It's quite good, if only I didn't get so mad when new unlocked buildings mean my road network is no longer optimal.

My cities tend to be rather uniform. I end up just building and extending grids. I think I need to get a little more creative if I'm to have any fun with it. Maybe take inspiration from some other city designs. Not that I've played Skylines much, but I'm in the mood for a little relaxing simulating this evening.

Definitely a worthy game? I have less than 24 hours to make a decision, if I want it at half cost.

It looks like everything Simcity 5 could have been but wasn't. I haven't played it much so far, but it has very favourable reviews, and the gameplay/visuals look solid. Also, the development team are pretty devoted to supporting it. I generally read a few reviews and watch a few playthroughs before I decide on a purchase.

That's pretty much something to be said for every game that Paradox Interactive touches.
