Skylines is ideal for urban newcomers, which can lead to huge, bustling Städtem very quickly, which is marvelous to behold. For SimCity veterans but the game can be a little too easy, and it is missing at the end of some long-term motivation. Skylines plays like a fascinating model kit, whereas SimCity is a bit more challenging and in the urban planning and an economic and logistics planning weaves.
Remarkably I find the low selling price of skylines. For little money there is very much game. For urban fans Skylines is thus really a must buy. My dream scenario would be the huge cities and Modbarkeit skylines associated with the dynamic and economic functions of game SimCity. But what is not, can still become. For a first novel, and as a foundation for enhancements I find remarkable total of Skylines and recommend it in good conscience.
