1H1D #72: Cities: Skylines

SimCity may be gone, but that left a vacancy for a spiritual successor.



Once upon a time, a game called SimCity was synonymous with the sim game genre. Of course, that was before its final entry totally bombed, souring the brand recognition of a storied franchise. Seizing their opportunity, this power vacuum in the city sim space was filled by a certain city-building game developed by Colossal Order and published by Paradox Interactive. Will this 2015 title be able activate the nostalgia centers in the brains of our hosts? Is it divergent enough from the SimCity formula to avoid being seen as a clone? Will Tom be able to use a mouse and keyboard even though he is playing on the Xbox One? Most importantly, will the 1H1D team regret turning over control of the game selection to their listeners? Specifically Matt Sacco from The Crowned Heathens podcast? Find out the answers to these questions and more as Tom and Chris sit down to chat about their hour and give you their final decision.
