have to guess what the citizens want because they have a habit of passive-aggressively tweeting about how horrible you are until you build a windmill or something. It’s all about balance, as players must keep in mind what the city needs as well as what the people desire. Users can also control things like taxes, offering even more depth. From there, they lay out the roads to their cities, create districts, and supply those districts with amenities like power and water. Players choose from different landscapes that have different terrains and varying amounts of natural resources. Released in 2015 by Paradox interactive, Cities Skylines picked up the torch that Sim City dropped a few years back, working as almost a spiritual successor to that franchise-even if it isn’t quite dead. Originally a strong PC title, Cities: Skylines – Xbox One Edition is the debut entry of the series on consoles, and with it comes some growing pains.ĭon’t get me wrong, as far as city sims go, it’s hard to find a title as consistently fun as Cities: Skylines. But every once in a while a title comes along and tries to break through to the other side and succeed on consoles. These games aren’t for everyone, and for the most part they’ve kept to themselves on the PC, where the mouse and keyboard controls really complement the gameplay.
They require the player to think ahead, plan accordingly, and please the simulated people living in their city.
City Sims are some of the most intricate titles in the video game medium.
