SimCity was released in 1989. It’s essentially the same game as Cities Skylines.
Absolutely isn't the same.
You can see design evolution. It wouldn't be too hard to describe C:S as Sim City 5.
Same genre for sure, totally different game in how it functions. It's like saying Quake is the same as Call of Duty because you shoot things.
C:S had a lot of similarities to the Sim City that was released as its contemporary.
SimCity: open-ended city building game.
Cities Skylines: open-ended city building game.
The big difference between any Sim City game and Cities Skylines is Cities Skylines has an extremely in-depth traffic simulation that actually punishes bad road design and encourages non-car modes of transit. Meanwhile Sim City always made nods to traffic, it never bothered with actual per person routing where you can focus on tweaking a single intersection for hours trying to get it to flow nicely
One thing SimCity (except 2013) has is much better city management system. In C:S it feels almost trivial compared to SimCity.
Call of duty: first person shooter
Doom 1993: first person shooter
They are essentially the same game!
