No...

For the same reasons the others have said no...

I... didn't buy it to be cool..

I... didn't buy it to make a statement...

I Just like it...

23 hours in and I am still enjoying Production Line...

At first I found it simplistic and thought.. hey this is easy... I soon realized that it breaks down into a very complex flow of activity that requires either trial and error... or carefull planning. But once you get past that learning curve, this game is a marvel of enjoyment..

Great game from the start.. better game if you stick with it...

Certainly worth a second look if you're on the fence about buying it...

I recently bought the game.. only 21 hours into it so far.. but this is an enjoyable game :)

It does what I want it to do.. (simulates a railway empire).. Staff, stocks, competitors, etc.. All good feature that other titles were lacking, even though some have greater complexity.

This one fills that middle ground between intense realism versus simplified gameplay.

Far too laggy to be enjoyable.. If I wouldn't have gone over my 2 hour limit I would have refunded the game...

my specs:

I7 3.01ghz
24 gig of ram
GTX 970

in game setting to low.. and still its a slide show...

I like this genre and type of game... but the lag kills the enjoyment factor....

Its the kind of game you really want to like...
Its the kind of game that can hold your interest with positive gains...

The problem is...

It doesn't work...

62 hours of gameplay and all for nothing.. the game crashes for various reasons, and when it does.. you lose your ship, all its cargo, all your effort, all the hours.. it just all vanishes..

You can't recover from it, you can't fix it, you just have to do it all over again...

I really need to find me a better space game that actualy works...

Edit:

The recent updates seemed to have resolved the issues mentioned above. After many hours of trouble free entertainment. I can easily recommend Interstellar Rift to all space game fans.

It finally works as intended.

The game was not playable in single player mode..

When you press graphs, the game kicks me off the game screen and pulls up my browser with an error that sais I need to use another browser..

I have many games in my library and none of them has ever done anything similar.. I buy the game.. it downloads.. I play it.. simple..

But I am not about to change my browser because the game does not recognize mine.. Nor will I tinker with settings and trial and error forcing me over the 2 hour refund time limit whereby I am stuck with a game I can't play..

Refunded...

I have both Planet Base and Surviving Mars, and I like this one better..

The settings can be made to offer a more relaxed approach to planetary colonization. I enjoy the features and after 25 hours, I can say that ill be playing this one for a long time.

With each update comes a new money grab.

Picture this:

You have to pay real money to expand your home storage of fishing gear.

How could I possibly recommend that to anyone that is interested in the game.

My advice... Run... run fast.... run far... There are other fishing games and more coming out this year.

A mug of coffee,
A lit cigar,
A deck full of fish,
What more could you ask for...

Very enjoyable and relaxing fishing sim, Haddock Tycoon at it's finest...
