Cities: Skylines 2's First DLC Has Displeased the Community

The fact that a DLC called "Beach Properties" is actually lacking a beach has irritated the players.

The first post-launch DLC for the game Cities: Skylines 2 was released, but it has been met with mixed reactions from players. The majority of the feedback has been negative though, with players expressing disappointment and frustration over the DLC's content and unsolved issues in the game.

The DLC, titled 'Beach Properties', includes:

  • No beaches.
  • 10 North American residential buildings with 3 levels (30 assets).
  • 10 European residential building with 3 levels (30 assets).
  • 6 signature buildings.
  • 4 New trees.

Criticism was largely focusing on two points. Firstly, some players felt the pricing of $10 was unjustified given the lack of new and exciting features in the DLC. The buildings, waterfront zone, and trees were seen as ordinary additions that lacked the creativity and attractiveness that players desired. The absence of a beach in the 'Beach Properties' DLC was also a common complaint among players.

Secondly, players got even more frustrated about the persisting bugs and issues in the original game, which some labeled as 'unfinished' despite being released for around five months. These players argued that the developers should prioritize resolving the issues, like unstable performance, in the main game before focusing on creating DLCs.

In response to the overwhelmingly negative feedback after launch, the developers previously requested players to be less 'toxic' and maintain a more positive attitude. However, it appears the situation has worsened with the release of this DLC.

Let's be a bit more positive now and look at the developers' progress. They delivered a beta version of the mod, which at least allows players to enjoy their creation while temporarily leaving the unsolved issues in the game behind.
