Another chance to grab this addictive game at a great price.

From the website:

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.

From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

Features:

• Multi-tiered and challenging simulation: Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor of your city you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements such as education, water electricity, police, fire fighting, healthcare and much more along with your citys real economy system. Citizens within your city react fluidly, with gravitas and with an air of authenticity to a multitude of game play scenarios.
• Extensive local traffic simulation: Colossal Orders extensive experience developing the Cities in Motion series is fully utilized in a fully fleshed out and well-crafted transport systems.
• Districts and Policies: Be more than just an administrator from city hall. Designating parts of your city as a district results in the application of policies which results in you rising to the status of Mayor for your own city.
• Extensive modding support: Build or improve on existing maps and structures. You can then import them into the game, share them as well as download the creations of other city builders on the Steam workshop.

Enjoy!

  A$7.79 if you set the currency to AUD on their site.

  Edit: Nevermind seems you pay in USD.

  Edit2: I was charged $7.78 through CommBank.

  +1 for using addictive instead of addicting.

  I know the latter is technically also OK but it sounds so weird to me (also this game is Ace).

    Can't +1 this enough.

    Having had kids already, my life goal is now to work for google and "search and replace" to replace addicting with addictive across the entire internet.

  I really, really wanted to love this game, but I got put off by the broken traffic system. Cars forming massive queues in one lane while there are four other perfectly good ones, merging like total idiots, etc.

  I know there are ways around it, but it shouldn't be necessary to basically hack around a core game mechanic to make it useable.

  Still, for this price it's a good buy. The modding support is top notch and goes some way to fixing the game's problems. In many ways it's the game the "new" Sim City should have been.

    I think with traffic manager and roundabout builder mods you can fix that pretty easily, especially with the latest version of TM. Also while it is annoying, the game isn't about building bigger and wider roads, so if your game is doing that, it is most likely your city isn't planned out optimally. It usually points to underlying causes in your city. Check out Biffa's YouTube channels to learn more. Using his tips and the mods, my traffic never goes below 70%.

      +1 to everything you've said. Get Traffic Manager mod and watch Biffa.

    You should be able to 'outplay' the AI if you apply yourself.

    Mass Transit is probably the best and most useful. The other ones add different things depending on how you play it.

  Great game if you want to relax for a couple hours in the evening and only stop playing because you've realised it's gotten light outside.
