Summary

He finds Cities: Skylines II repetitive and unchallenging: routine grids, infrastructure, zoning, and eventually placing every required civic building. Fiddly connections repeatedly trigger false water and power errors, producing a frustrating maze of pipes, wires, and roads. Performance is poor: an RTX 3060 system manages roughly 20 FPS medium, while the ROG Ally needs ultra-low settings.

Insight

His verdict combines gameplay boredom with hardware frustration and price resistance, producing a decisive do-not-buy recommendation.
