About Cities: Skylines

✦ AI summary

Build and manage a thriving city from the ground up, balancing budgets, infrastructure, traffic, and citizen needs in a deep simulation that rewards strategic planning. Create your own unique metropolis with district policies, dynamic day-night cycles, and endless modding possibilities that let you reshape every aspect of the game.

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

Multi-tiered and challenging simulation


Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor of your city you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements such as education, water electricity, police, fire fighting, healthcare and much more along with your citys real economy system. Citizens within your city react fluidly, with gravitas and with an air of authenticity to a multitude of game play scenarios.

Extensive local traffic simulation


Colossal Order's extensive experience developing the Cities in Motion series is fully utilized in a fully fleshed out and well-crafted local traffic simulation.

Districts and Policies


Be more than just an administrator from city hall. Designating parts of your city as a district results in the application of policies which results in you rising to the status of Mayor for your own city.

Utilize the Day and Night Cycle


The city changes during the hours of the day and affects citizen schedules. Traffic is visibly slower at night and some zoned areas do not work with full efficiency. Cities: Skylines will put you in control of managing the different aspects of the day and night cycles.

Extensive modding support

Build or improve on existing maps and structures. You can then import your creations into the game, share them as well as download the creations of other city builders on the Steam workshop.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players consistently praise this city management game for being fun and engaging, with well-balanced mechanics, good progression, and high replay value. The DLC content is highlighted as a worthwhile addition that enhances the experience, though some note the game has a steep difficulty curve that may challenge newer players.

Not recommended Sep 22, 2026
The man they call a racist and genocidal figure is none other than Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, to whom our entire nation is deeply grateful. These slanderous claims and accusations are a direct insult to the Turkish community. If you remain silent and fail to take action against this, do not expect any revenue, player base, or support from Türkiye.

Instead of spending lots of money of Cities: Skylines II, the original game is 4 times cheaper and is decently fun. It's slightly upsetting that the DLCs are kind of expensive, but I recommend getting a few.

Recommended Sep 22, 2026
It's a good game if you have a decent computer to play it on. It's very fun and challenging to play, but if you are looking for a solid city management game, this is a good choice. Also runs on Linux via Proton, so can't complain their either!
