We got our first proper look at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cities: Skylines 2 at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase, and now that city builder fans have had a chance to pore over the new trailer and screenshots, they're in awe of one ꦕparticular quality-of-life feature: utilities are now directly tied to the roads you lay down.
At least, that's how showcasing the road-building tool makes it look. If you look real close at the various road icons at the bottom of the screen, you'll see that they each show three pipes underneath, color-coded just as you'd expect for water, power, and sewage. It sure looks like Cities: Skylines 2 will save us from th🐼e fiddly management of power and water lines that has plagued the genre for years.

It looks like there's about to be some serious competition among the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best city-building games.
