Fallout 4's impending next-gen update will almost certainly "break" many mods, according to a Fallout London modder, causing the "game-sized" project to be delayed indefinitely.
Cities: Skylines 2 Reviews Fall To Mostly Negative Over "Low Quality" DLC
26.03.2024 - 14:49 / thegamer.com
Cities: Skylines 2's Steam reviews have fallen into the "mostly negative" category as players grow increasingly frustrated with the state of the game. The issue has only been made worse with the release of a new DLC back, Beach Properties, which players say is not worth the money and doesn't contain much new content at all.
The base game's overall reviews are "mixed", but recent reviews are mostly negative. Even longtime fans of the series say that the current state of Cities: Skylines 2 is unacceptable, complaining that its city simulation features don't work as intended, making it a "mess" to play.
"I desperately wanted to love this game. loved the first and had a lot of hype for this one," reads a negative Steam review. "It just isn't a good game at the minute [...] do not buy, not even on sale. Just wait until they fix it."
Some are even harsher: "This game is complete trash. And now they are charging for paid DLC before fixing the fundamental problems of the game? Enough said."
This feeling that paid DLC is being used to fix the game is shared by other players. Unsurprisingly, this means that the latest DLC pack, Beach Properties, is already flooded with negative reviews, despite only launching yesterday. At the time of writing, it has 450 negative ratings and just 27 positive scores.
The original Cities: Skylines, which launched in 2015, still has very positive reviews on Steam.
Cities: Skylines 2 launched last October and was immediately criticised for lacking features from the first game. It did, however, receive average reviews from critics, with many praising what is there, even if there were some glaring omissions in the game's offerings. In our review, Senior Specialist Writer Harry Alston gave Cities: Skylines 2 a four out of five, praising the building mechanics, and improved visuals, and saying that the game felt more alive than ever. He did note that there were performance issues though, as well as the aforementioned missing content that fans are still waiting for.
At the very least, Cities: Skylines 2 now has official mod support, having been added to the game yesterday. You'll find a tab for mods in the main menu, making it easier for those unfamiliar with modding their games to download some fanmade creations. This is only in the beta stage right now though, so the mods available will be limited. If you want more variety, fans have been making mods for the game since its launch (via a fan site), you'll just have to install them yourself.

Which Fallout radio station reigns supreme?
One of the hallmarks of modern Fallout games is getting to listen to a radio while you trek around the Wasteland. The radio is, of course, full of sweet tunes to enjoy, but the radio hosts often take the mic in order to share some fun world-building facts and keep the player company on the road. Many of these songs show up in the Amazon Prime Fallout series — but which radio station is the best listen?
