I tried this game when I first bought and struggled with laying tracks. Went back to it a week ago, worked It out, and not played a different game since !

The negative reviews for this game are very frustrating - it is objectively an improved and streamlined followup to the original that removes a lot of points of frustration and allows us to make bigger and more exciting layouts. The negative reviews I see largely come down to two things: 1) "Simplifying" the game. I did NOT enjoy manually placing signals, creating complex transfer criss-cross lines at stations, and micromanaging individual trains. I enjoy building efficient railways to handle different loads of trains, and now I can focus on that. Stations can have twice as many platforms, and you can have way more stations per city, so these changes are a big plus for me 2) Not using trains outside of their historical region. I can see why freeplay players might be annoyed by this, but I only play scenerios so this doesn't apply to me.

Fun game, not as detailed as Transport Fever, but more like an improved Sid Meier Railroads

I bought this game thinking it would be a fun game to play with my kids. Turns out this game is definitely not a game that 12 year olds can play easily. LOL Instead, I am completely engrossed in this game and have spent many, many hours building railroads, demolishing railroads to remake them, routing supplies, building factories in cities, ensuring each city has enough supplies to continue growing, buying and selling stocks, buying farms and companies, and meeting checklist deadlines. This is a very in-depth game and tedious if you don't enjoy having to make small and large adjustments as you work your way through the countries you are expanding in. Also, you will almost certainly have to start the first chapter over again a few times until you figure out the finer mechanics of the game.
