CITIES SKYLINES TRAFFIC MANAGER FREE

Be aware that if you donвЂ™t like managing and optimizing your traffic flow, youвЂ™re probably not going to have much fun in this game. ItвЂ™s hilarious, if unfortunate, to watch a line of ambulances held up by a few huge trucks delivering lumber while a bunch of people die at their homes a few streets over. Truthfully, the most important thing in your city is traffic management, and those who fail to plan for a modern city with a well designed transit system are in for a world of pain. You even build cargo and passenger ports for crate and cruise ships. Later in the game, you optimize a rail system, create routes for your bus system, and construct an underground metro for true convenience. Meanwhile, you hand-place buildings like government services and power plants, tending to the needs of your populace for things like water, power, sewage, and garbage pickup. When the simulation is running at one of its three speeds, little people move into your town and build buildings appropriate to the plan youвЂ™ve given them. You zone that area as residential, commercial, industrial, or office, with residential and commercial coming in high and low density varieties вЂ“ think downtown or suburb size. As your lay road, the game shows gridded areas where buildings can be placed on them. You expand your city by laying out roads of various sizes, from two to six lane, in various varieties вЂ“ like one way, or with pretty barrier trees and decorations. The basics of city sims still apply, though. You guide yourself through the interface, laying out roads, optimizing your flow of traffic, zoning new areas, and placing specialist buildings from aquariums to fire stations and universities. In Cities: Skylines you do a lot throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. If youвЂ™ve felt neglected by the insufficiently complicated city builders of recent years, or felt that older city builders were simply too complex and obtuse for you, then Cities: Skylines is a game worth your time and attention. Either way, youвЂ™ll have fun planning out a city and executing your dreams.

It has lovely little graphics, available in map flavors from northern european to tropical island, and allows you to live out your dreams of a hyper-taxed socialist utopia with legal drugs and free public transit, or a highly regulated free market hellscape where pets and smoking are banned and everyone only goes anywhere by car. ItвЂ™s a nice little game from developer Colossal Order, worthy of hours of your time. Oh, and, I guess, itвЂ™s simple and lovely enough that if youвЂ™re not obsessed with the same things I am youвЂ™ll do really well at it too.

Cities: Skylines speaks to this very fundamental part of my nature. I love to lay out careful patterns of roads, provide lovely public transit, walkable routes, and generally create the kind of gorgeous, convenient places IвЂ™d love to live in as an alternative to asphalt-sprawl-choked, highway obsessed modern urban development.
