What players say
Players see Cities XL Platinum as a dated but affordable city builder that runs on lower-end machines. Many compare it to Cities: Skylines and say Skylines is better. The game has notable traffic and debt difficulty, and some players find it nearly impossible without cheats. Community sentiment is split on its value, and a long-time player reports the Russian language was removed.
