Personally never had a problem with Victoria 3. A bit buggy on release but nothing game breaking

I played city skylines 2 at launch and I thought it was good. After 100 hours though I realized it was complete trash and was a scam.

It's still amazing to me how they fucked that up so badly.

IMO it's just unfinished and will probably shine with time. I got CS1 and played it for 2 years, then stopped in 2019 after reaching about 160 hours. It took me less than 2 months to reach 100 hours in CS2, and it's so much more fun.

I do think that it will be good eventually if they can fix the simulation and simulation speed. But I'm disappointed with the price of the game compared to the lack of in-game content. The assets look so bad and most of the game simulation is smoke and mirrors which killed the game enjoyment for me.

I'd love skylines 2 if I could just play it above 30fps on low graphics. I know I'd get a higher performance if I wasn't playing it in Proton, but still. I have an RX 5700xt, it shouldn't be this bad

I get good fps but sim speed falls off a cliff over 150k pop. But even if it didn't the assets are ugly and boring to use
