CITIES SKYLINES REVIEW PORTABLE

More portable than ever, the new Nintendo Switchв„ў Edition of this best-selling city builder comes complete with reworked UI, designed especially for Switch, along with two of Cities: SkylinesвЂ™ most popular expansions - After Dark and Snowfall. Boasting fully realized transport and economy systems, Cities: Skylines is designed to suit any play style - and now, anytime, anywhere. With original gameplay to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city. This game is something that will be played by fans of the genre for many months or years to come I know the hours IвЂ™ve put in haveВ been an absolute joy.Cities: Skylines is a modern take on a classic city builder. ItвЂ™s one of the few that will successfully be considered one of the best because its base game is already rock solid, and the community will continue to make it better. Not one week later and the community had already given players that option, and thatвЂ™s what impressed me so much вЂ“В by how a fanbase can help make a game such an enjoyable experience.Д¬ities: Skyline is a hallmark for a fantastic modern city simulator. The ability for the community to add modifications to the game long after itвЂ™s been released is an unbelievably amazing feature, as itвЂ™s remedied one of the first things I had wished the game had: the ability to be on the streets of my city and look around as a citizen. The last interesting feature that IвЂ™ve dabbled withВ is the Steam Workshop. Not having enough space was one of the biggest flaws with Sim City, and being able to build adjacent land to expand is the best solution to deal with this. By expanding land it gives a huge canvas for the player to plan out the design of their cities without having spatial limitations. You unlock more districts such as oil, ore and loggingВ districts by increasing the population in the town, just like most unlockables in theВ game.ДЄnother really interesting feature is the ability to purchase adjacent land a much better way to deal with expansions, rather than creating new cities altogether, like in Sim City. ItвЂ™s something that I havenвЂ™tВ seen in Sim City or its previous iteration, and it adds a new flavour of variety toВ buildings and infrastructure. One of my favourite additions to the game is the district tool, which allows budding Mayors to make certain areas specialised: for example, adding industry zones to farming districts causes wineries, farms and the like to form, instead of the standard factory industrial buildings. SkylineВ does a lot more in order to manage finances and services and thatвЂ™s somethingВ that was lacking from Sim City. The ability to manage how much money should beВ allocated to the different services throughout the city, to cut down or toВ ease with the growing demands, can also be dealt with by using вЂpoliciesвЂ™В that place boundaries on the townspeople in exchange for use of the town funds. This micro-management of finances gives so much more freedom ofВ choice and allow players to really get into the gritty of being more of a Mayor thanВ just a God creator like in Sim City. Skyline reintroduced something Sim City removed from their latest game: taxes and budgets. Paradox InteractiveвЂ™s Cities: Skyline is something to behold. The game has the same mechanics as Sim City:В youВ build your roads, residential zones, industrial zones, and commercialВ zones and you add the extra facilities like water, electricity, sewerage, police andВ the like, in order to keep order in your town and make your residents happy вЂ“В thisВ is where things change from Sim City.Д«e wary: I will be making parallels with Sim City because thatвЂ™s what this game is succeeding from.

You crawl to it and gently touch it suddenly, your world changes: buildings erupt from the ground, flowers and trees spring to life, clouds clear theВ sky, and the sun shines on you.Д¬ities: Skyline is the game that wipes the tears from fans of Sim CityВ and provides aВ truly exciting change, giving players a lot more fun and freedom than Sim City. Shaking off the dust, you look at it andВ remember the cataclysmic events that led to the end of Maxis and you shed a tear.В Wiping your eyes, you notice a gleam off in the distance from the ruins and you see it. In a desolate ruined Maxis HQ, you trudge through the remains, looking at their legacyВ ashened, andВ see their final work: Sim City.
