Not to mention the automatic placement of water pipes when you lay down roads. That’ll save a lot of time and allow you to focus on the more engaging aspects of the game more

This was a great feature video, I really liked that they are making utilities more than just something you have to do but potentially something interesting.

I agree. As someone who enjoys playing factory and logistics games- (factorio, satisfactory, creeper world, ftb minecraft, etc…), I fully welcome the additional control over utilities, and the additional challenges and elements of gameplay.

Eh, it’s $50 on Steam. I dropped something like 300 hours into CS1 before any DLC. Even if I got half that out of CS2, I’m fine paying roughly 33¢ an hour for a great experience.

To give credit to CS, Its been out for 7 years at this point, and they have maintained updates for the core game. In addition, they have not locked any “critical” functionality behind a DLC, but rather, the DLCs just gave the game a different experience.

As many hours as I have dumped into the original, I’d feel MUCH better paying 60$ for it, as opposed to half of the AAA crap out there, where I might be lucky to get 40 hours of gameplay.

Wait for a sale if price is an issue. From my perspective CS:2 looks like CS:1 with a bunch of mods and substantial DLC baked right in.

I don’t mind supporting this company because they show time and time again that they love the game and the community.

Where I live it’s not “full” price. You can get it for 40€ and most new AAA releases are 60-80 €

Yes I realize 80€ is insane but I’ve seen games for that price

The Deluxe Edition doesn’t add much value for me but as Cities:Skylines was amazingly fun, CitiesSkylines 2 is worth every penny to me.
