Cities Skylines is an interesting little game. It is all you would expect it to be more or less but overall I couldn't stop comparing it to SimCity, a game which just destroys Cites Skylines in the fun and playability sector.
This is by no means an awful game, it has all the similar tropes of the Simcity franchise i.e building the districts, hooking up power and water, keeping the people happy etc however it does lack a simple style of play. This game feels a bit clumpy at times and can be frustrating while you are trying to learn the ropes. Some more decent explanations or tutorials would make the game feel better, it is a bit hard to get you head round from the outset but after a few play troughs you will no doubt get the ins and outs of it.
The graphics are fine, the animations are nice and clear but the only issue really is I would of liked a faster speed setting choice. It isn't all bad though, generally the game is pretty fun to mess about with when you have a little time to kill, and it isn't too taxing. If you have played SimCity before this may be a little boring for you but for new players to build it sim games this is a good little starter.
