      I really wanted to lvoe it, had been looking forward to it for so long. Thing is, it was just awful when it came out. Horrible lack of features, mechanics only available through DLCs, and just poor optimisation and bug fixing. Cities Skylines was the saviour we needed, and it definitely delivered.
      There are definitely many parts of Simcity 2013 that were actually great, and I wished were carried over to CS. Like adding on truck garages to fire stations and things like that.
