I have given a good review after playing it 200+ hours cause you know this was the best city building game in sector. I have decided to change it after playing it for much longer than 1000+ hours (from different platforms) because our dear Finlandian friends (developer company) are really dedicated to stop upgrading and improving the game after it's release in 2015. What i mean is that they only want us to buy some "so called new" DLCs to help their companie's financial income but they forget to upgrade the game's bugs/mistakes, lack of features, bad AI system and other lots of stuff (including bad optimisation due to Unity). If you want your game to be normal or playable or with better AI (search traffic manager mode), you got to use tons of non-ingame mods (which I've played the game with more than 1000 mods many times).

I like you to know that there is no challenge left for me in the game I mean I have seen and experienced everything that the game have. Like I said I have played it from lots of different sources for more than 1000+ hours.

Let me be clear, I still love this game, I just lost my respect to it because it is not enough for 2022 anymore, it's for 2015. We need a new city building game better than this, bigger than this, more capable than this and definitely better optimised than this. Don't get me wrong my system is neither bad nor old, but it should be frustrating for everyone to see their FPS drops to the ground after reaching 50k+ , 90k+ , 150k+ , or 200k+ population. So far I've calculated many kind of FPS change releated to population, turism, asset, mode, texture and many other algorithmic numbers that working on back side of this software (because it is really a software for a couple of years) and the only people can handle these kind of problems is the ones who make them not other outsources (modders).

I don't understand why they even release the mode called "Financial District" (I guess), I understand it adds some tiny little gameplay and semblance features but most important part of it is just adding an easy way to earn money in the game which I was able to do it easily in my first city (55k+ pop and couple of million money) without any mods (because I wasn't even know the mods exist back around 2016-2017 I guess, not sure). It is not that hard to play especially earn money in the base game (most of the players is able to earn money easily).

If we need to talk other DLCs' contents, I need to tell you that if you want to improve your transportation you need to buy couple of non-releated DLCs not just one named "Mass Transit" because some other irrelevant DLCs includes "Mass Transit" s content some how :D
And the beautiful part of it that this is a wonderfull strategy for a company, I mean they are not giving good enough or at least "some" content or a complated content for a DLC just to make sure you buy some more DLCs hahahaha
It is just bizarre and shocking!

Although these DLCs are not the only problem, one of the other problem is that they have been copying some mods and make them DLCs and releasing more DLCs instead of just adjusting pedestrian destination AI (while using car) (This is only one of the few other problems in the game) and adding some DLCs' content to the game as an update (I am saying this because they are really not worth buying). Many people who had to use Traffic Manager Mode, knows that the traffic AI is just worst that you have to adjust the roads for hours like a real road or city designer. I like handling roads and transportation in this game (unfortunately Cities Skylines is the best in this area too) but it will take longer for you to adjust them and have a very good traffic flow if you don't use some mods.

And let's not forget that this game has been like this since it's release so this is not a new thing and I'm writing this review now because I was so lazy to write it.

After the long and frustrating review I can say that this game should've been improved since the release but instead they choose to be just like a money based company instead of quality based company (which will lead to more money but it's their funeral).

Still love the game but like i said I have lost my respect both to Collosal Order and to game itself. So I suggest you not to buy it if you are new, especially not to buy the DLCs because they are lack of content and most of the content can be obtained from mods which in the workshop there is more than 10000+ mods. Isn't Paradox Interactive guilty about this game's money base movements I am not sure but if they are the superior at the same time and not just the distributor that means that they have involve to this money grabber.

Stay in peace and play beautiful management games. :)
