The franchise is being dumbed down. Fights are too easy - then they increase monster hp to artificially increase difficulty. RNG is overly preverlent. Performance is getting worse, not better. Content that was supposed to be at the start of the games release was cut, and slowly fed back in as 'new content' . The saikret made the whole area to explore small and trivial. I do not look at the environments or the vista's because the saikrets just runs past everything - straight to the target monster within moments.

They tried to make the game appeal to everyone, but made it a very forgetable and mundane experience
I'm not salty - just disappointed

This game is a Gem!!!
I did not expect much from this game with its simplistic appearence and its limited building pieces - but after playing for 24 hours, i really do believe that isn't the aim of this game.

I expected an 'average' planet-wide factory management game - What i got was an adorned experience. Its not too tasking to achieve goals in the game. Its a Chill and tranquill and the planetary evolution mechanics are VERY interesting to me. Its got a nice balance of depth and simple game mechanics; easy to grasp and understand and interesting enough to experiment with the evolution of the planet
The music got me humming along when while i'm taking a break. So big shout out to the composer (I bought the OST)

A lot of games struggle to captivate my attention, this game felt like i didn't really have to 'try hard' to get it.
Thank you Gaddy Games

Bought this game after the release by quite a few months, to avoid the buggy mess, day one software issues.
I thought it should be all fixed by now, Right?
Wrong!

I was coming up the the 2 hour mark and luckily for me, the game after an hour and a half, just began to run like dog turd.
It ran fine for the first hour and a bit, so i don't understand why it starts to have huge performance problems after a certain amount of time. Instead of allowing EA to keep my money, i cannot have that happen to an undeserving company that made another bad performing product.

so i straight up refunded it.

I noticed the trees blow in the wind on one side of my island, and on the other side where the wind hasn't reached, are still.
Interesting mechanic. Doing something new like this in game development deserves my attention alone.

Its Chill, no complaints.

Can be a fun game. But the NPC's ruined my mid-game experience. I ordered a small ship to defend a trading ship, which forms a fleet. My trading ship gets attacked, i expected my S ship to defend it. It did not. My S flew around, approaching random locations around my trading ship, which my trading ship also seems to be confused, and then blows up.

I expect thing to behave how they are explained in the game. This isn't the case, and after doing tutorials on youtube/google for explanations, it really isn't as simple to do.

More infurriating to play than it is for me to enjoy. I dont know, maybe i'm not understanding it properly...
Not a strict 'No' review, but i wouldn't encourage any of my friends to play who might be interested in managing a space empire

I've wanted to like this game for a looooong time. It just never reaches any of my check boxes, even though the trailers and adverts speak my language.

99% of the game is boring and Mind numbing. the fun parts from the trailers are after hours and hours and hours of mining, building and stress testing but the fights and events are over in a split second in comparison to how long it has taken me to reach this point.
(building can be fun, but it takes a masters degree to understand if your build will work or not)

its just not worth your time... unless you like a game to put you to sleep
I would like to put a Mid vote on this game, but as i can't, i'd have to put a NO as my review

From what i CAN play, i can see this being a fun game. But the game isn't ready yet.
bought the game on the 13th Feb and was grasped by the games setting and combat from tutorial and the Democratic satire. But i couldn't play due to game lobby issues.

I was able to get my first co-op mission today on the 14th, however...
Frequent crashes which means anything you have done within the 30 or 40 minutes of the mission, doesn't get accounted for. You lose it all. This wouldn't be an issue really, but with how often the game crashes i cannot in good faith recommend this.

i am tired of feeling bad from games that don't work as intended. Gonna have to refund this one as i have played 100 minutes and not much time left for a refund. Will re-purchase once i hear the game is fixed.

EDIT 16/02/2024
A good friend of mine showed me it doesn't crash often for him. I do like the game, so i bought it again and made another attempt - it crashed still, for me. Around the time we were extracting iirc.

I did some reading and tweaking, and i have managed to get 4 missions back to back without my game crashing. Weather be a fluke or my tweaks fixed it, i dunno, i aint gonna complain.
(I limited my maximum FPS through my Nvidia control pannel to 90)

I can now do my part!

I like it so far - i bet money it'll only get better after optimizations and bug fixes (i hope saying that doesn't jynx it :D )*

HOWEVER!
As of now....
Modded CS1 OVERALL is better
Vanilla skylines experience; CS2 is better OVERALL

EDIT 29/01/2024
These updates sure are taking a long time, and not much is being improved upon as of yet.
Would i still recommend CS2? Eh! eventually, yes.. But not now.
i will be seeing how things are when mod support is in.

If by summer, no updates have fixed the games issues, then i'll be sad to have to change my review to a negative one.

Time is ticking CO

EDIT 21/02/2024
* So i lost this bet. Serves me right for having hopes i guess. The game in cities 2 doesn't introduce anything NEW that the first game already has. Money is still THE ONLY RESOURCE to be able to do ANYTHING in both games. When you have income coming in, thats it! GG, Game over! No challenge or ANY management needed. Just mindlessly plop stuff down and watch.

Why did you even make this sequal CO? The only improvement i feel CS2 has is the road building.
This should have been implemented into CS1 instead of making a whole new game that basically is the same damn game, but with many MANY bugs that breaks the game.

I understand fixing games takes time. But these Word of the weeks are not inspiring or interesting to me. Feels like you're delaying the fixes because you can't fix it. The whole simulation is a mess and needs redoing from scratch. Which you wont do.

utterly dissapointed. CS2 is shelved and can go next to simcity 2013... my shelf of shame

Really on the fence about this one. Its a shame. It looks good, but polish on a turd is still a turd.

after a couple of hours into the game i quickly realised that your ship isn't really a ship.... (dumb i know) its a fast travel point.
Upgrading your ship has no real purpose other than for space fights. You can only fly ships in space and never any where else.
So its not a space sim exploration game! So i tried to look at it as an FPS adventure game, using the map+ship to fast travel every where.
Sadly as the planets are all procedurally generated, theres nothing interesting to look at. You have set pieces of man made structures aaaaaaand.... well.... i think thats it other than the repetitive wildlife.

Enemies are bullet sponges so the combat isn't compelling for me either. This game feels exactly like Fallout and truth be told i didn't think fallout was that great either.
I'm happy some people enjoy the game, but i wouldn't recommend this game myself.
