I grew up in the 90s playing SimCity 2000, but never picked any of the newer titles. A forum friend suggested Cities, so I explored it. It's clear the latest version has changed significantly from the old ones... but it's Cities: Skylines. I bought it. I'm really enjoying it. I'm on my second city because I gave the first one a try after about 15 minutes. hahah. My second one is running smoothly. There are so many details and options to manage. Keeping up with all the features can be challenging. The graphics are impressive, though. I'm playing on my child's computer (not compatible with my laptop) and it has an R9 290, so everything runs at full capacity. Scrolling, zooming, and moving around feel very fluid. Nice!
I checked for compatible mods that support achievements alongside DLC, but none function properly after the After Dark update.
This title stands apart from SimCity in many ways. Its scale allows construction up to nine tiles (with mods reaching twenty-five), its performance is impressive, and the management simulations are truly remarkable. Still, I believe SimCity offers some disaster mechanics for city destruction that Skylines lacks. The game’s appeal really comes from its vibrant community on Steam. Add-ons enhance it significantly, turning it into a much richer experience. Keep in mind it’s not a simple game—successful city management requires careful planning of public services, roads, housing, industry, etc. Or you can just appreciate the chaos of traffic. I suggest checking reviews or gameplay videos to see why I fell in love with it. Sorry for the late response, and thank you for asking about it.
