Paradox Interactive just released their city builder expansion, Cities: Skylines - Parklife for consoles, which aims at making cities more alive with new amusement parks, nature reserves, city parks and zoos, plus some lush gardens to fill the empty spaces around town. There's a ton of new stuff to screw around with here, from roller coasters and campsites to flower beds, fountains and flamingos, and the new park area tool will let you create park districts wherever there is empty space. Toss in some new city services like Park Maintenance, which boosts happiness and effectiveness and helps level up parks, and you are off to the building races.
The expansion also features new ways to customize your city: new buildings and assets, a new sightseeing bus line, new service buildings, unique buildings like amusement parks, nature reserves, city parks and zoos, and a regal new monument, the Castle of Lord Chirpwick. On top of all that, there are three new city policies and eight new park policies to deal with recreational hazards like Animal Ethics and Fireworks. Don't combine the two, that's just asking for disaster.
Cities: Skylines - Parklife is out now on PS4 and Xbox One for $14.99.
