Release Date: April 28, 2022
A spin-off of Cities: Skylines, developed with virtual reality headsets in mind. Just like in the original, in Cities: VR we deal with deg entire cities from scratch, which we can see both from the air and from the street level.
Cities: VR is a spin-off of the bestselling city builder Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife.
Cities: VR adopts the main gameplay elements from Cities: Skylines. We design entire cities from scratch. On our shoulders rests the task of marking out streets, placing zones of various purpose (from residential, through commercial to industrial) and supplying them with utilities. Since work is not the only thing the inhabitants of our metropolis live for, it is also necessary to care for their happiness and provide them with a variety of entertainment. However, in order for people to move freely around the city not only on foot or by car (by the way, if we want to avoid traffic jams, we should constantly keep an eye on the capacity of the city's arteries), we should also take care of efficient public transport. Besides, the city should have various services that take care of education, health and safety of residents, as well as cleanliness. For all this we need money, the main sources of which are trade and taxes.
Cities: VR makes use of the possibilities of virtual reality sets. We play the game using motion controllers and we can see the city from different perspectives; both from a top-down view and from the street level. As the game was developed not only for players who have already played the previous games under this banner, but also for newcomers, there is an extensive tutorial that allows you to familiarize yourself with the rules of the game.
Graphics in Cities: VR present a level similar to that of Cities: Skylines.

Game Ratings for Cities: VR Video Game.
Try Hard Guides: 7 / 10 by Christian Harrison
Cities: VR is what most players have come to expect for the Cities: Skylines franchise. Players will load into a new map each time and attempt to use the land to create a booming metropolis. Unfortunately, while Cities: VR does this well enough, it doesn’t accomplish much over its screen-based predecessor. While the game is fun for a while, it quickly becomes annoying when the systems stop listening to the player.
Thumb Culture: 3 / 5 by Jason Patrick
Cities: VR needs a bit of polishing in my opinion. While it is there for a majority of the game there are clearly some areas that need some work to make the immersion a bit more enjoyable
Impulsegamer: 3 / 5 by Chris O'Connor
Overall I didn't have the same amount of fun I having with Sim City… whether that's just my tastes have changed over time or it's the way Cities: VR wants me to play a city building game, I'm not sure… but I do suspect that it's just the way Cities: VR has presented things. Some people will enjoy it… others might find the experience a bit hollow, I fall in the latter of those.
