| Highways: the veins of modern society. |
Cities: Skylines
Platform:
PC
Who:
You the omnipotent city planner, Birds-eye.
What:
Highway-based city building within a square area. Build roads, walkways, rails, etc. and zone areas for construction. Place civic buildings.
When:
Released March 2015.
Where:
Nicely crafted (river) settings with pre-placed highways and railways.
Why:
SimCity2013 was bad.
Significance:
An increased building area combined with a well-made traffic system make this the game SimCity was supposed to be.
Pros:
Population is the most accurate in a game to date. The large construction area can make for quite rewarding scenes and screenshots. Just enough challenge to keep your attention. Volumetric water flow mechanics. Mods help fill the holes and persuade the developer to keep adding to the game.
Cons:
Resource-based economy is mostly for show only. People do not require food to survive. Nature feels like a low priority. Slightly imbalanced early and late game.
