The verdict
A deep, beautiful transport tycoon and virtual model railway with a huge mod scene. Skip it if you want economic challenge or hate opaque tutorials and finicky routing bugs.
Great for
Train and logistics fans who like relaxed sandbox building, optimizing networks and installing Workshop mods
Main risk
Poor tutorial and finicky routing bugs leave cargo or trains not working with no explanation
What players love
Huge Workshop mod support
