As a big fan of cities Skylines 1 (>400h), I only decided to get the sequel after I saw creators play it and there was a promotional sale.

The performance issues are bad and I get 40fps at 1080p medium on my system, with a 40k city. But the game really is better than vanilla C:S 1 in a bunch of ways. In particular, the way lanes are handled and the size of the map is better.

It takes time to make something great. I bounce between both games at this point, and just play other games. I now have 28h in the sequel so I say I got my money's ($36 due to the sale) worth. I'm patient. There are so many games and mods for other games on my backlog, I can just play those until Cities Skylines II has fixed its major issues.

Yup, I'm happy to wait until C:S2 is ready. I have it on my wishlist, so whenever there's a sale, I'll check out the current state and decide if it's time to buy.

Until then, I have plenty of other games to play.
