In Cities Skylines 2, you’re basically free to do whatever you want. There are influences and restrictions – you need to keep the people happy, manage the economy, and meet various municipal requirements – but if you want to make a new subway system or invest in dozens of parks and schools, it’s your prerogative. Taking cues from Slay The Spire, Balatro, and maybe a little Frostpunk, a new city building game adds drama and pressure to metropolis management with a smart roguelike twist. Original and challenging, you can try it for yourself right now.
