Cities: Skylines 2 has lofty ambitions. Several interlocking systems come together to convince you that this isn’t just a city-building game, but a way to build lively neighbourhoods full of small stories and intertwining threads. There’s a lot to love here, and if you fall for it, you’ll be hooked for a long time.
I had sky-high expectations for Cities: Skylines 2, and they were largely met. The larger scale, satisfying progression system, more realistic cities, improved AI and an extremely well-reformed road system have me completely hooked by this game. Unfortunately, there are also some negatives, which fortunately did not hinder my enjoyment. This will definitely be a regular on my PC for the next five years.

To move forward, sometimes you first have to take a step back. Colossal Order is laying a foundation that it can build on for years to come, but currently has its own predecessor as its main competitor.
There’s still work to be done, but Cities Skylines 2 is an impressive improvement over the original. Its systems work together seamlessly, and you have more control over how your city develops without it feeling overwhelming or intimidating. It's a shame some features like green building are gone, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Colossal Order keeps building Skylines 2 in the future.
Cities Skylines 2 is an outstanding transportation simulation, but as a city-building game it still doesn't feel as polished as its predecessor.
It is pointless to spend your time on Cities: Skylines 2 in its current state. Developers should decide what is really important — fixing the game or releasing DLCs.
Cities: Skylines 2 offers the foundation of a world-class city-building game, with a wide array of features, smart quality-of-life improvements, and a genuinely impressive simulation to help bring your town to life. But its promise is completely overshadowed by its technical problems, dragging a fantastic core experience down into frustration and disappointment.
Have had some little stutters here and there on low settings with a 1080 graphics card, but is still playable. Hoping things will improve once they release the optimization patches. Still recommend the game in it's current state as they at least told us in advance that the game was going to play rough at the start because they didn't want to delay it further, and I trust them to fix the issues in future patches to get the game where they want it to be.

I mean, it's not bad! I have a mid-range PC and get 30 FPS consistently.
Most of the negative reception this game recieves comes from two sources:
- Bad Performance Speed
The game completely tanks in speed around 90,000. Not to defend CO, but the original Cities Skylines had the number of people the game rendered stuck at 65,000, so instead of slowing down at 90,000, the city simply became empty
- No Mods/Assets
This one's indefensible, it's a baffling choice for a game that depends on mods as much as CS. It's the reason why people call CS2 feature-sparce: CS2 stock has less assets than their 1,000 asset setup.
Overall, I'd say that CS2 is better than the original stock w/ DLCs, but has a long way to go before it surpasses the original with mods.

This game was hyped so high. Cities: Skylines 1 was an outstanding game that buried Sim City 2013, yet CS2 has been a buggy mess, paradox keep claiming they'll fix it but yet barely anything has happened, mods havent been brought out yet and even when they will, its gonna be paradoxes own modding system which is stupid, they have the balls to announce a dlc when they haven't fixed the core game, it should never have been released in this state
i wouldn;t recommend buying yet

Cities Skylines || hat eine echt schlechte Performance und hat leider keinen Mod Support wie derVorgänger. Sonst nervt es noch dass du tausende Einfamilienhäuser bauen musst bevor du überhaupt große Häuser bauen kannst. Ich würde eindeutig Cities Skylines | empfehlen.
