This is pretty forgivable since you can readily turn down the visual settings, and I definitely prefer it over simply not being able to have simultaneous disasters. The most convincing defense of visuals like this is that better-looking disasters might have seriously compromised performance, and yes, it slows down to a crawl when you have multiple catastrophes happening at once. Finally, it's a bit disappointing both from a visual and gameplay standpoint that asteroids tend to clip through any mountains as they come down. Adding some simple white foam and brown coloring would've gone a long way to alleviate this problem at little cost. Instead of being a violent rush of muddy ocean sweeping around skyscrapers and filling up the streets, it's a translucent blob that never reacts to even the largest of buildings. You'll never look at Iowa the same way again.īut then there's the average-looking fire, or the not-so-impressive tsunami, which seems to retain the mediocre water physics of the base game. In its wake is a giant scar through the concrete, along with a huge gap where your buildings were leveled in the blink of an eye. It violently rips through anything it touches, sweeping up cars along the way and tossing them to their doom.
The most impressive one, the tornado, is absolutely horrifying, especially when cranked up to 10. Nothing already in the game gets any kind of face lift, but I suppose it's pretty important to mention how the disasters look. What this amounts to is a game-changing package with a great price point. This changes the experience in several ways and generally makes managing a city more difficult. These include earthquakes, asteroids, tsunamis, wildfires, sinkholes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms, all of which vary in intensity. Randomly, or at your will, a variety of natural disasters can ravage a city. This expansion adds little more than its namesake, and it doesn't need to. Natural Disasters, the latest expansion pack to the excellent Cities: Skylines, serves as a engaging reminder.
Even in our big cities, where we're safe from crocodiles and bears, the ocean and weather are known to lash out and cause problems.
Let's be honest: Mother Nature can be pretty brutal.
