Cities Skylines
SCORE: 73
I like city builder video games. I love it
when they are ported over to the consoles. Cities Skylines started out
on the PC, and was ported over to the PS4 and Xbox One. I am thankful
Family Friendly Gaming had the money to purchase this game on the Xbox
One. The PR and Marketing people failed us totally in regards to this
game.
In terms of the different city builder games Cities Skylines does some
interesting things. It also fails on some notes as well. The controls
are not intuitive and can be confusing to figure out at first. The
tutorial is sort of helpful at times. Other times it just gets in the
way, or does not bother to explain something really important.
Cities Skylines looks decent and it sounds good. The graphics are on the
small side, even when we zoom in all the way. It can be a pain to have
to set up the water and electricity in Cities Skylines. Other city
builders make this part of the game easier. Cities Skylines wants the
player to micro manage every single aspect of the town building. Be
careful of the money situation in Cities Skylines. Even on the easiest
setting there is not a lot of money at first. You can have unlimited
funds but won’t earn any trophies if you do so. How lame is that? I
failed the first couple of times and learned to start small.
Cities Skylines is really limited in the options department. The control
set up is not intelligent at all. There are only twelve maps to play on
in Cities Skylines. I feel Cities Skylines is worth fifteen dollars
brand new. Anything above that I worry you will not get your moneys
worth. If you get into Cities Skylines and spend the time then you can
have some fun.
I hope to see more city builders come out soon. Cities Skylines could
have been done better. Mods are allowed on this game on the consoles so
that is pretty cool. I semi enjoyed my time with this game.
