“The coin game” has some of the best designed minigames ive ever seen!

The game is essentially just a collection of minigames, but it is put together incredibly well

I’ve been enjoying it… Lots of cool new features & fun gameplay… Have about 6 hours in it right now. Overall, i feel like the game has lots of potential even if some of it is unrealized at the moment.

PC Specs: laptop with i7-9750H, RTX 2060, 16gb ram… (below recommended hardware, but above minimum hardware)

Regarding performance: When I first got in, it was pretty rough… lots of blurry blobs of textures, invisible buildings, and lots of lag… Once I played with the graphic settings though, these issues effectively disappeared. The game looks very good and is very playable. It does still studder on occasion, but nothing that makes the game feel unplayable.

Regarding playability: The gameplay feels like a real upgrade compared to CS1. I know it sounds cliche, but the cities really do feel super alive. The progression feels natural and exciting. I actually got so inveloped in the gameplay that i completely lost track of time & ended up going to bed much later than i wanted lol.

While overall I really enjoy the game, there are a couple things to note that I find particularly annoying: 1 - The achievements… IMO, achievements are super dumb to begin with (wish there was a way to blanket turn them off), but CS2 really takes it to a whole new annoying level. Example: one achievement is to cure 6000 sims in the clinic/hospital. It literally gives you a popup notification for every… single… one of those 6000 sims cured. So incredibly annoying. 2 - I’ve encountered some minor bugs here and there… nothing game breaking, but they did get slightly annoying… 1 in particular was little invisible pockets of water on the land that made road placement difficult.

Lately, ive gotten back into cities:skylines. The hype for cs2 got me in the mood for a good city builder.

Other than that, mainly just civ6 when im in the mood for somewhat mindless clicking & transport fever 2 for when i feel motivated to hardcore concentrate on optimization…

Cities Skylines 2 is the 1st game i ever preordered.

I figured CS1 is one of my most played games & i was gonna buy CS2 when it launched anyway, so why not do it now? By doing so now, its 1 less thing taking up space in my mind & theres really Nothing to lose with steams refund policy.

The incredible transparency they have been providing via the dev diaries + the fact that they hired a bunch of the top modders from CS1 to help develop the game is what got me to pull the trigger.

For me, it was Cities:Skylines. My old PC couldnt play it (first game i wanted to play that it couldnt run), so i upgraded.

Now that Cities:Skylines2 is coming out in a few months, i anticipate needing to upgrade again lol.
