Cities: Skylines - SimCity 2013 done right
Cities: Skylines is basically a Sim City 2013 clone but without all the things that made Sim City 2013 a flop like DRM and small city sizes. The game is looking really great. Its releasing March 10th and will be priced at $30. Its very pretty:  https://www.paradoxplaza.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/c/i/cities070414_0033_layer-31.png (Unsupported image host) You can go crazy with overpasses:  There's 19 different info views to manage your city with, focusing on city service, citizens, and map related things. Things like electricity, water flow, pollution, garbage, fire hazards, crime, education, health care, traffic, and citizen happiness. So things can get very strategic if you want to build the perfect optimal city when trying to manage all of them together. Here's a map showing what its like:  By the way, the cities can get HUGE: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/255710/ss_cbc7d89819ce67efa012ba2a7726ac42ed677a82.1920x1080.jpg?t=1423601803 (Unsupported image host) I'm really excited for this game. If you want video there's a million beta streamers out there posting videos so it should be easy to find stuff. |

Kind of off-topic, but was anyone else aware that Maxis was closed?

Its out! Currently has an 89 on metacritic with universal acclaim, the game has 60,000+ people playing it at the same time on steam, which is #4 on steam behind the big 3 (Dota, Counterstrike, TF2). Should overtake TF2 soon.

this thing makes simcity look like a dwarf lol u get to Build your dream city on a 36 square kilometer of area...while simcity ducks at 2 square kilometer of area. |
end of an era. Sim City was a big part of my childhood, so that news made me sad. Its kind of poetic though with this game coming out.
