Game Informer

8.5 / 10

True to its PC reputation, Cities: Skylines is the best city-builder out there today

GameSpot

by Brett Todd

8 / 10

Smart attention to details like zoning and policy decisions make Cities: Skyline the most authentic city-builder you can play.

Metro GameCentral

by Roger Hargreaves

8 / 10

The true successor to the SimCity legacy, and even though it only restates what was great about the original it still does a better job than the last decade or so of official games.
