Cities: Skylines

After the disappointment that was SimCity, we've all been waiting for the essential city builder to come our way. It finally came in the form of Cities: Skylines, Paradox's superbly wonderful mayor manager game. Covering everything from minor systems such as what buildings adorn the footpaths of your streets, to the major complexities of sewerage pumping and transportation networks, Cities: Skylines manages to make every mechanic work together in absolute harmony.
