Brick-Built Cities: Lego Skylines Hints at a Deeper City-Sim than It Appears
TL;DR Summary
Lego Skylines blends playful Lego visuals with Paradox’s depth, starting as a micro-scale city builder where you place houses and decorative bits, then grows into a full metropolis with roads, services, pollution controls, education, and citizen preferences—driven by milestone progression, with a hinted-at deeper customization still to be revealed. It’s pitched as a cosy, adult-oriented city sim and is due in 2027 on PC and major consoles (Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X/S).
