First thing - Best city building game I have ever played and owned and I have owned and played many upon many city building games in my 45 years on this earth. Now I say BUT only because of all the Workshop content available for this game. Without the Steam Workshop I do not think I would enjoy this game as much as I do.

Let me elaborate and talk more about the game's price, PC demands and items from the Workshop that truly make the game.

Price : Yes at first glance this game is a tad expensive with all the DLC, but when you look at the amount of content and the amount of hours of enjoyment you will potentiality get playing this game, the sales price might be worth it in the end. It was for me but only once it was on Steam Sale and after I got more RAM which I will talk about shortly. Again I do want to reiterate that I do find the game expensive, so I recommend you do like me and wait for Steam sales to purchase it especially because I highly recommend all the DLC to the get best and full experience.

The reason I think this game is expensive is because the main reason this game is so much fun is because of the community workshop and the items and mods the fellow players have created and without it I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. (Reminds me of The Sims)

So I waited for a sale and I got the entire collection for less than the price of 2 new release games and so far have spend more hours on this game than on most of my other games. So think about it, if you're like me you've probably already spend lots of money on many games that just collect dust in your Steam library, but when it comes to building games I have found my current holy grail but AGAIN because of the access to the Workshop.

PC Specs : This game may be taxing for older PCs and if you want to get the most out of this game, like I mentioned you will most likely want to use Workshop mods and assets. Workshop items for this game use and demand LOTS OF RAM so I upgraded from 16gigs of ram to 32gigs just so I could use more workshop downloads. (Worth it but also find it weird how much RAM this game can end up needing)

Mods and Workshop Items As mentioned, Workshop downloads are what really makes this game. Without all the downloads and mods available on the Workshop this game would not be as great as it is. You will most likely want to use the Workshop so keep in mind my previous point. How good if you PC? How much RAM do you have?

So with all that said, if you've been looking for a city building game, your PC has the power, the RAM and you have the money to spend on the game (with or without a Steam sale) then I recommend it!
