Frustrations with Cities Skylines 2 are starting to boil over among city builder fans and content creators alike: "It's insulting to have a game release that way" (www.gamesradar.com)

I'm more annoyed that the underlying gameplay hasn't improved, there's still zero challenge and you have to actively go out of your way to bankrupt yourself. It's the same road builder as Cities In Motion was.

This seems like a major trend with modern management games. Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Cities Skylines... They all have great creative features but they all lack depth and challenge their predecessors had.
