Create your cities the way you want them to be!
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.
Game rating: 10/10
Pros:
- Ridiculously huge area for your city to expand - but you start small (logically, of course)
- Is completely offline - this is one major qualm I had with SimCity 4
- Allows district creations by setting up policies
You can establish district policies to convert whole neighbourhoods into a place for poorer people to go to or even a Beverly Hills-like place for the famous and the rich. How? Well, for starters, you can easily adjust the tax rates for different districts, and also various other policies like smoking zones, recycling, high rise buildings and many many others! You can also assign specialisations to different industrial districts, allowing them to focus in farming, logging, oil and ore mining or general industry!

- You can even regulate which roads that different types of vehicles can use.
For instance, you can ban industrial vehicles on a highly congested road, though you should remember to build an alternative path for them to use.
|
- Sandbox and unlimited money modes - let your creativity run free!
- First person experience (via a game mod)
You can walk the streets of your beautifully-built city and enjoy the view from a first person perspective. It's not perfect, but it's superbly cool!
|
- Fully working editor and you can download the creations of other city builders on the Steam workshop to your game
- Understand the needs of your citizens via the Chirper, something like an in-game Twitter feed.
Cons:
- No tutorials, so it's not exactly very newbie-friendly. However, if you had any experience with SimCity or any city-building game, you should be fine!
- Building roads that works for the vehicles in the city can be a challenge
You'll probably be facing a lot of problems with unattended trash and building fires, not because you failed to build that excessive 5th incinerator or fire station next to that part of the city, but it's more to which road the vehicles took. The 'pathfinding' for the vehicles in this game seem kinda broken in this respect.
|
- Lack of day/night cycle - which will likely be implemented in the future
Meh:
- No disasters or giant monster attacks that you can trigger - uh, coz you're not a 'god' in the game I suppose
