Cities: Skylines For Switch Rated By The Australian Classification Board

I already have and love the digital version. Absolutely stellar game which this website failed to review accurately (sadly). But I am not interested in rebuying the same game on the same system.

@Heavyarms55 I have and love the digital version also. As well as Project Highrise, which I highly recommend if you dig sim games, it’s nearly a mirror copy of SimTower, with a LOT more depth.

I’m curious about Constructor Plus....

@Dm9982 Never actually played Sim Tower but I have heard good things about it and Project Highrise. Might have to check it out at some point.

I would be QUITE interested in a physical copy. Gimme!

@Dm9982 i played Sim Tower heavily on DOS, however i couldnt get the same feeling watching the Highrise trailer. Are there any of he DLCs included? I heard also has a lot of bugs.

I'm surprised the Australians didn't rate it R due the excessive freedom characters might have in the game, like walking across the road at any time, drinking at night or riding a bicycle without a helmet.

@Heavyarms55 Agreed, deffinately on my wish list. NL's review was useless on this game.
When the Switch platform gets unique, genre defining titles like this, I give the title the utmost respect first and foremost.

@spirit_flame It was all the more stark because I tend to find NL's reviews fairly accurate. But the beat down they gave this game was just so excessively harsh and inaccurate... It seriously made me wonder if the version NL got to review was an earlier build than the one that we had at launch. And one that has subsequently been patched and is better still.

@HalBailman : If Thief Simulator ever gets a physical release, it will be RC'ed for instructional detail pertaining to matters of inciting crime and/or violence. Indiscriminate murder of civilians and whores post-coitus (and stealing your money back) in GTA is AOK (particularly as you can get away in many cases without penalty), but games like Thief Simulator will likely meet the fate of that Marc Ecko (?) graffiti game from back in the day.

Did they fix the performance issues with this game via patches? The reason why this game got terrible reviews for the Switch version at launch, was that game became almost unplayable when your city grew to a decent size.

It's the main reason I didn't buy it on the Switch.

One of my favorite Switch titles, a framerate isn't matter that much in a simulation game as it blamed in the review. Wish there'll be an announcement for DLCs.

@zufa86 I believe it has most/all the DLCs. It has the casino/hotel add on and Tokyo towers / London. Not sure about Miami Mall. The trailer doesn’t give you a good feel of the game.... Sim Tower and ProHR are both types of games that play better than they look... or even look to play, lol. I haven’t hit any bugs, at least nothing major. Smooth as dos ST was on my Win 95 pc back in the day.

I will say that it’s harder due to being more in depth - having to run elec, water, HVAC, phone/tv lines to certain offices and such. Also all those things cost daily money. But once you get the hang of it, it’s smoother than ST was, and quicker to build cash, especially with all the “missions”.... you can agree to certain things, like make $2000 daily, and it’ll reward you with large chunks of cash to help boost ya.... other missions are like x amount of offices, x amount of shops, etc etc.

I just hope they will release the new DLCs on Switch. This version feels really left behind, also due to constant framerate issues when the city is big enough...

I have bought the game and it is a consistent sim game. There is some framerate drops when u zoom in and out buts its nothing special like the reviews say. This isnt a competitive shooter!

A lot of the time I skip out on games because it's digital only, this was one of them.

@zufa86 DOS?! And here I thought I was the only old-ish nerd on here that remembers the awesomeness and sometimes tediousness of those days. I remember playing Sim Tower on the Apple Macintosh back in the day. Great game. I haven't played Cities: Skylines or Project Highrise yet.

@nintendork64 I got my gaming start on Dos with Leisure Suit Larry and a stage builder game called Ed Willy.

@nintendork64 Same here, i just couldnt get into buying it as something holds me back.

It's $60 on the Aussie eShop. Thanks but no thanks.

@Dm9982 LSL it was for me as well. Along Police Quest

@sportvater LSL was awesome, miss the old Sierra and Al Lowe. Did you know he has a daily joke email and will talk to fans? Awesome dude. Also, LSL remake is on Android and iPhone stores. I can’t comment on Android, but iPhone version is sweet.

@Dm9982 OMG Leisure Suit Larry.

Now I'm going to have to get my old computer running again.

@nintendork64 There’s a website, think it’s GOG, that has updated a bunch of old games like that so they run on current computers.... yup gog.com, they’ve got all the good pc LSL games for about $17 total, and I think they even have all the kings quest games as well.

@Dm9982 That's cool but I already own the games and I also like playing it on the original hardware. It feels more "authentic" that way.
