So what are everyones experiences ? I havent played it "yet" but im thinking about it at work and since its a shiny new game it does interest me. Mind you I thought traffic management in Cities 1 was pretty unfun for me but that was waaay back around release. I watched and followed basically 0 news around Cities 2 except for some trailers. Im aware of the performance problems some folks are having but I got a 3080 and a decent cpu so I assume that should be "fine" if I keep the settings on mid level.
Anyways any input is welcome. Good or bad. Say your piece 
it runs fine on my 1080ti, though i haven't reached a super large city yet. there are good things, road tools are much better, buildings are much better scaled, better graphics with higher textures, more city management stuff (taxes for each sector of the city and by education).
there are gameplay bugs. some aspects are horribly balanced such as city services, its near impossible to obtain a surplus budget, buildings while more scaled dont have much diversity, to do zoning on correct side of the road you have to place down paths.
there are dlc features from first game missing, custom industries, custom parks. landscaping is much more limited there are no props and fences and shit. no bikes (ikr) though pedestrian streets do exist there are no pedestrian areas.
i also miss the mods from the first game like road anarchy, move it and network multitool. such bangers.
i think the game has a good 'base', it needs more time and more love from modders. they increased the price on release, right before release it was going for like $10 in Argentina region, now its $25. wait for discounts.
I found having a surplus budget pretty easy, but what the game tells you about how much you are making is bugged. I had it tell me I was losing 5000/hour but my money kept going up
This was an issue in the first game with the Industries DLC as well.
