Cities: Skylines 2 is rated 'Strong' after being reviewed by 29 critics, with an overall average score of 76. It's ranked in the top 33% of games and recommended by 67% of critics.
From reading through a few, it sounds like while the simulation has improved, it has usability/polish problems (and comparing it to a heavily updated game)
As usual, it sounds like it could have done with another few months of development.
I have little to no doubt that it will be updated. As far as I’m concerned though, this release is basically “early access”. It’s definitely not done yet.
Not that I necessarily disapprove of it being released before done! Modders need to get their hands on it as soon as they can so that can start doing their magic, and I have zero doubts that it will be completed soon enough. It’s a little rough around the edges now and needs some cleanup, but it’ll get there, and the new foundations and systems are worth it in my estimation. If for nothing else than parking being in the core simulation, given how huge an impact parking has on IRL cities…

Mods may fix a lot in the first few weeks though.
