Cities: Skylines

It's been some time since I've played this game. I open the game up and I'm bombard with legal agreements and an account creation prompt. I go through the policies and go to the home menu and I'm locked out of my save! I bought this game when it first released and there was no account needed. why am I being forced to give you all my data just to play a game I paid for before this ridiculous requirement.

❌错误的玩法：认真搞城建，为人民服务 ✅正确的玩法：恒大集团，空城计

Spiritual successor of Sim City after the death of maxis and or the beginning of the EA apocalypse. Still alive and flourishing even after all this time. Mods for ages. Works great on my machine despite how old it is by now. 90 hours so far maybe another 90 in the coming month or so. Honestly I don't know if buying the sequel might be a good investment but if it doesn't pan out I can always come back to this gem.

Comparing it to Tropico 6, a dictator game I 100%ed with city management, politics, economy and public relations, I feel like Tropico 6 did a better job at maintaining interactions with the game via events, control and ambiance. While Tropico 6 had tropical music that makes you feel like a dictator of Carrabean islands, this? I actually don't even remember hearing a single music, it was almost silence broken by Twitter notifications that barely added to the ambiance with a lot of annoying notifications about new buildings I couldn't build because they were too expansive or near useless to build THAT early... I got it for 90% off and feel scammed. Yes I understand this game is much more focused on growth, city planning and traffic management but it wasn't enjoyable at all to me in contrast to Tropico's management. 10/10 will be a dictator of Carribean islands before giving it an other go. Maybe crabs are better building tropical paradise than primitive human cities? XD

This is an excellent city builder that excels at giving players the tools to create sprawling, beautiful urban landscapes. More than anything, the game appeals to those who enjoy designing and refining cities, whether that's constructing picturesque neighborhoods, efficient downtown districts, or massive transportation networks. Beneath the creative freedom lies a surprisingly engaging management game. Planning road layouts, balancing infrastructure needs, and building public transportation systems that can handle a growing population presents a constant series of interesting challenges. Watching a city evolve from a small town into a bustling metropolis is immensely satisfying. The game's biggest weakness is also tied to its greatest strength: its sandbox nature. Since there is no real fail state and few concrete objectives beyond those players set for themselves, progress can occasionally feel abstract or lacking purpose. For some, this freedom is liberating; for others, it can make long-term goals feel less meaningful. Where the game truly stands out is its incredible attention to detail. Individual citizens can be followed throughout their daily routines, emergency services respond dynamically to incidents, and there are even occasional social media-style messages from residents. These small touches create the feeling that you're not just building roads and buildings, but managing a living, breathing community. For players who enjoy creativity, urban planning, and watching complex systems interact, this is one of the finest city-building experiences available.

forces you to download some jewish third party launcher which never used to be the case probably spyware. it also forces you to read some terms of service or something which say something about that the jewish developers own you and that you will get sacrificed to baal if you break the terms of service and some talmud quotes i dont recommend.

bad game, bad update, modders did more to fix it than devs
