Create smokestacks and jobs in Industries, the detailed new expansion for Cities: Skylines that lets you put natural resources to good use.
GameWatcher: 8.5 / 10 by Josh Brown
Running meaningful industries in your city is like playing a game within a game. Suddenly feeling like an entire county builder, it's safe to say that the unstoppable force of Cities: Skylines just got a whole lot bigger.
Invision Community: 8 / 10 by Nathan O’Grady
Ultimately, Industries is a solid, but subtle addition to Cities: Skylines. It is a great choice for anyone looking to freshen up their now three-and-a-half-year-old game, and at the same time keeps itself understated enough where it is not a requirement for your enjoyment. This feels like a DLC package aimed at those long-term fans who have stuck with the title from the beginning, and it does help to make the experience that much more “yours”, so to speak. If you have been playing this game for a while and have already picked up the shinier DLC packages, then Industries is very much for you.

Cities: Skylines - Industries Description
Industries is an expansion to Cities: Skylines, a popular economic strategy developed by Colossal Order. This time the authors focus on issues related to various industries.
Mechanics
In Cities: Skylines - Industries players can create specialized industrial districts: forest, mining, agricultural and refinery districts. The expansion allows not only to set up production chains from scratch, but also to build unique buildings like warehouses or factories (producing food, toys, furniture, cars and electronics). As the zones progress, they advance to the next level and increase their potential.
In addition, the authors allow us to delve deeper into issues relating to the import and export of goods, build roads and bushes out of postal and transport services. The list of novelties is completed by five new maps, as well as three new regulations related to the industry and four regulations concerning the functioning of the entire metropolis.
Technical aspects
Industries is a non-standalone add-on, so it requires the core version of the game to work. A new radio station, Synthetic Dawn Radio, was introduced in the add-on, thanks to which sixteen new songs can be heard during the gameplay.
