It's not nearly as bad performance wise as I was expecting. Not great either.

In so far as gameplay it feels like Colossal had a lot of ideas for how things work and how interconnected they should be, but it feels a bit too busy for my liking. There are also some annoying gameplay bugs that kind of hamper the experience. Some have been fixed, but others persist and even existed in CS1, like how emergency services in the neighborhood don't dispatch and instead you get one for way farther away. I had an entire block burn down even though I had a firehouse 4 blocks away.
