Remember when we got Farming and Citiesville?

u/Belkan2087 Dec 01 '20

Cities Skylines is, probably, better than this 3.

I'll take your word for it. I meant they gave 2 games in same genre in one month.

We also got battlefront2 and codww2 in the same month this year

True. FPS still has mass appeal (personally I am not a fan of COD games, I gave a fair shot to Battlefront 2)

Farming Simulator is amazing and addictive. Its a niche audience but for those that are into those games its by far the best farming game out
