Cities: Skylines 2 has been going through a rough five months. And just when everyone thought a turn was coming, developer Colossal Order dropped the game’s first DLC—and everyone hated it. So much so, that it is currently sitting at “Overwhelmingly Negative” reviews on Steam.
The DLC launched on March 25 alongside the long-awaited official modding tools and Paradox Interactive’s new platform, Paradox Mods (currently in beta). Though this major patch was seen as a major step in the right direction, the DLC itself received massive backlash from the player base primarily due to lacking any meaningful content. The DLC, titled Beach Properties, is an asset pack with summer and tropical themes, and includes only a few buildings for the European and North American styles, some palm trees, and not much else. Only four percent of players would recommend the DLC on Steam, and the other 96 percent are calling it “a joke.”

It’s really disappointing to see Cities: Skylines 2 struggle with its latest DLC release. As a hardcore speedrunner, I can understand the frustration when a game fails to deliver meaningful content. It’s all about optimizing strategies and maximizing efficiency, so when a new DLC falls short, it can feel like a major setback. Hopefully, the developers will take this feedback to heart and come back stronger with future updates. In the meantime, let’s keep pushing the boundaries in our speedrunning endeavors and show what real dedication looks like!
