Cities: Skylines II
About Cities: Skylines II
Cities: Skylines II is Colossal Order's deep city-building and management simulation, a sequel to the first game (2015). Players build a city from scratch, meeting the population's needs through road/infrastructure planning, zoning, tax policy, and public transit networks. Compared to the first game, it offers a far more detailed economic simulation, improved traffic AI, and a level of simulation depth where each individual citizen has their own needs and happiness. Though it faced criticism over performance issues at launch, it retains the potential to be one of the deepest simulations in the city-building genre through subsequent optimization updates.
