Out of all similar tycoon games this game has prime aesthetic, it's quite jarring to see 1880s coalfogged London depicted so bright as long as you ignore the dead trees The game nailed the Industry part - not many can claim hundred different products to make and somewhat simple hub-and-spoke logistics with the warehouse. Now the bad part and why this is a bare 'Yes' is the transport part is legitimately awful. Rail is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless, Air is too expensive and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow, Riverine is unusable in most maps. The worst part is you are at mercy of town store expansion - planning to make an agroindustry? Too bad the next town expansion stores accepts only oil products and you will be stuck on one town since the idiots thought that it would be swell to limit you to one region unless you pay quadruple your starting money. And if you enable AI, ♥♥♥♥ you buy out AI before we let you sell here compadre. So is it good? At least it functions well as something you run in background while doing anything else. Buy it on sale.

Rise of Industry may look like a light and accessible management game at first glance, but beneath that friendly exterior lies a surprisingly deep and demanding economic system. Visually, the game is quite pleasant, even if it doesn’t really innovate in terms of graphics. It does its job well and fits the industrial theme nicely. What the game does particularly well is misleading you—in a good way. It gives the impression of being simple, but once you start understanding production chains, logistics, and market demands, the complexity ramps up quickly. This is where the game shines, but also where it can become frustrating. Personally, I often wished I could feel more clearly that I was “winning.” On more than one occasion, I had to restart my playthrough entirely before things finally clicked and I managed to move forward properly. While this speaks to the depth of its systems, it can also feel punishing and unforgiving, especially for players new to this type of management game. That said, Rise of Industry is a well-developed title with strong gameplay foundations and a solid concept. If you enjoy learning complex systems and don’t mind failing a few times before succeeding, there’s a lot to appreciate here. Recommended for players who enjoy deep management games and don’t shy away from trial and error.

It is a decent game. The economics are a little weak as you make most of the money from lower tier goods and never really need to produce higher ones except specifically for the end game goal.

A really great Transport-Tycoon-Style game. The controls are nice and clean, the graphics are nice, it runs more than well enough on my decade old rig, and the gameplay has fun depth without feeling too cluttered. Tip, don't worry about trying to do it all, try to specialize into a specific handful of industries on your first play through, and set the dispatch and/or upkeep costs to 50% in the difficulty so you don't feel too worried about perfecting your efficiency as you learn everything. I'm excited to try out the sequel, whose negative reviews mostly seem to be about early release bugs that will all be ironed out soon enough I'd guess given this game runs *very* well. All together, not just a fun game for people who have already played Transport Tycoon, but also a great game to get into the genre for people who haven't!
