So I was content to “enjoy” the game vicariously through friends and angry op-eds. So let’s pit Cities: Skylines directly against the most recent SimCity game and pretend the outcome isn’t going to be obvious.ĭisclosure: At the time, I really didn’t see a need to pay $60 USD to play SimCity when everyone seemed to be saying the exact same things about it. But this isn’t a review and we can do what we like. If Shoot Guy V: Shoot More Bullets is a good game, it doesn’t seem fair to spend the entire review talking about (say) The Last of Us.

Our own Jonathan Bolding gave the game a glowing review.įor reasons not worth talking about, it’s usually considered bad form to compare games in a review. It’s getting a really positive reception. It’s broken the publisher’s sales records. Cities: Skylines seems to be doing pretty well for itself.
