- Cities: Skylines II
- Expansion Pass
Raise a city from the ground up and transform it into the thriving metropolis only you can imagine. You've never experienced building on this scale. With deep simulation and a living economy, Cities: Skylines II delivers world-building without limits.
Lay the foundations for your city to begin. Create the roads, infrastructure, and systems that make life possible day to day. It's up to you – all of it.
How your city grows is your call too, but plan strategically. Every decision has an impact. Can you energize local industries while also using trade to boost the economy? What will make residential districts flourish without killing the buzz downtown? How will you meet the needs and desires of citizens while balancing the city's budget?
Your city never rests. Like any living, breathing world, it changes over time. Some changes will be slow and gradual, while others will be sudden and unexpected. So while seasons turn and night follows day, be ready to act when life doesn't go to plan.
The most realistic and detailed city builder ever, Cities: Skylines II pushes your creativity and problem-solving to another level. With beautifully rendered high-resolution graphics, it also inspires you to build the city of your dreams.
AI and intricate economics mean your choices ripple through the fabric of the city. Remember that as you strategize, problem-solve, and react to change, challenges, and opportunities.
Cities: Skylines II lets you create without compromise. Now you can build sky-high and sprawl across the map like never before. Why not? Your city is you.
Your decisions shape each citizen's life path, a chain of events that defines who they are. From love and loss to wealth and wellbeing, follow their life's ups and downs.
Pick a map to set the climate of your city. These are the natural forces you'll negotiate to expand your city amid rising pollution, changeable weather, and seasonal challenges.

rtx 3060ti and i5-13600kf and it´s so close. The optimization of this game it´s worst than the first version of cyberpunk, i can´t understand why you can sell this game when it´s clearly unfinished. I hope new upgrades can solve this problems.
- better than skylines 1

Doesn't work anymore for me. You could say that there's a 50% probability that it doesn't start.
The Paradox Forum where you report bugs wouldn't work for me either but there are already more than enough crash reports that are now months old, but the devs are still doing nothing about it.

Amazing game. You can build everything in your own way and you can imagine your ideal city.
The game is far from its perfect form as DLC will come in the future. Paradox always find a way to keep the standards high.

It's piece of crap to be honest. It's ten times worse than Cities Skylines 1. Performance is even worst than gameplay itself. Do not buy if you don't have monster PC . Most of the content is copy paste from Cities Skylines 1. Obviousle mechanics are redesigned but you still feel like it's not a game from 2023.

This game is pretty amazing. I loved the mechanics, designs, and the overall goal of the game. If you bought the original standard version, instant gaming was also pretty nice enough to give you the landmarks pass along with it!! However, the only issue I see is performance. I have a quad intel i3 11th gen cpu with Intel UHD graphics and 8 gb of ram. Even starting off, I get 16 fps. Please make sure your pc can run it. It also requires 60 gb of storage.

Overall as of February 11, 2024, this game is underwhelming in terms of features and creativity. This game also has a lot of bugs that need to be addressed. The land value bug is #1 on this list of bug fixes. The lack of props in this game hinders creativity. As of writing this, there are only trees and some bushes in the game. Unlike SC1 where the base game has trees, rocks, and different pathways. SC2 feels like a beta where things from vanilla SC1 are out do those in vanilla SC2. This game has a lot of catch-up to do before it can take on the role of SC1. I would say to wait until later this year before buying this game due to how incomplete it is. For more information on bug and issues and overall game play, check out City Planner Plays or Biffa Plays Indie Games.

Good game but it needs some fine-tuning. The performance needs work and needs some mods to make the game more enjoyable. Need a high-end PC if you want the graphics on high. Been some updates since the release which have made some improvements but still a long way to go.

After enjoying my time with CS1, the anticipation for its sequel was high, and I'm pleased that it was released on time. Taking it for a spin, I'm ready to share my perspective.
In terms of performance, as many have rightfully noted, it's not currently at its peak. However, this, for me, isn't a deal-breaker. Adjusting the quality and fps, the game performs decently. It's not the type of game that hinges on perfect graphics—at least, that's a concession I can make while awaiting potential improvements in this area. Nonetheless, the graphics represent a clear upgrade from CS1, with subtle touches that enhance the overall realism.
What stands out most for me is the inclusion of numerous improvements that, in CS1, required mods. It's to be appreciated when a development team actively engages with user experience, identifies community-appreciated features, and incorporates these enhancements, particularly from the version one, without relying on DLCs or the like.
In all honesty, let's acknowledge that even CS1, after a few DLCs and mods, tended to run on the slower side. CS2, on the other hand, encompasses most of the elements I used to integrate into my gameplay through roughly 30 mods.
In conclusion, I believe the game merits a thumbs-up even in its current phase, with the potential for further enhancements.
P.S. If optimal performance is paramount to your enjoyment, it might be worth holding off for a bit. If not, I'm confident you'll find enjoyment in it, much like I have.

- Includes features that in CS1 were DLCs or MODs!
- More realistic and better than CS1, clearly
- Huge potential
- Performance still to be optimised
- Small bugs here and there
- Economy stil needs improvements

Generally, this is a fun game to play. It has a lot of improvements from its predecessor and I like the more realistic visuals. The game has a high hardware requirement and the optimization is still in progress, but the devs are open and informative about these issues.
- New and refreshing game mechanics
- More flexibilities than the previous game
- Minimum requirement is high
- Currently lacks detailing

It is even without mods a substantial upgrade to CS1.
The scale is much more realistic and the map feels really large.
Now that the performance issue has been fixed (atleast for me) I can only recommend the game.

- Better Scale
- Map feels really large

- Might run bad on lower end PC's
- Not a lot to unlock (in the techtree)
- Variety of Assets is really bad

Game is not optimized well for launch. I'd probably recommend it based off of the 5 hours I have played so far once they fix a lot of the issues. For right now I would hold off because you won't get your money's worth.

- Smooth building
- Badly optimized gameplay
- Low FPS
