Lego Skylines preview: a cozy city builder that keeps the series' depth

At Gamescom, Iceflake Studios showed Lego Skylines, a city builder blending Cities: Skylines mechanics with Lego aesthetics. The game focuses on gradual onboarding through career mode and an 'appeal' system for districts, while keeping water, power, and waste management.

• Career mode teaches mechanics gradually via citizen requests
• Appeal system requires decorating homes to match each resident's taste
• Buildings are assembled brick by brick, like real Lego
• Developers will have access to all IPs Lego has ever used
