Do you have Citrix Workspace installed in your machine?
Citrix Workspace is known to cause issues with Unity - the engine in which the game runs on.
You can see more info in this thread:
Citrix Workspace crashing Cities: Skylines
If you are experiencing random crashes when the game was running fine in the past please check if you have a program called Citrix Workspace installed. At the moment this program is causing Unity to crash (randomly it seems) and the solution is...
A workaround is to uninstall Citrix and then install it again through the Windows App Store - that version apparently doesn't cause issues with Unity.
Is this the first time you're trying to run the game or has it worked before?
Does the launcher appear when you click "Play" on Steam or not even that?
Does any message pop up when the game closes, like if a crash report is generated?

I haven't been able to start the game yet because every time I click the "PLAY" button it changes to "STARTING" and then back to "PLAY" after a few seconds. No error message appears

Search for cities.exe in your Windows Explorer and that should take you to that folder
There should be a search box in the upper right corner of the screen when you open your Windows Explorer.
Alternatively, there's also a search function in the taskbar (magnifying glass icon)

Right click on the game in your Steam Library, manage, browse local files. Cities.exe is there.
But the above process will only help if you have a launcher problem rather than a game issue. When you hit PLAY in Steam do you see our launcher?

I already found the files. When I click the "PLAY" button, nothing starts, only after a few seconds I can click the button again
I'm not quite following your posts here.
You never see our launcher? If so the steps in the link in post #8 above should get past that.
Or the game now works for you?
