Most fun I've had building cities in a long time...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

Let me start by saying, I have found my way back home. The very last game I played like this was SimCity 4. To say I was a huge fan is an understatement. I was heartbroken when the series faded away and even more devastated when they released a new version last year. I never thought I'd find that kind of gaming satisfaction again. With that said, please know that Cities Skylines is not a SimCity clone. At least not to me. It has its own uniqueness that causes it to stand fully on its own.

***My only complaint is that "STEAM" thing... which I absolutely hate. If it wasn't for this, I would have rated the game a five. Personally, I prefer the option of buying a disk or downloading free of any other third-party software. THIS IS TERRIBLE IN A MAJOR TIME-CONSUMING KIND OF WAY. I could care less about other video games, advertisements, downloading other games, etc. and all the other crap that is thrown at you just just trying to get into STEAM for the first time, and install the game. Plus, I had so many problems installing the games AND very little help. STEAM will probably cause me never to buy another game again. Who knows what will happen to my software and saved games once they come out with a new version or some update. Probably won't be able to access it anymore... who knows. OKAY... enough about that..."

Aside from this, I had somewhat of a challenge learning how Cities Skylines works. This wasn't a result of the game but just the amount of time it took "me" to figure out how to play. But after a couple of days (which might be a long time to some people), I must say I have the basics in the bag. There are many cities to choose from -- ranging from islands to wooded areas. The flexibility in designing roads and highways is phenomenal. In fact, I found this part advanced but very easy to figure out. I can say the same thing about setting up power in the city as well. It is also easy to zoom, rotate or otherwise view your city in great, great detail. One of my favorite pass times is watching traffic flow freely through my city. When problems arise in the city, a little news flash pops up to tell you about and escort you to the source of the problem in your city if you choose.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could give this game a bad rating unless they just don't like these kinds of simulations OR they found themselves frustrated with STEAM or other technical difficulties. I bought another game called Tropical 4 which I enjoy, but it isn't like this one. In fact, I would say that they are night and day. I also tried a series of games like "The Settlers," but none of them gave me the experience that Cities Skylines does. Of course, this game doesn't have dialogue like in my SimCity games back in the day -- but I can live with that. Plus, the graphics are breath taking. (I think I said that already.) Give it a try.

The best thing about this is the graphics

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2015

The only area in which this earns 5 stars is the graphics. They far outdo Sim City, but game play is not as easy as one would think, and, in addition, I am still trying to find a method in which to delete old test games that I started, but didn't want to continue building on as they were merely used to test building and features.

The building part deserves one star. One of the most aggravating features in the building aspect is the inability to just pick up and move the start point of an item to a new section. For example: when laying pipes. You select a starting point, drag out the pipe, then click to end. Instead of being able to pick up and select a new starting point, it forces you to lay pipe from the stop point. Not only that, but wherever your cursor moves, the pipe drags along behind. In order to stop this from happening, you have to select a different building icon, then come back to the pipe icon. I tried to leave a video of this issue, but, for some reason, I don't have an "add video" option for this.

Another area that's aggravating are the little bubbles icons that pop up over the buildings. Some are self-explanatory (water/electricity needed), but some, you need to figure out by just hoping that an explanation will pop up if you hover over it, or just at a random interval. For example, I didn't realize that the skull/crossbones meant that people were dying and that they needed another cemetery or crematorium. I thought they simply needed another hospital. Nope.

Also, the power plants don't seem to provide the needed electricity. For example, I put in a hydroelectric facility but no power reached my cities. I added some electric power lines, but it just kept giving me symbols for not being connected. When that failed, I tried a solar power plant. That provided some power, but didn't seem to work for larger spaces. My best option, other than choking my citizens with a high-polluting plant, was to place wind generators everywhere.

It took me a really long time to figure out how to mark the settings to unlimited money, which when playing this is really needed because you run out of cash very fast otherwise.

Overall, the graphics are the best thing about this PC game. The rest takes a huge learning curve and makes game play irritating rather than fun.

3 stars for needing steam

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

Haven't played yet but reviewing due to the fact they require you to have a Steam account, which is well known for having the worst cyber security out of any gaming platform. I frequently bear of people having their account hacked and security features being bypassed with games people connect to steam as steam bypasses security protocols.

Sure the game is great. Finally have a desktop that will be able to handle it. Not happy about needing steam though. Would much prefer a disk/usb
