I’ve been playing a ton of Cities Skylines II since its release a week ago. After building a 230k population archipelago I started playing around with the in game cinematic video tools and this is the result.

This is 100% in game footage and effects using the Photo Mode. Recorded using the Microsoft/Xbox Game Bar, only editing was to trim the start and end.

  • I haven’t played it yet (and probably won’t, I didn’t like the first) but I enjoy how they actually tried to make it look nice. It’s not like the first game looked awful per se, but it definitely didn’t feel very inviting in my opinion. Everything felt so grey. I know real life cities are grey but this is a video game.
