Cities: Skylines Reviews
Cities: Skylines Xbox One Edition was great and I couldn't imagine a more perfect version of a city builder for the console.
The best city builder since Sim City 4

If you love taking charge, want to manage worlds, balance budgets and take on a heavy load in your quest to become god, then this is the game for you.
Finally, Xbox One players have the chance to enjoy one of the finest city builders released last year. The conversion is excellent, and almost indistinguishable from the PC version. The After Dark expansion is included in the game, but the two DLCs (Snowfall and Natural Disasters) are not.

Cities: Skylines comes highly recommended.
A handful of flaws, but this fun and addictive city-builder still climbs high.
I hope every building simulator fan out there gives this DLC a try because it's jam-packed with considerations to be made definitely worth investigating!
Cities: Skylines is all about building huge, bustling cities, but they don't need us to save them from disaster.
True to its PC reputation, Cities: Skylines is the best city-builder out there today
Cities: Skylines isn't without its flaws, but even the things wrong with it add to its charm. It might not be that much of a challenge, but it delivers on the glee of expansion.
If you harbour even the slightest desire to build then you have to experience Cities: Skylines. It provides most of the complexity of Maxis' 2013 Sim City but isn't bogged down with restrictive city size and a focus on co-operative building. The customisation and mods will keep this game alive for a long, long time and Colossal Order are due great praise for their embracing user created content.
Still one of the best games in the genre, Cities: Skylines – Xbox One Edition, is the best city sim on consoles.
Cities: Skylines is the city-building game we all wanted, but never got -- until now.
There's already a decent roster of maps, ready-made cities, building designs and more to download, and the game's not even hit the shelves yet. It's a sign that Colossal Order cottons on to the reason people like these city-building games; they want freedom, not restriction, streamlined, easy to use systems, not needless complexity. In that sense, Cities: Skylines is a resounding success. In summary - here's the city-builder you've been waiting for. Enjoy.
Colossal Order has created one of the most enjoyable city builders in recent memory and despite its small budget, Cities: Skylines celebrates the joy of building in enjoyable fashion.
From the moment you start building your city, you'll have to renounce the next few hours of your life to this game. Cities: Skylines allows it's players to create any city they want - whether it's a utopia or a dystopia is really up to you.
Cities: Skylines is a great, solid city builder and while it could still use a bit of polishing off, I will be spending hours playing around with it. A lot of hard work has clearly gone into focusing on small details to make a real complex, challenging and fun experience.
Until you've seen it, it's impossible to understand the scale at which a game like Cities: Skylines exists. Even starting a new city in a small area seems like an insurmountable task. The complexity of the controls and decisions at your behest seem unlearnable. But these things don't mean the game isn't a ton of fun.
It may not be a gem for everyone since it does require a lot of self-motivation and self-direction for a sandbox genre, but If you are a city builder with determination and organization, this is the game for you.
In conclusion, Cities: Skylines fills the void that the recent Sim City failed to live up to, and even with its short comings, it is a good city-building game and is one of the best in recent years.
