Fire, police, ambulance, and education institutions need to be placed within a certain distance of the neighborhood they’ll serve.
Solar and wind are less efficient, but there’s nothing better for the environment. Nuclear is expensive, but offers tremendous power in exchange for a little bit of risk and waste.

Commercial spaces satisfy these types of needs. Once your people have a place to live, they’ll need places to shop. It’s crucial that you give a care as to how much room you leave for expansion as larger buildings require more space.

But what if you could do all of it from a brand new perspective? Cities: VR looks to do exactly that, putting players directly into their own municipal sandbox and turning them loose. Hitting milestones gives you more tools to play with, letting you expand your city and subsequently manage it according to your whims.
And just like the pancake-screen version, you’ll unlock additional buildings and options by bringing in as many people as you can to grow your fledgling city. Just like its bigger brother, the game starts with some short tutorials to show you how the various mechanics work. Well, what if you could get into the city building action in virtual reality? Let’s pop on our Oculus Quest 2 and find out if Cities: VR is a skyscraper or if we should declare this game condemned.ĭeveloped by Fast Travel Games (developers of the excellent VR music maker, Virtuoso), Cities: VR is a slimmed down version of Cities: Skylines. EA’s SimCity 2013 has one huge feather in its cap - it inspired developer Colossal Order to make the far-superior Cities: Skylines!
