Recently got Skylines and g*med hard on it today, but, as someone who sunk hundreds of hours into SimCity 4, I'm not getting the appeal. SimCity 4 is just so much comfier?
Is Skylines really just a traffic simulator? I watched a video by a self-proclaimed city planner all about how to make efficient transitions from the highway to your town, and it seemed like the road building / traffic control is the whole point.
What am I missing?
Far less comfy but far more rewarding when it works, human-centric in that it doesn't let you demolish homes until you've found a new place for the current residents to live.
It's a socialist society after all. The game impresses me by how little liberalism there is in it (It's not completely devoid of it, but still) while being from a eastern European developer (from Kosice, Slovakia)
