Best city builder out there, but really needs better options for non American style cities that are more walkable and leverage transit more. This game is far too car centric unfortunately, which ruins immersion a bit for non Americans.

Tried Cities 2 but never understood the difference. I think its worth just to play this one instead. Much of the DLC should be just bundled together with a good discount. As base game feels a bit missing on content.

better than cities 2, main problem is half the content is locked behind a paywall of dlcs :( I bought almost all the dlc, and its very very good, I do recommend (Only ones I didn't buy were the ccps and sunset harbor). ALSO WHY CAN'T THERE BE A STUPID WALK MODE ON PC VERSION!!!!!!! >( >( >(
