Looking at you MKJ. Wondering how is it? I was thinking of getting it but I'm not sure the controls are good?

Controls are fine, although getting intersections to behave can be tricky.
It's a fine sandbox, albeit a little light on actual gameplay. Setting up a successful city is probably easier than it should be. Mind you, I haven't tried it since the release of the Natural Disasters DLC.

It's excellent, control scheme works very well.
Roadmanagment is a bit finnicky but that was always the case.
There's not really a challenge factor tho, it's all very casual. Sure you can completely fuck up but only if you're really trying, otherwise the game just rolls along.

Also a lower price tag than other games.

There are mods that fix the intersection management, if you're willing to sift through the thousands of mods in the Steam Workshop. I had a good bunch of fun for quite a few months with the game, but eventually I broke it by installing too much crap and got overwhelmed.

See my first post, it actually translates surprisingly well.

Given the choice between PC and console, why would you ever go with the console version, though? I just figured everyone posting at Q3W has a gaming PC of some sort, though this game isn't particularly demanding if you fiddle with the sliders.
