Cities: Skylines is a 2015 city-building game developed by Colossal Order. The game is a single-player open-ended city-building simulation.

This should be better that Sim City. It has a modern interface and better graphics. The interface is the first problem, things swim around like that used in King’s Bounty 2. You can move up/down in and out and side ways. But it’s always too fast. It would be nice to be able to fix the perspective so you weren’t forever dealing  with basic movement.

Then there is the operation. It took me ages to get my head around how the basic services worked.

Was the water supply a well ?.

Why was the only way to treat sewerage to just dump it in the river or sea ?

Eventually I worked out that the water supply and sewer pipes were together in the same trench. Something that should not happen in reality. I did eventually get some buildings going but there was little joy or entertainment , it felt like work.

Overall, a frustrating experience
