OpenTTD

Not the original vehicle names

For enjoyers of games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, but instead of managing a park with coasters you handle the transportation of materials for industry and people between towns and cities. Great customization options for the map generation to create endless unique and repeatable situations to overcome. Building a network of passenger busses and material delivering trucks expands to trains and planes as the time progresses. Assigning routes manually to min-max them exactly to your liking. Dealing with expansion and changing need for busses at stations, managing maintence with vehicles, or that your train systems with multiple one-way/two-way tracks are efficient and don't collide with each other. Fun classic management game, and while not a city builder per-say, offers some aspects that partially scratch that itch as well!

I remember playing TTD then TTD Deluxe 20years ago, along with Settlers 2 it was the only games I really could spend many sleepless nights with. Although interface might seem unintuitive the muscle memory and it has permanently embedded in my head. Always loved creating complex rail systems and observe as my HQ evolve from a hut on a gravel to a Massive glass covered complex. Till this day OTTD provides me a good amount of brain training activities trying to figure out routings, waypoints and most efficient ways to build my rail system. A Game that stood test of time. The game that will inspire and charm many in the upcoming future. A true gem a 5/5 from me.

If you use Linux, the easiest way to play this is to use an install script from Lutris. The GOG version does not run due to a missing .so file.

Asolutely lovely and high-polished
