Cities: Skylines has quickly become one of the most popular games on PC. Built by a team of fewer than a dozen people, and priced at $29.99, it is very well one of the most pleasant surprises in gaming history.
There are a lot of reasons Cities: Skylines is impressive. Instead of trying to explain it to you with words, we’ve decided to show you 10 user-taken screenshots so that you can see for yourself.
Metropolis
You definitely couldn’t make this in SimCity (2013).
Spiral Bridge
I feel like driving up it.
Cruise Ship
“Just dropping in to say hi!”
Airplane Dance
Practicing for the upcoming air show.
Custom-Made Paradise
You can make beautiful landscapes such as this in the editor. Anyone for a swim?
Firefighter
Fires don’t put themselves out.
Tidy City
With some structure cities sure can look good.
Walkway
Yes, that’s from in-game.
Downtown
The colors, Duke, the colors!
Los Santos
You’re seeing correctly. The entirety of Los Santos has been recreated in Cities: Skylines. You can download it here.
