FYI this is on Game Pass.
Good price, not sure about the recent patches but devs seem to be working on it at least.

i hate to be that guy, but the first one is still more feature rich than this one. more things to do more things to manage. The only thing this one has over the first at this point is the graphics is a bit better. If that matters to you then go for it. I'm sure they'll add the features back to 2 in DLC's.

If your population is above 300,000+ even with a 9800x3d your game simulation speed will slow down which is disappointing. It does have its interesting benefits with their new simulations, but I think it's ahead of its time.

I think in the future as computers get more powerful/you have 16core + machines it could be more enjoyable.

I have a Ryzen 7 5800X and a Nvidia 3080. Played this at launch and while there were some issues, I had a blast. I'm sure it's more stable now. However, I wouldn't recommend picking it up if you have a computer much less powerful than that, even with this it would slow down once population got up there.

Of course, since this is Paradox, they will be added back across 45 DLCs totaling over $600 USD. I don't mind DLC in general, but Paradox's excessive use of DLC has pretty much turned me off of buying any of their games or even DLC for games I already own.

I love Cities: Skylines and some of the DLCs did make great improvement and add a lot, but if you want to get everything for this 10 year old game, you're still looking at $450+ normal prices. Of course there are some bundles that can bring it down and many of the DLC options don't affect gameplay (radio stations, for example), but it still seems excessive.

Feature rich for sure. But I find it difficult to go to CS1 after playing CS2. Some of the built in tools and interfaces feel better. It's been months since I've played but I can't even turn on CS1 now.
