I hate having to open this review by dragging the game's technical state, because when Cities: Skylines 2 sings, it really sings. Developer Colossal Order itself has acknowledged that this launch is not up to snuff and promised further improvements over time, but it's going to take a lot of improvement to get this sim into an acceptable form. Platform(s): PC (Xbox Series X and PS5, TBA 2024)įor all practical purposes, Cities: Skylines 2 is an early access game – an in-development product that you should only invest in if you're patient and optimistic enough to wait for it to improve over time.
