Cities: Skylines 2 Review

Cities: Skylines 2 reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. Cities: Skylines 2 is not the best game in the lineage of Will Wright s original 1989 classic. The champion is still the original Cities: Skylines, at least for now. If Skylines 2 gets the same incredible postlaunch support and additional paid and free content as its predecessor, and if the modding community is allowed to thrive, I think this sequel might come out ahead in the long run. There are so many enjoyable new systems and exciting additions, sadly encased in an awfullooking block of concrete that gets in the way of how much I know I could be loving them. It makes too many promises of realism that its most basic features like zoning can t deliver on. It feels like playing a beta, or a very early Early Access game. Frankly, Skylines 2 could have used another few months in the city planning office. For now, it s more of a fixerupper.
