LGR - Cities Skylines II Review
Added 2023-11-01 01:46:36 +0000 UTCAhh, 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 :)

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.

2023-11-02 07:48:52 +0000 UTCIt's bizarre some of the things that aren't optimized. Like how each pedestrian is made up of ~40,000 polygons and LODs aren't working... the people have more "detail" than the skyscrapers!
