Cities: Skylines II

Reviewers praised Cities: Skylines as a return to form for city builders, highlighting its large maps, natural resource management, and progression systems. Many critics found it a worthy successor to SimCity, with an approachable interface and intricate mechanics.

Many players appreciate the new development team's efforts to fix bugs and add quality-of-life features, but others are still frustrated by performance issues, broken mechanics like traffic AI, and the high cost of DLC that feels like it should be in the base game.
