    Love how it looks! I never played Skylines 1 after I got a bit of wary advice from friends on the jankiness/need for QOL mods, but I think I’m going to take a shot with 2!

    This looks so good man. As someone who used to play Cities Skylines in console and then in PC, I’m very excited to get my hands on this once it comes out. That is, if the game is actually stable at launch xd. Can’t be trustful these days with how triple A gaming has gotten.

    This is the one for me. Hope it keeps most of what CS1 has and doesn’t sell them back as expansions a year from now. That and better public transport management (which seems to be a thing here) + mixed zoning would make this perfect in my eyes.

    I’ve many hours sunk into Cities Skylines, excited for 2.

    I’m hoping for better traffic AI to prevent all cars using one lane on the 6 lane freeway, a better services routing algorithm (i.e. send a garbage truck only from the same district rather than the other side of town), and moar transit options (like timetables for routes, dynamic platform signage etc…)

    Looks like they baked in a lot of the Quality of Life mods from the first game. Looking forward to picking this up!

    I’m a bit bummed that I’ll start my Bachelor in CS program before I get to play this, but on the bright side in a few short years when I hopefully get my degree the modding scene for this game would have matured and I would imagine there would be quite a few DLCs out by then too so it’s a tradeoff.

      The most important thing was confirmed in interviews at least: They’ll focus on making traffic management less tedious. Cities Skylines 1 always turned into an urban nightmare simulator in the late-game where you had to constantly manage roads and traffic.

      So pretty much everything looks good. Can’t wait for this one!
