New medieval game mixes Manor Lords, Cities Skylines, and dynamic building tools

There is something very aesthetically pleasing about the zones and the construction squares in Cities Skylines 2. It’s like clicking in jigsaw pieces. After you build your road, you carefully line up industrial, commercial, and residential zones so they’ll look neat and almost symmetrical. But what if you want to ‘paint’ your cityscape with a free hand? Developed by a small team and playable soon on Steam, a new city-building game lets you imagine and construct enormous metropolises, but without the restriction of tiles or grids. A cozier, calmer take on Manor Lords, PCGamesN has just gotten an exclusive look at City Tales: Medieval Era.
