Game Information:
Introduction:
City Skylines II is an incredible game where you have to build a city with limited resources and money, with issues like water output, energy power, and the worst of all… HUMAN WASTE! There are many more needs that I will mention in the Strengths and even maybe the Weaknesses section of this article… The insane attention to detail in this game makes it incomparable to other city-building games like Pocket City (Although it is a very good mobile game try it out!) and City Skylines I. (Literally just an outdated version of the game I’m reviewing right now…)
Gameplay Overview:
Building your own city is so fun and weirdly satisfying! You have to make and manage a city ALL by YOURSELF… But when you build roads of a certain type, there are these massive plots by the side where you can build buildings of your choice to even out the demand and the endless flow of people! If you’re getting the game, make sure not to build houses or any other non-waterproof houses and buildings directly beside the lake since the water physics and mechanics are DEADLY against buildings! (It causes water damage and kills the building completely 😮)
Strengths:
The breathtaking graphics are amazing and enhance the gameplay hugely while also not lagging my computer! Yes, even if you have a mountain the size of K2 (A mountain, by the way, guys) full of poop water. And YES, even if you RELEASE all that sewage water, it will only lag your computer a tiny bit! Yes, that was very specific, but stay with me here! The gameplay is a bit difficult but fun. Also, the tutorial is insanely good and taught me all of the mechanics, but I learnt most from YouTube!
Weaknesses:
The shaders of the game can bug bridges out and leave holes in them (I think it’s already fixed by the time you’re reading this, though). Another disadvantage is that the gameplay can be quite confusing when you first start off, but you can ease into it pretty quickly. OMG, I forgot to mention this sooner, but the game does cost $50 if you don’t have the Xbox Game Pass! The game uses up 60 GB of data, which is about… A LOT! Verdict:
This game is a very amazing game that while good, is also quite expensive and large in Gigabytes.
Now it’s time for the amazing rating 🎉9.15/10 This game is groundbreaking, but I haven’t played it enough!
