I bought this on sale a few weeks back, mainly because I love trains. To my surprise though, you don't have to be all that into trains to love this game! I've been obsessively playing this game for weeks now. I think I can finally, safely say that if you - like me - have played a hell of a lot of Theme Hospital/SimCity and other micro-manager games... this is definitely for you. Be warned though, much like Theme Hospital... it can be brutally hard. BUT be patient, get some practice in on some easier levels and you'll end up glued to it like me! Now, the proper review stuff... this game is so charming! The artwork is gorgeous, I love all the little jokes and funny ad designs and stuff snuck in as well. Overall, the game works great! Of course, like any indie game, there's a few annoying bugs that make the gameplay difficult at times. But you do learn how to work with/around them. And again, a very DIFFICULT game. When I started I tried to find some tips online, but continued to get the same ones regurgitated everywhere. So, here's mine: 1. Complete a network on FULL EASY mode first. (I know, it feels weak but trust me... get used to how all of the upgrades and things work BEFORE you jump into normal difficulty.) 2. Don't upgrade until it's absolutely essential! People will constantly complain that you don't have certain things (plants, shops etc.) but getting that rep up, and saving up some profits first is the most important thing. Start with one platform, milk it until you've got a >75% rep and a good $5k - $10k and *then* upgrade. 3. Invest in your staff! They're absolutely everything in this game. I don't EVER let them go without a good staff room near every platform. (Also, keep the water right next to the door, they often just need a drink and will head right back out.) 4. Yes, put those advertisements on every wall you can! It's all income, and you need it! 5. Don't be afraid to have many smaller rooms. When I started I was trying to make a giant tool room, a giant staff room etc. Now I generally end up with lots of smaller rooms everywhere. This way your staff have access to what they need, where they need it ASAP. 6. Pay attention to the heatmap. Always try to keep your power utility room below, or away from your platforms. It's one of the biggest contributors to the heatmap (especially when you've got mostly generators.) Also, once you have lvl 1 aircons... put those bad boys everywhere you can. Next to every PA, lift, ATM, food machine etc. 7. Always try to end your day with some extra money available. God, the amount of times my staff have gone on strike the next morning because I couldn't pay them... your rep will get hurt from any heart attacks/vandals etc. going unchecked by the staff. 8. Last on my list, but probably one of the most helpful! Don't try to get too fancy with your entrances/platforms to the point that the flow checker can't cope, and your passengers don't know how to get around. Annoying as it is, keep ticket machines and gates close to EVERY entrance, so that they can access ALL the platforms after going through the gate. Save yourself the headache. I'm sure there's more, but these are the main ones that I never found anywhere else! Highly recommend, and Happy playing!

This took more of a learning curve than I first expected but once you pick up a strategy you like you can quickly burn a few hours off the clock. This game can become quite addictive if you let it. Nice job.

This game is fantastic. The game mechanics remind me of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, Parkitecht, and 2 Point Hospital. Each map is a unique logistical puzzle, which helps keeps it interesting.

Typically, games like this fall in two categories: Stressful situation management, and endless tinkering. This game straddles the line between both in a very fun way.

I'm loving this game so far but I can already tell that this could have been so much better if they had continued updating it.
