If you are on this website, no doubt you have played Sim City in the past. I wanted to play the reboot in 2013, however it was mired in technical and gameplay difficulties and was effectively branded a failure by the market. It is coincidence that their publisher, EA laid off their entire Sim City studio (RIP Maxis)  as this game launches to good reviews. 

I support Paradox and their games are fun and generally error free for the most part. 

If you are interested in checking this game out, it is available on Steam.

Well, I am enthusiastic. Here is a short video from Paradox detailing the development and concept of the game. They have scooters running on highways, bike paths and tennis courts on the rooves of skyscrapers!

I'd imagined drawing out the KW roadmap in Skylines... even better if it's on the correct terrain!
