It's hellish fun creating his first line and just watch only by train, as he had himself paves way through the countryside. In addition, the game calls for a steadily improving existing lines or the replacement of old vehicles (old vehicles have higher operating costs). Even after hours you will find something that could be improved, or is working on enier another route.
We really liked having me:
+ Diverse card in 3 sizes
+ An extensive fleet
+ Detailed and realistic car models with beautiful sound
+ Growing cities with real (!) Simulated residents
+ Recommend the comfortable control, especially during track construction and the roads upgrade tool
+ Full mod support
+ Even after hours still exciting and motivating
Needs improvement:
- Upgrade of normal rails on high-speed rail is not possible (but was already announced)
- No ambient noise (wind, birds, etc.)
- Industry still very rudimentary (commodity chains, little available resources and industries)
- Roads may (yet) be moved over rails
- TGV hardly worth it because you can hardly even take advantage of the top speed of 300 km / h on major cards (außerem very high operating costs)
- Game is still very easy - already with a few lines you can quickly amass money and who cares about his peniebel old vehicles rarely comes into the red. In addition, there is no credit limit (at least I have not reached it yet, if there should be a ^^)
- Small performance issues with large maps and lots of lines / vehicles (developers have already announced plans to optimize CPU utilization for multi-core processors)
Despite the points that I consider to be in need of improvement, there is a full 5 stars from me, because the developers really did a good job here, also is placed exactly on the fan feedback and adopted many criticisms. Another plus is the good Modbarkeit the game - so there was already shortly after release mods for new vehicles, industries etc.
For a challenging economic simulation clearly (still) too easily, but if you like building games and model railways who can enjoy themselves here extensively.
