About
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new gameplay elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city while expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience. You're only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky! Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor of your city you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements such as education, water, electricity, police, fire fighting, healthcare, and much more along with your city's real economy system. Cities: Skylines was published by Paradox Interactive and developed by Colossal Order Ltd. It was released on December 17, 2020. The game is available as a single-player experience. It falls into the strategy, city builder, and simulation genres. The main story in Cities: Skylines can be completed in approximately 26 hours. If you include all extras, the playtime increases to around 56 hours. A completionist playthrough of the game will take roughly 156 hours.Read moreShow less

Cities: Skylines Critic Reviews and Review Scores
EurogamerDaniel Starkey
That distinction between the two doesn't retroactively make SimCity a better game. A failure is still a failure. It does, however distinguish a visionary-but-broken game and one that works enough to please an itch without pushing boundaries. Skylines is a merely competent game that's smart enough to let the community innovate for it. All its problems and all its genuine innovation will come from the creative ambition of its players. It's comforting in a way, because with that you feel that you share your struggles with a larger community, but there's still the nagging feeling Cities: Skylines lacks a magic of its own.

Cities: Skylines is all about building huge, bustling cities, but they don't need us to save them from disaster.

A handful of flaws, but this fun and addictive city-builder still climbs high.
