Just looking to gather opinions and thoughts from this community that were thinking of trying C:S II now that the game is out publicly.

Did you like it? Did you return it? Are you waiting until reports say it's better? Does it meet your bar of playable on your system as it is right now? Are there improvements over the original you were happy to see? Are there parts you miss? Are there still things you wish for?

7600X + 6700 XT combo here.

Performance is surprisingly bearable, but the lack of optimization is really obvious. For example when you want to place a cemetery, it lags like a LOT., when terraforiming often times the height gets messed up, because of stutters. Using CPP's 100k population, I get an 30-33 FPS while zoomed in the downtown.

Gameplay features are hit or miss. Road tools are literally amazing, but has it's drawbacks. Somehow sometimes 90 degree intersections don't actually turn out as 90, can't edit lines like TM:PE, traffic sign options are a literal joke. For example you can apply stop signs onto an intersection and it just applies a FOUR WAY stop signs. No other options. Also no bike paths (will come in the future freely), no zoning like in the Industries, University, Parks DLC, lack of props (like parks for example), etc.

Buildings looks pretty cool, but these european buildings doesn't seem that european to me (Although haven't checked highrise yet), scaling is weird for schools, like elementary and HS is absolutely HUGE.

TLDR: It's really really underbaked, should've delayed it like 6 months. I have refunded the game and returned back to C:S 1 with DLC unlocker.

It’s funny how you can build out a grid and find out it’s all off slightly. They’re doing some rounding somewhere and it gets clearer the further out from the start of a 90 degree you get
