    I never bothered with the second game because the first game was pretty meh. I think I played it for about 20 hours before getting bored and moving on. The game is a glorified traffic simulator.

      Without even being an accurate traffic simulator… Apparently parking made the game not fun, and I’m not surprised - it makes real life not fun either

        It was a much more accurate traffic simulation than anything that came before it, save for maybe SimCity 2013, but that wasn’t worth shit when you only had a single tile smaller than a Skylines tile to work with. The Skylines 2 traffic simulation is improved quite a bit as well - still has its quirks of course.

          SimCity 2013 was definitely worse. Sims in that game don’t have persistent identities: they go ti the nearest available job opening every morning, and they sleep in a different bed every night.
