Cities XXL is a city-building computer game developed by Focus Home Interactive as a sequel to their earlier game Cities XL Platinum. It was released worldwide via Steam on February 5, 2015.[1] The game allows players to design, build, and manage cities. The game has been met with mostly negative reviews citing a lack of new features and still existing performance issues.[2]

Gameplay[]

Zoning[]

The game offers the designation of three types of building lots: residential, commercial and industrial. Each of which can have a different density. Residential lots have four social classes: unskilled workers, skilled workers, executives, and elites. Before designating building lots, the game requires players to select which class of residents may live there. The social class chosen for a lot will not be modified by the simulation.

To create building lots, players can zone an area of the map in which, upon confirmation, individual building lots will be created by the game. Players can also plop building lots individually.

Transport[]

Cities XXL allows players to create a road network of a variety of road types at many different angles and curvatures. Bridges and tunnels are also part of the simulator. Other transport options are buses, trains, ferries, and subways.

Reception[]

Cities XXL received mixed to negative reviews mostly due to lack of new content and poor multithreading support.
