Ahh, finally the sequel to this long-running simulation game from the mid 2010s! If we're lucky maybe that *other* sim game from back then gets supplanted sometime soon too, cuz boy have I gotten tired of covering expansion packs to these things.

But yeah, Cities Skylines 2! It’s a game that irritates, amuses, confuses, impresses, falls short, compels, and repels with its mishmash of great ideas and wonky execution. I have some thoughts on this one, so... here's a review!

Really curious to see what happens with this one over the next year or so, I think it has the potential to be the best in the entire genre. But boy there sure is a lot more to iron out than I'd hoped.

Onto November then! $5+ patrons can expect the next LGR Wrap Up video here in the coming days, and the next main video will be a bit of a simpler one since I have have several beefier projects in the pipeline that require the majority of my time. Gonna be a fun end to the year I hope :)

LGR - Cities Skylines 2 Review

Reviewing the long-awaited sequel! Is Cities Skylines II worth the upgrade? Lots of fresh features, quality of life improvements, and logical additions make CS2 feel like a proper evolution. But there's a weird amount of stuff currently worse than before, or missing outright. So let's dive into my first impressions and all the details! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● PC specs: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-core CPU 128GB (4 x 32GB) DDR4-3600 RAM 16GB Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 OC GPU @ 2520MHz 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD Windows 11 Pro ● Music licensed from Epidemic Sound: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #CitiesSkylines #Review

I like watching the production of simulated life and environments, but I would never play, it stresses me out.

This is the state of the video game industry. Push out a half-assed product and attempt to fix it along the way. Meanwhile nickel and diming the consumer with DLCs.

Yeah I get that, it's a lot to handle! I find it to be a de-stresser myself, but that's possibly because I've played city sims my whole life and it's oddly comforting to solve all the problems.
