But should you want slightly nudge to get you taking part in it within the first place, right here’s Alec once more:
“The core Skylines experience is instead calmly ‘painting’ districts, pipes and roads, the land a canvas for what most pleases your eye. There is time (and slow-time) aplenty to place the powerlines and water pumps required to make it all function – to build a city in Skylines is to gently lose yourself in an unhurried world.”
It’s a bit like doll homes however with fewer little chairs and casseroles which are so stunning you wish to cry, yeah?
