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?
love me some skylines, but it often feels like it's missing the heart that SimCity had, y'know? Like, none of the CS attempts at comedy land for me, and there's a lack of gamefeel - thinking about how each of the SimCity power plants had their own lil audio clips that played when you opened the infobox & did the coil whine "bweeooooo" when you first plopped em, the set of composers they bought in for the ost, that kinda thing. Maybe CS2 being bigger budget will help, I definitely prefer the art direction at least
Yep! You nailed it - Skylines really doesn't have the same heart.
