Anyone have any opinion on Cities Skylines or Earth 2170?

Also can anyone recommend a good RTS (does not have to be on sale atm, I can keep watch) I have not played an RTS since StarCraft 2 first came out.

Any thoughts on Stranded Deep? I've been lost on the dozens of open world survival/build/whatevers ever since dayz got popular. This was one of few seemed somewhat unique but not sure how actually fun the thing is.
I'm personally waiting for more content to be added (or lower price) to justify a purchase. The graphics are really nice, but when I tried the game after release+1st patch I was not really enjoying it. Hopefully that will change with time and I'm waiting for more updates/features as I like the genre.

PS. Even though not by the same developer, Stranded Deep seems to me to use the concept of Stranded and Stranded II from 2003 and 2007 with a higher focus on water exploration. Free to play, but outdated graphics and game mechanics for 2015:Unreal Software - game dev and stuff

Skylines is a MUST buy if you like SimCity.

Skip anno, fun game first few hours but to progress the era tedium is eq2 launch month level of crafting with all the sub combines.

Good RTS is vague, can't go wrong with total war games or King Arthur, or for more command and conquer like grey goo is decent, but I would play dawn of war: retribution before GG. If you like to micro, company of heroes 2 is on sale.

Skylines is the actual successor to Simcity 2000.

I don't own Deus Ex: HR or Just Cause 1 or 2, and a few other random things. This Eidos Anthology for $30 actually seems like a killer deal.

I picked up Ori and started playing it today and put in 5 hours so far. My hand is starting to cramp, lol. Also my wife would be annoyed if I finished it without her :p So good though.

Resisted it all since i have such a back log, but broke down on Elite in the name of supporting them or something. Hope my computer can even run it. (Upgrade was scheduled not until winter.) Dont even have a stick or anything.

I want to purchase Wolfenstein: New Order and Cities Skyline, but I know I'll never get to them before they go on sale for even cheaper.... ugh. Showing restraint on a Steam sale is hard.
