Cities: Skylines
Great game with loads of content and mods to keep the game fun. New DLC’s are a big reason why I’m still playing this game after so many years. I wouldn’t recommend buying them for the full price though, they are quite expensive. Just wait for a sale where most of them are 50% off.

If you’re into building stuff from scratch, loved Sim City, and cannot help yourself trying to do something better and more beautiful, buy the game. There’s nothing better. Be prepared to give a healthy chunk of your life, you budding City Planner!
Intuitive design, layered sophistication in game play, and plenty of mods and tools keeps you engaged for hundreds of hours.
I’m a relative amateur with a mere 339 hours of playtime. Just saying.
Enjoy!

Construction Simulator 2015
My take on Con Sim 2015
PROS:
-
The multiplayer aspect, WHEN(and I can’t stress that enough) you have decent people who aren’t just there to crash into things and wreck your experience, is a LOT of fun. I dig the sense of accomplishment when you and 3 buddies have worked for 2-3 hours on something and finally finish it. Some of the late game jobs can take quite a while from start to finish, which is nice, but can be tedious.
-
The complexity of some of the machines is quite engrossing IE: the concrete pump; mobile crane; tower crane, just to name a few. The overall detail of the machines is quite decent, this coming from working in the industry and seeing these machines on a daily basis.(To be fair, that’s in Canada, so I’m referring to the North American counterparts; JD; CAT, etc etc.)

TL:DR: This game is good if you like complex machine-driving simulators. Driving controls can be a little shifty in the small vehicles, but are passable in the bigger vehicles - and that’s most of them. Graphics are very good and performance wise the game runs well for a DirectX 9 game, but it does hit the GPU hard (which is normal for DX9 games). For the most part the game will happily run at 60 fps, but in the central city and when it’s saving and loading the performance will drop and when you have multiple projects running it can get rather stuttery.
