These 10 Screenshots Show How Awesome Cities: Skylines Really Is

March 14, 2015

Cities: Skylines has quickly become one of the most popular games on PC. Built by a team of fewer than a dozen people, and priced at $29.99, it is very well one of the most pleasant surprises in gaming history.

There are a lot of reasons Cities: Skylines is impressive. Instead of trying to explain it to you with words, we’ve decided to show you 10 user-taken screenshots so that you can see for yourself.

“Just dropping in to say hi!”

With some structure cities sure can look good.
