Cities: Skylines

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • City builder
  • Management
  • Simulation

You design a city from a single road to a metropolis: zoning, traffic, public transport, services. You can play it as a management challenge or as a model kit for limitless creativity.

Why play it now

When you want to build something big at a relaxed pace. Watching your city grow session after session keeps you hooked for weeks.

Who it's for

For creative types and planners. Traffic will be your greatest enemy.

When not to pick it

If you only have half an hour: cities grow slowly and long sessions pay off far more.
