I have two complaints: the User Interface and the monkey system.

The User Interface feels like an afterthought, especially when it comes to moving items around. There’s no "sort" button, which makes inventory management frustrating. However, keep in mind that I was using a controller, so the experience might differ on keyboard and mouse.

The monkey system has a few bugs. Sometimes, they can’t find rocks to mine even when they’re standing right next to one. Other times, they stop working altogether and start wandering to the edge of the island or worse, into the sea.

Another issue is that monkeys don’t remember where items belong in chests. If they have an item in hand and are near a chest, they’ll just dump it in there unless there’s another chest with the same item nearby. This lack of organization can be frustrating.

One more annoyance is when you teleport or enter a cave, there’s a chance they won’t follow you. While this can be fixed by simply going back and forth, I won’t lie my blood pressure has probably popped a few arteries when they’ve failed to teleport and instead started wandering towards the beach... and before you know it, I have to drag them back from bikini bottom.

For only €2.49, I’d say I got my money’s worth.

I also am partially admiting to using ChatGPT for this review.

Have i missed something? Since when was this okay?

If you accidentally skip a cutscene then there is no way to rewatch it without starting over or heading over to youtube.

EDIT: Just found out i also lost about 20 minutes of gameplay because i accidentally clicked on the screen, keyword is "GAMEPLAY" not just cutscene but actual gameplay.

Not worth the money just because of the bugs.

There comes a time when you cannot ignore the big issues in the game and after dealing with them for so long it really makes you think if this game is really worth your time and money.

Price tag 27,99€
All DLC(s) more than 40€
It loves to milk you for stuff that should've already been in the game.


When you first start out its all fun games until you reach a certain population and you start to encounter the random bugs.

One of the most annoying game breaking bugs that hasn't been patched yet (I don't think it will ever be patched either) is "Garbage has piled up" and "dead person waiting for transport", Even if you have 50 cemeteries and Landfills there will only be about 2-4 Hearses/Trucks out of 15-20 that will be used even if you bump up the budget for healthcare and garbage disposal.
(Has nothing to do with road condition or accessibility)

(It randomly starts happening then doesn't stop until you restart Cities Skylines, same with the other bugs, you have to restart but it doesn't always work)

(There is a "FIX" for the "dead person waiting for transport" (and it's hardly a fix) the key is to not to zone to many homes and buildings at the same time or the so called "Deathwave" will come and ruin your city, but there is a huge con to that and that is slow growth, really slow growth)

If you've made it through the Garbage and Cemetery bugs then just wait, You have some more challenges just right ahead, Crime and Fires will go up if you have traffic jams (Not avoidable unless you fix your traffic, which btw most of the time is not possible) and if that wasn't enough then here comes the artillery, Sick citizens, cause? sound of traffic even if they live in a skyscraper or in a area with roads that have trees for the soul purpose to damp the sound from the cars and trucks passing by, but it can't even do that right.

And lets not forget the traffic problems, oh lord the traffic problems..
For some odd reason cars only drive on one lane at the highway which creates a massive huge pileup of cars and problems with goods not being delivered or recieved. (HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EXITS BEING ON THAT SIDE)


Those are the biggest game breaking bugs in the game but lets go to the head scratchers.

You can put the taxes up to 29% but everyone is going to complain and as far as i know its not possible to go more than 18% even if the land value is up the roof and everyone is happy.

Your citizens will always complain.

Water physics, yea they don't exist and dont get me started on building a hydro power plant, just dont do it or you will 100% drown your city because water is wet and dogs say woof.


Now to the performance part.

The graphics are MEH compared to Sim City but for some reason the game runs slower, I believe it's becuase of bad optimization but im not sure, Im not alone with this problem as alot of other people are having the same issues even though they have better PC's than me.

I start to suffer at a population of 20k with a maximum of 50 fps
And at a population of 400k thats when we are talking 20 fps max

Not will you just take a performance hit but the time will go slower and progress will "stall"
(It won't actually stall but it will take longer for stuff to respond to the changes you've made)

My setup: i5-6600k (3.50GHz) with a Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ (4GB) with 16 GB of LPX Vengance RAM (3200MHz)


So to wrap this up by saying, this is just a tiny portion of the bugs i've encountered but there still is alot more but these bugs stand out the most to me, Would i recommend this game, at the current price HECK NO, but i would recommend waiting for a discount then get it i guess, but only if you're ready to face everything i've mentioned and alot more.

EDIT: I was wrong, it wasn't just 40€+ it was '79,91€ Add all DLC to Cart'

i'll rather have a wank to susan boyle's pictures using sandpaper than to play this again.
