Cities: Skylines is mostly good as a) a traffic and transit simulator, and b) a sandbox game for using mods to create beautiful urban artwork. Public services and pollution, in particular, are basically skeletons without any real depth to them, and they have considerably less depth than SC4.

Unfortunately, traffic management is the only part of the game that really holds up as a simulator. Part of the fun of Skylines is just how cool your city looks. There are a few areas that need improving and others that are crying out to be expanded upon, but those will come in due course, and what’s already there lets you build vast cities to your heart’s content.> Despite the name, Skylines is really a traffic management game more than anything else.
