“The coin game” has some of the best designed minigames ive ever seen!
The game is essentially just a collection of minigames, but it is put together incredibly well

What you’re describing is a 200(ish) mile round trip commute… aka 3(ish) hours in the car. Your post makes it sound like this is just a normal, everyday thing that a majority of Americans do, but its not…
as a daily commute, this is squarely classified as a “super commute”… about 2% of American commuters hate their life enough that they willingly subject themselves to such a grueling commute. Well outside the norm…

They’ve been playing ads for at least a decade… though in the early days, some of the gas stations near me played some cringy jimmy kimmel shit instead of ads (somehow, i preferred having my ears violated by the ads)
Yet one more thing that makes me thankful to have gotten rid of my car completely… not being dependent on gas stations is super liberating.

I’ve been enjoying it… Lots of cool new features & fun gameplay… Have about 6 hours in it right now. Overall, i feel like the game has lots of potential even if some of it is unrealized at the moment.
PC Specs: laptop with i7-9750H, RTX 2060, 16gb ram… (below recommended hardware, but above minimum hardware)
Regarding performance: When I first got in, it was pretty rough… lots of blurry blobs of textures, invisible buildings, and lots of lag… Once I played with the graphic settings though, these issues effectively disappeared. The game looks very good and is very playable. It does still studder on occasion, but nothing that makes the game feel unplayable.
Regarding playability: The gameplay feels like a real upgrade compared to CS1. I know it sounds cliche, but the cities really do feel super alive. The progression feels natural and exciting. I actually got so inveloped in the gameplay that i completely lost track of time & ended up going to bed much later than i wanted lol.
While overall I really enjoy the game, there are a couple things to note that I find particularly annoying: 1 - The achievements… IMO, achievements are super dumb to begin with (wish there was a way to blanket turn them off), but CS2 really takes it to a whole new annoying level. Example: one achievement is to cure 6000 sims in the clinic/hospital. It literally gives you a popup notification for every… single… one of those 6000 sims cured. So incredibly annoying. 2 - I’ve encountered some minor bugs here and there… nothing game breaking, but they did get slightly annoying… 1 in particular was little invisible pockets of water on the land that made road placement difficult.
