10 Steam Machine Games That'll Make PS4 & Xbox One Owners Jealous

3. Cities: Skylines

Remember all your hopes and dreams for the last SimCity game, and how EA shattered them all by making it a buggy, unplayable mess? The trauma of that game may've made you forget what a city-builder should play like, but Cities: Skylines is here to restore your hope in the genre. Skylines goes back to the basics of city-building. The building tools are fantastic, giving you the flexibility and options to build your city just how you like it. You can build districts for specific types of businesses, tweak the tax rules to attract certain kinds of residents, and deal with many other aspects of city management. Skylines is developed by Colossal Order, the same people who made traffic management sim Cities in Motion. Some of the gameplay aspects from that game have carried over Skylines, and a big part of the game entails dealing with the city's road infrastructure and transit systems. While Skylines doesn't feature the random events and challenges of its inspiration and rival SimCity, it's still done enough to take it over as the world's best city-building sim. The recent After Dark expansion adds a Day/Night cycle that presents new challenges in terms of crime, traffic, and creating a night-life scene for your city.
