the later versions still require roads; but it's possible to create a barest minimum of roads to service freight & industry only and then build lots of train stations and bus stops
Pedestrian roads with tram lines are amazing, but my complaint is that you can't add the grass or tree modifiers to them. Pedestrians only get concrete...
The economy works better now and they just released smaller assets for schools, firehouses, more parks, etc. Still no bikes. Performance is better and barely playable on my amd 8700g apu.
i have a shameful admission to make: i have never played cities skylines (either version) and i just pulled a logo from google to represent what i see in this community 🫣
my apologies go out to the cities skylines fanbase and their families at this time
I feel like Cities Skylines wasted potential with their Sims-like sales model of a poorly cooked base game and tens of DLC. Plus, the game is tutorial railroaded so bad like omg just let me try.
I did see a youtuber build a biking and walkable community connected by Subway, though, which was cool.
