Cities: Skylines 2 devs ‘doing the best they can’ amidst overwhelmingly negative reviews

It isn’t uncommon for a sequel to be a shadow of its predecessor, but rarely is there a case like Cities: Skylines 2. Arguably a good game at its core, it has received poor reviews primarily due to performance issues, prompting the studio’s CEO to acknowledge the game’s current state.

On Feb. 26, Cities 2 developer Colossal Order’s CEO, Mariina Hallikainen, spoke in a regular “Word of the Week” update regarding the game’s current state. On “How to get out of this mess,” Hallikainen said CO would rather be in a different position than it is now but that it “cannot change the past.” The executive explained that the Swedish developer is doing “the best it can” to get the city-builder back on track, but “only time will tell” if that will work out as intended. She further explained the reasoning behind the studio’s move away from weekly updates, saying they put too much weight on the developers, which number only 30 in total.
