There are a ton of bugs. There are buildings that flat out don’t work. The Post Office Sorting is broken. Garbage Pick Up is broken. Cargo import / export is broken. CIMs behave irrationally; i.e. if you charge $100 parking on the street, and offer a $10 parking garage to park, they will still choose the street. There are graphical issues (things look blurry and flickery when zooming). Traffic ignores traffic laws and a lot of the easy, quality of life building that didn’t exist in the first game, exist here.

I am pushing through a lot of these bugs, and ultimately, I do not have the sense of enjoyment I had in the first game. We all need to remember we are talking about a game studio with a team of 30 or so developers; so I have no doubt these issues will be fixed eventually, but for right now, this is a thumbs down rushed launch.
