However, regardless of which map you pick, the goal remains the same: to take your settlement from a small town and expand it to a metropolis. There is a selection of map environments, each possessing different factors such as certain natural resources, access to natural bodies of water, and climate. In Cities: Skylines you take on the role of the mayor of your very own city. So put your seatbelt on and place your table trays upright while we look at what the Airport DLC adds to the game. The latest DLC to be released is Airports, and as the name suggests, it adds the ability to design an airport in your city.

If on sale it does become a little bit more sensible so do look out for it on sale or pick up some discounted CD keys.System: Steam (Windows, macOS & Linux) also available on PS4 & Xbox One)ĭevelopers | Publishers: Colossal Order Ltd, Paradox Interactive Comparing to the other similar DLCs like Parklife and the Industries this one is quite lacking and a little bit disappointing.

Aesthetically speaking the DLC does add a nice amount, but in terms of depth and playability there really isn’t much there to keep you in long term. Within 30 minutes I had the highest level airport. I opened up a fairly late game city, set up a couple airports and got all achievements in about 5 minutes of playing. While the customisation options are nice and you can get some really cool looking airports, the money really just isn’t worth it. Overall for £10 I cannot say this DLC is worth it. The game also comes with a handful of new achievements, which are pretty easy to complete. You will get 3 new maps and the addition of the airport zones with loads of customisation options and new public transport skins. The DLC will set you back around £10 on consoles with CD keys being available for PC around £5. Your airports will level up as more people use them and you will even be able to create your own airline charging extortionate prices.

There is a really nice range of cosmetic items to add and even some new public transport links that can go straight into your terminals – subway, train and busses – all with some new unique skins for the vehicles. Using these modular components you build up the airport, adding terminals, runways, taxi roads, stands, parked airplanes, cargo planes and even hotels. Once an area has been dedicated for the airport you can choose from some basic airport components in 3 different styles. You get to zone out an airport area, which conveniently flattens the ground in the area (longer term City Skylines players will know the pain of flattening land to fit in an airport). As the name suggests this DLC focuses on airports.

Similarly to some of the previous DLCs released (Campus, Industries, Parklife) the game focuses on zoning new areas and levelling them up over time. In this review I will just be discussing the DLC in isolation. City Skylines: Airports is the 10th expansion pack for City Skylines published by Paradox Interactive.
