Title: Cities: Skylines II lands on Steam, welcomed with mixed reviews
Post by: Redaktion on October 25, 2023, 14:11:15
Yesterday, Cities: Skylines II arrived on Steam, but is also scheduled to hit consoles next year. Released 8 years after its predecessor, this title already amassed over 8,500 reviews, of which 48% are positive. Sadly, most complaints highlight technical issues such as low framerates even on high-end PCs.

The performance is poor.

It's crazy how many games target pretty high recommended specs and yet they still manage to be poorly optimized, unpolished and unfinished. The state of today's gaming industry where you release something broken and then do patch after patch after patch... for years. Meh.

I play actively only Age of Empires 2 DE, CS2 and Battlebit (literally the only games in my Steam library), no other game was able to suit my taste for more than 1 hour top but this one looks very nice and interesting and it's something I wouldn't mind to try when that 50/90€ price drops 40% or so, even though the older I get that more I like games inspired by those games from the 90s, such as this one from my wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1274600/The_Last_Faith/ 😺
