You have to think about water and electricity and this will require thinking about piping under the roads or city and more. Thankfully the tutorial is detailed and there’s always a popup to help if you’re stuck.īuilding your city is a lot of fun but you need to keep a lot of things in mind. When you start out with just a blank slate more or less, even just moving around to place roads will be a learning experience. Well, outside of the fact that there’s no quick access to inspect (I couldn’t figure this out). Zooming happens with the triggers and after a little while, everything feels natural. You will be using the analog sticks and d pad a lot. I recommend just spending the first hour or so just getting used to the controls here. Some games get it right like Divinity: Original Sin while others don’t scale as well in the case of Wasteland 2.Ĭontrols are great for the most part. So when Cities: Skylines was announced, I was pretty excited to play it on Xbox and see how the interface and gameplay transitioned to a controller.
In recent years, the likes of Wasteland, Divinity, Tropico, and even Diablo have made their way to both PS4 and Xbox One. This generation has seen a lot of PC only games or genres that were PC specific like CRPGs make their way to consoles. There’s a lot of good news and some bad news with this port from Paradox Interactive and Tantalus Media.
I can’t imagine anything out there right now that comes close to Cities.
It has been more than two years since Cities: Skylines released and took over the city building genre.
