Cities Skylines abandoned buildings have always been a source of frustration. If you accidentally neglect a neighborhood for a short while, or make a mess of the infrastructure, you wind up with a bunch of unoccupied properties that drag down environmental quality and tank everyone’s happiness. Cities Skyline 2 houses, however, appear to work differently.

Cities Skylines 2 is starting to look seriously promising.
