So far this game (excuse me-simulator lol) is AWESOME! Although I no longer ski nor ridden on a chairlift/gondola in years due to fear of heights, I've always dreamed of playing a sim like this. My computer is almost 7 years old with very little upgrades (it's a custom-build), so it doesn't like super high-end graphics, but it runs the sim well enough that it's reasonably enjoyable. I apologize in advance if this review sounds funny to some, but I'm not the best at these so please bare with me :D Now to list the pros and cons:

PROS
1. A decent selection of chairlifts and gondolas to choose from.
2. The developer was able to use real manufacturer names.
3. You can RIDE each chairlift and gondola.
4. Has sandbox mode for those who either want to mess around with everything and for those who want their own winter resort.
5. A decent selection of land vehicles to drive.

CONS
1. The "ropeways" that have touchscreen controls in each station weren't programmed to let you click on every possible button/were not simulated.
2. The sim will randomly freeze/won't let me use all the keybinds, thus having no choice but to force-close the sim.
3. I have only gotten career mode to work once, and that was only for the "first" career mode (the one without the 2 next to it). Now they all keep crashing before fully loading.

NOTE: This review will likely be updated at a future date, so stay tuned!

Short Review after up to 30 HOR. The first Episode in 2019 was not bad. HR Innoways has proofed there is a new way to create Winter-Managment Simulators. May u can remember Giants great Prog. Ski Region Simulator from 2012. That was my alltime favorite Winter-Managment Game so long. But: Now we have WRS 2 Season 2. And it´s great. The Landscape is Awesome. Also the graphics (Unity Engine). U can own and manage a Ropeway and service it for Customers. Do nice Missions. Edit u Slopes and have fun with this Magic-Winter Atmosphere. For me: My third favorite game of the year. Ok it is Gamepad compatible (In my case X Box One Gamepad). For the Missions when u have to do more things it´s a bit tricky. But the driving works fine. Give it a try. It´s worth of. May u wait till 22th. of December this year, when we have Sale. Maybe it will be off for 10%. Better as nothing. My resume: 9 \ 10.

Feel free to watch the Gameplay of our Nordrheintvplay to get impressions of the game.

A very good upgrade from season 1.
Season 1 was a bit trash but this season is amazing.
Buy it you won`t regret it

Good game with great graphics and I loved the first one so was very happy to get season 2 for free. This however is where the positives end and the negatives begin, the game is too performance heavy and has a habit of quite considerable lag which makes the game unplayable, another complaint is that the online multiplayer very rarely connects and after an hour of trying with various degrees of success, I have just given up. I think with time and updates this game will live up to its predecessor however it is not there yet.

This game has amazing potential and is headed in the right direction. So relaxing to play and I'm hooked!

This is NOT a management simulation where you are running a ski resort. Perhaps it has elements of that, but after playing one tutorial and the start of the career I found myself operating a gondola ski lift to feed the lines as part of opening up the lift in the morning, and then I was driving a truck and a snow groomer. I did not place a single ski slope or plan a run. It was NOT what I wanted as I dislike driving simulators and the rest was pure tedium.

The concept is good, but the performance and overall playability are just terrible. I'm getting around 20-30 FPS with an i7 8700K, GTX 1070 and 16 GB RAM. There are also quite a few bugs which makes everything so much more unplayable.

This game feels like an early access game and not a full release.

I do not recommend it at all.

The game is lacking so many challenges. it reminds me of ski resort simulator 2012. and then realising that is a game from 8 years ago and then seeing this makes me wish I did not spend my money on it. I'm missing the distress calls from skiers who had an accident and after snowfall clearing the roads from the fresh snow. but unfortunately, this game is lacking those features.

and then another question is why is there a season 1 and a season 2. in my opinion season 2 should be season one and the DLC by season 2 should be free or 5 euros maximum definitely not 20.

and I miss a lot of inspiration from the developers. I can think of multiple ideas which would have given this game just a little bit extra, like hiring staff which you can put at some jobs like snow grooming or lift operation or slope rescue. and I know that I can press the button to have the job done but that is no fun I want to hire Hans after I read his application letter. and why can't I sell tickets as the player.

The level of detail that has gone into how the ropeways work is impressive. I started career mode, it took me through a tutorial. The tutorial seems to be a showcase of some incredibly detailed modelling, I thought I was in for a treat, but after that there was not really a game to speak of.

It basically boils down to loading the ropeways in the morning, unloading them at night. Waste the rest of your time driving around in a groomer, which would be kinda fun if there was actually snow to push around - but there isn't. You drive over a piece of terrain and it gets switched from ungroomed to groomed, then turns into moguls (including on the flats) far too quickly to actually make much progress in preparing your resort. (I don't know about you but I've never skied a resort that was groomed in the morning, 100% moguls by lunchtime, with hardly anyone on the slopes!) The only way to keep up is to click the button to pay and have it prepared instantly, which you have to do otherwise after two hours (game time) your trail is back to 0% preparedness and you don't make any money...

You got bored driving up and down the same stretch of terrain when you did it the first time, not gonna do it again just to keep one slope open. Same thing for loading and unloading the lifts. Once you figure out how they work there's no reason to keep doing it manually over and over again. Now the game boils down to a management sim, but there's no management. There needs to be some aspect of hiring staff and allocating them a piece of equipment to operate. Then it should take some time for them to groom a slope (not instant) and there should be some payoff for the effort. All you can really do is sit with the game of fast forward waiting for the money to come in to open a few more runs and the next lift. But you can't do that either as the lifts don't work properly on fast forward, so your queues build up and guests get pissed off...

Overall it is a good for seeing how the ropeways work. Huge ambition is shown here, and with the monetary backing to expand that to the rest of the game, it could have been great - AAA+ If all you want to do is operate a lift, jump on it for a ride and take a look around the scenery, that's great! But don't come searching for a game here as that part hasn't been finished.
