Out of seemingly nowhere, Paradox Interactive launched the ship of many long nights fighting traffic issues.
It was a dream come true for fans of the 90s/early 00s-era of PC games that could just be about balancing a budget on a spreadsheet, and I (alongside many others) would snort it up like crack.
This was soon followed up by Two Point Hospital, Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Frostpunk, and more releasing not long after. The mid-2010s were a peak of this renaissance of exemplary business management games, with the likes of Prison Architect, Parkitect, and Kerbal Space Program (to an extent) all being released within a short period of time. Especially after years of absolute drivel slopping out, including EA’s 2013 attempt to mug fans of the series one last time. Between a couple of editions of Sims City 3000 and my well-established adulation for management/ business simulation games, I think it is fair to say Cities: Skylines was perfectly aimed at me. I think it is phrases like that which give away the game a little, if my two or three times talking about Cities: Skylines prior to this haven’t done that enough. A little over two and half years ago, Dari gave their impressions on this 2015 piece of city-building majesty.
