Been playing cities: skylines on my switch for the past week due to lacking access to my pc.
It‘s exactly how I imagined it to be, so props to the devs. The controls are really good surprisingly. However I had to start over several times just because of the traffic. It‘s rather incredible that from a certain size of your city onwards the traffic jus seems to completely go down the drain. How I solved those issues: planning ahead. You can‘t just start your main road with a road with only 1 lane in each direction. And highway is inaccessible early on, too. Especially your industry area will soon be completely swarmed. I also tried traffic circles since those are supposed To make the traffic more fluent, but that didn‘t work either since in those pre-created circles there was only 1 lane. So I made my own with a 2-lane 1-way Road. That didn‘t solve it either. So I made a separate crossing in the middle of the circle, but the traffic was still stuck after a while.
I won‘t tell you how I managed it in the end because finding it out is part of the fun
i studied that traffic long enough to understand what roads are meant best for what purpose.
Either way, my town is now further ahead than ever and the traffic problem is solved. Now I just keep growing my city hehe
I wouldn‘t recommend that game for switch though because it‘s lagging a lot even though I didn‘t even fill 1 square of building areas ( you can have more than 5), so it‘s actuall quite disappointing.
