About

Cities XL was intended to be an Online Multiplayer game, where people would build their own cities and trade materials or blueprints. This was one of the ways to improve the game City Life and bring more detailed and grander experience. But it became a single-player game, due to the lack of online subscriptions, so now any new player will have the tools and possibilities, meant for a much bigger project. Cities XL Platinum edition of the game added even more features.
The gameplay is straightforward – players have access to the resources and landscape, and they have to build a city with a working infrastructure. Three types of building can be built in the assigned zones: Reside, Commercial and Industrial. Social classes of potential residents can separate residential areas. The task is to run a simulation of a functional city, where the mayor has to listen to the concerns of residents, building and fixing roads and means of public transportation and make sure, that there’s always enough energy and resources. Players will be able to build more than 1000 buildings on 60 expansive maps.

No support for SLI and, worse, no support for multithreading! Not to mention repeated crashes and a pitiful ergonomics, to avoid!

As expected, the game is by Lengths better than Sim City and meets all expectations .. I can only go on and recommend who has fun with such simulation.

It's just extremely bad. The Males look totally for the ... n Ars ... You can't Build houses out and Houses, even though I've already watched the Tutorial for the 3x.

This Game is the best game I've tried around the construction of cities, I would not recommend to people who do not like this type of simulators since it is quite complex

Pointless Control, annoying Tutorial, poor Performance-stopped after 2 Hours. Not recommended. Better to Cities: Grab Skylines, arguably the best city simulator on the Market.

Buy the Sklines and don't waste your time with this. Besides, it's a bad fact. When you're a while (half an hour or even less) playing with a medium/large city collapses and starts to go fatal.

Concept at the top but clearly poorly optimized game! 16Gb of RAM, core I7 and GTX 1070 are not enough. It's rowing, it's rowing and it's rowing when you reach 300 000 inhabitants! and the game crashes as soon as a backup is made! Dismal!

Super Strategy Game with a lot of Potential for a Successor. Unfortunately, however, the Game lacks control and Overview. Rating: 3.5/5 + Super Gameplay + Very Realitic-Confusing-Messages are very monogenic-Start Menu unusable

If you liked the Sim City you will love it. With a game premise similar to Sim City this "Cities XL Platinum" improves its competitor in variety, simplicity of play and its wide variety of structures that are complemented by user-created content. Recommended for all those who like management. ~ 10 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 7 ~ ~ 5 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It Is a game type Simcity but more based on the economy of the city than in the construction. It is very well done and it is entertaining. The problem is that there is no solution for a performance problem of the game itself and at half an hour or an hour of play begins to freeze the image. IT's NOT worth buying. It is NOT finished by the developers to make it optimal.
