Same, though I had to restart Steam to get the Install button to appear.

After perusing some reviews, they seem to really use a variety of different metrics to judge the game, and it seems that sometimes, the words they use to describe the game doesn't match up to the score.
For example, the Game Informer review calls it the new "gold standard" of city building games, which implies to me that it is the best city building game, and thus a really high score. However, the final score is 80, which while good, doesn't seem representative of a "gold standard", which would then imply that the city building genre overall is lacking since the best city building game in its genre "only" gets and 80.
He also doesn't mention the cost of the game, which inadvertently compares Skylines to other games that cost 2 to 3 times as much.
Sorry if I'm rehashing tired arguments or whatever, I don't really read reviews anymore. It seems like most of them are terrible

They are actually completely unrelated games.
Just the preorder bonuses. Steam just adds everything as DLC now.
I think it's sarcasm.
Downloading!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOEi4LreM34

They're not the same franchises. The dev for Cities: Skylines did Cities in Motion 1 and 2. Cities XL and Cities XXL are unrelated.

Seriously! Why would they even release this when their new, much better version is just weeks away!?!?
IT'S DOWNLOADED! I CAN PLAY!
On a serious note. I remember the Paradox press conference where this was announced. Not that long ago, but the wait was a torture! Haven't been this hyped for a game in a long time! Goodbye world!

Yep, agreed 100%. It's why I always wait for consumer reviews and impressions, they are always more accurate for me. Official reviews all too often get it wrong or complain about the wrong things while ignoring the broken stuff.

I think I need to replace my sarcasm meter now. Or maybe sarcasm is really hard to detect on the Internet.
2 minutes for me

You need to upgrade your sarcasm detectors
Considering how many people have confused the XL/XXL series and Skylines the past few weeks, you can't really assume anything.
