About

In one of the most in-depth expansions in Cities: Skylines history, Industry becomes a larger and more meaningful part of the game with this expansion. Players can customize their industrial areas with supply chains for the four different resource types and unique factories. Well managed industry areas will level up and become more efficient. Aside from production chains, there is a new city service for handling mail and the cargo airport eases import and export of factory goods. There are FIVE new maps, new policies, new city services, new buildings (including resource extractors, manufacturers, warehouses and unique factories) and more.

Industries somehow feels like both a worthwhile and an unnecessary addition to the Cities: Skylines family. Requiring direct management of industrial development definitely adds dimension to budding metropolises. Paying attention to nothing but smokestacks and jobs for a while also represents a needed change of pace from what has become a familiar city-building experience.

Industries isn't the total economic overhaul it could have been, but it still brings plenty of fresh content to Cities: Skylines.

This is an absolute must-have DLC for Cities: Skylines enthusiasts. It's one of the best expansion packs to come into gaming itself in years, and it brings Skylines closer to being the ultimate only city-builder you'll ever need. The way industrial zones will change the way your cities function and serve as the focus of a powerhouse economy turns one of the biggest albatrosses of the late-game into an integrated part of the game's overall strategy from small town to metropolis.

Overall Industries is another excellent package for Cities: Skylines, with the DLC train once more delivering the goods. Veterans will have a great time diving into the industry world, giving reason to drop more hours along with those already invested in this enormous game. I do however think it’s better to start a new city than try and introduce the Industries pack into an existing one, mainly because of the lack of space, but then, I am an awful town planner and others with a better sense of space management will no doubt fare a lot better.

Cities: Skylines - Industries is arguably the game’s first real expansion, with past offerings feeling like glorified item packs by comparison. For those who picked up the Parklife expansion released a few months back, it’s easy to think Colossal Order used that to test the waters for what would ultimately make up this new release. If you played that one, you’ll latch onto Industries no problem. If not, well… let’s just say you’ll feel like you’ve been pushed into the deep end for a while.
