"Raising the Bar: A Critical Review of Cities: Skylines 2"

Cities: Skylines 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular city-building game, offers some improvements in resource management and detailed simulation of individuals. However, it falls short in terms of control options and lacks significant additions compared to the original game and its DLC. The game's limited policies and lack of variety in building options may disappoint players who are familiar with the original. While it is an engaging city builder, it is recommended primarily for those who do not already own the original game.
