Enjoyable, if a bit barebones
Route Engineer Simulator, 2017 Edition. The original Transport Fever, released many, many years ago runs well even on a system with integrated graphics and processor (currently using an i5-1155G7 with Iris Xe graphics and it runs with minor hiccups) The base game offers two campaign routes, America and Europe. They offer a decent challenge for newcomers to the game and I personally find the game to be quite interesting for anyone who's interested in the genre. I'm not quite sold on the routing, though. The curvature can be laughably weird at times, forcing the player to carefully arc and draw curves and turns along the map carefully, lest you end up with a circular curve that doesn't fit what you want it to do. When starting a "free game" (I guess a Sandbox mode?) you can randomize a map with a few options at your disposal: Flat, Medium and Hilly, modifying terrain features. In terms of difficulty, three options are also present - Easy, Medium and Hard; the three dificulty options are just that - offering you 30 million, 10 million, and 5 million starting cash, respectively to build lines to your heart's content. The starting maps will have towns that are about 3-4 blocks long and 2 blocks wide, at max, forcing you, the player, to grow it as you can with your routing skills. The chain of production is a key gameplay element, with steelmaking reliant on shipping both coal and iron to steel forges. It's a bit of a challenge to get the mix of supplies right, so that you can keep a steady flow of production. Truth be told, I haven't been able to get that right just yet. Overall, pretty solid first iteration. I haven't yet bought Transport Fever 2.
