The biggest name in city builders has a few cracks in its foundation. When it launched late in 2023, it was pretty obvious that Cities: Skylines 2 would have benefited from some more time in development, and thanks to optimization issues and a lack of mod support, the city builder sequel currently has "Mixed" reviews on Steam—with recent reviews dipping into "Mostly Negative" territory. Ouch.
That's disappointing, especially since the original game still enjoys a "Very Positive" 93% review score on Steam (and by the looks of it is currently drawing twice the amount of daily players than its sequel).
