  • Review: Cities: Skylines (PC)

    Posted by on April 17, 2015 under PC, Reviews
    Cities: Skylines is the latest city management simulator by Paradox Interactive, where you control your very own metropolitan city.  Unlike other games in the genre (i.e. think Sim City), Skylines is user-friendly and a lot of fun to play. You also won’t find the same type of gameplay that stumps players every step of the way. The game doesn’t hold your hand, but it does provide an in-depth t... more.
