I’ve always wanted to play Transport Fever 2, and now that I finally bought the game, I can only say: I’m in love. The experience is simply amazing

If you love management games, especially those where every detail matters — this one is for you. From planning efficient routes to optimizing waiting times and watching entire cities grow thanks to your transport system, everything is engaging and rewarding

The variety of vehicles, the historical eras, the huge maps, and the creative freedom are incredible

Beautiful graphics, immersive soundtrack, well-thought-out interface... everything fits together perfectly. Transport Fever 2 is more than just a game, it’s a true transportation management experience that every fan of the genre should experience

Highly recommended!

just one more train line... 8 hours later.
the game is basically like openttd gameplay wise but more approachable (way more intuitive ui, easier vehicle management, no local authority bs) while also being more complex at the same time (emission, traffic, passengers decide where they want to go with what lines not you, towns don't grow automatically).
The game is insanely pretty and doesn't run too bad, around 45 fps on highest settings in 4K with my 6700xt which for this type of game is perfectly playable.
The soundtrack is really great, it's just way to loud by default lol
One thing I don't really like is that it's technically better to get cargo from a place far away when there's an industry providing the same thing really close. I think there should be a system in place that reduces payments for not using the closest industry. It makes boats and cargo planes quite OP since you can bring in something from the other side of the map without much effort and make big money from it. But money stopped being a big issue after a few hours in freeplay anyways, when emissions and network congestion become bigger challenges. Tractive effort should matter more, there's some locomotives that have specially high tractive effort but that stat only makes a difference for prolonged maximum grade uphill sections which just doesn't happen normally.
The campaign is neat, interesting scenarios taking you trough history, but overall is just way too easy. You're giving enough money to complete every scenario even while losing money the whole time.
There are many great mods.

Best train game ever.
