Grian Plays City Skylines: 2

Let Papa Paradox know who sent you: play.citiesskylines.com/Grian Game releases 24th October. Huge thanks to Paradox for sponsoring this video! #ad
The worst part of this is that I was genuinely trying to make a good city, it just went downhill very fast.

[@Grian]

Let Papa Paradox know who sent you: play.citiesskylines.com/Grian! I mega enjoyed playing this (and I have continued the city of Redemption) and I'm sure if you like city builders you will LOVE this!

[@ItsInf]

By chance did you get a new editor? It seems like a diffrent editing style!

[@Yozo_official]

Alright great!

[@rened.5998]

Grian I think your Minecraft settings are off. The game looks wired. 😂

Alright

[@purplechickeneevee]
