About the game
A city-building simulation where you lay roads on empty land and zone residential, commercial and industrial areas to grow your city. You have to take care of traffic flow, power and water, garbage and public services for your population to grow. One of the game's great joys is the moment you fix a jammed intersection and traffic starts flowing smoothly. A sequel, Cities: Skylines II, is also out, but the first game, with its wealth of content and mods, is still widely played.
Why we recommend it
Designing everything yourself, from a single road to an entire metropolis, is deeply rewarding, and Steam Workshop mods keep it fun for a long time.
Good for — Great for: anyone who loves planning, tweaking and growing something big themselves
