Railroader

I greatly enjoy railroader for its logistics, not its sim. If you are looking for a sim railroader is not an ideal option, but if you want to manage the logistics like no other game, railroader is the best for it.

it's alright

Railroader, oh boy what a ride. First thought when I saw this was, "Oh cool! A multiplayer train simulator. This should be fun." A few blinks and I now have over 300 hrs in the game. This isn't just a train sim, it's on its way to being a proper Railroad management Sim. I enjoyed the map progression really gives you something to work towards. But what really blew me away was how this game switched from a train sim to a "management" sim. I often find myself "planning" how and when I want to run either my passenger or freight service. Very excited to see where the MOW update takes us. Wait a minute, custom timetables, managing multiple different consists, and a map you need to save up for and pay to increase, close enough, welcome back Railroad Tycoon. 10/10 "Stimulate the TISM."

the reality of the game

After playing the tutorial and a few hours more, I am very positive about this game. The engine controls are good although a bit basic, after loading coal and water, the boiler magically is up to steam, I understand the focus of this game is more on driving than on the engineering part, it would have looked good to have an animated stoker on the cab. Animations look good overall, performance on my PC is also good on the highest settings. Little details are slobby like, the valve gears always run forward even when they are in neutral or reverse, I think this would be an easy fix in a future update. I have not yet tried the multi-player or AI engineer features, as a single player game it is already very enjoyable.

I like trains.
