Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Impressed with the graphics and overall performance (now) even with large populations - something which can't be said with cities skylines 2.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The trade system is handy, the logistics are challenging, but manageable, and the game DEFINITELY has a learning curve to it.
